No need to accumulate errors if the load or unload fails. Leaving the
testprog failure non-fatal so that the test will then call unload to
clean up after itself.
This is a basic integration test framework for kpatch, which tests
building, loading, and unloading patches, as well as any other related
custom tests.
The kpatch-test script looks for test input files in the
tests/integration directory. It expects certain file naming
conventions:
- foo.patch - patch that should build successfully
- bar-FAIL.patch - patch that should fail to build
- foo-LOADED.test - executable which tests whether the foo.patch module
is loaded. It will be used to test that loading/unloading the patch
module works as expected.
Any other *.test files will be executed after all the patch modules have
been built from the *.patch files. They can be used for more custom
tests above and beyond the simple loading and unloading tests.
I just have one test here, but many more to come eventually. I'm
constantly doing manual testing of patches and am planning on automating
them with this framework.
