In the libabigail project, almost all the tests for the tools follow a similar pattern. The test contains a set of input files to compare. The result of the comparison is thus compared to a set of reference comparison result. This approach is already documented in the CONTRIBUTING file. There are several interesting properties with this scheme. First, it capture the behaviour of the tools, including what is shown to the user. Second, it eases the job of a hacker who wants to add a new test for a new behaviour of a given tool. The user just has to provide: 1/ A new reference output of the new use case of the tool (that is easily constructed by using the tool itself and saving its output) and add an entry to array of entries that describe what to compare 2/ A new set of inputs to the tool And voila. Unfortunately, fedabipkgdiff tests don't follow this scheme. That make them surprising to hackers who read the source code of the existing tests, at very least. Also, the fedabipkgdiff tests were only unit tests. They were not testing the tool as used by users in general. This patch makes the fedabipkgdiff tests follow the general approach of the tests of the other Libabigail tools. The patch first craetes a program names tests/mockfedabipkgdiff. It's a wrapper around tools/fedabipkgdiff. It overloads the Koji client of fedabipkgdiff with a fake Koji client that gets the Fedora packages locally, from tests/data/test-fedabipkgdiff/packages. In other words, mockfedabipkgdiff is fedabipkgdiff without going to the network. I believe that in the future, tests/mockfedabipkgdiff should be killed when fedabipkgdiff is able to cache a local description of a local partial view of a Koji repository, along with the build packages that were already downloaded. That way, calling fedabipkgdiff twice with the same set of option should make the tool perform correctly without going to the netword on the second invocation. We should be able to save the local partial view of the Koji repository under e.g, tests/data/test-fedabipkgdiff/local-koji and tell fedabipkgdiff to use that, instead of using the network. But we are not there yet. So for now, I am using mockfedabipkgdiff. Then, tests/runtestfedabipkdiff.py.in has been re-written to use tests/mockfedabipkgdiff and to look like what is described in CONTRIBUTING as far as how Libabigail tools' tests are organized: mockfedabipkgdiff is called to perform a comparison. The result of the comparison is then compared (using GNU diff) to a reference comparison result file. Please note that tests/runtestfedabipkdiff.py is relatively fast for the moment. But when it contains much more tests and start becoming slow, then we'll need to change the code to run several comparisons in parallel, just like we do today in tests/test-diff-filter.cc. At that point, I believe I'll just re-write this in C++, just like tests/test-diff-filter.cc because that will allow us to have true concurrent code based on the abigail:workers API. For now, I am keeping this in Python also because I think that keeps Chenxiong happy ;-) To be sure that fedabipkgdiff (and its underlying abipkgdiff) are really comparing all the packages they are supposed to compare and also all the binaries in those packages, I have added a new --show-identical-binaries to abipkgdiff and fedabipkgdiff. That option shows the name of the binaries (and packages) that are compared, *even if* the ABI of those binaries are identical. Because otherwise, today, if two binaries (or packages) have the same ABI, nothing is displayed. For instance, here is the result of comparing a package against itself, using this new --show-identical-binaries options: dodji@adjoa:patches$ ./tools/fedabipkgdiff --abipkgdiff ./build/tools/abipkgdiff --show-identical-binaries dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm Comparing the ABI of binaries between dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm and dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm: ================ changes of 'dbus-binding-tool'=============== No ABI change detected ================ end of changes of 'dbus-binding-tool'=============== ================ changes of 'libdbus-glib-1.so.2.1.0'=============== No ABI change detected ================ end of changes of 'libdbus-glib-1.so.2.1.0'=============== dodji@adjoa:patches$ And here is what this command before that patch would do: dodji@adjoa:patches$ ./tools/fedabipkgdiff --abipkgdiff ../master/build/tools/abipkgdiff dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm Comparing the ABI of binaries between dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm and dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64.rpm: dodji@adjoa:patches$ The rest of the patch is mostly new test inputs material and the necessary adjustments following all the changes above. * configure.ac: Do not require Python dependencies itertools, unittest and StringIO anymore as they are not used anymore. Require new module tempfile now. Generate new executable script tests/mockfedabipkgdiff from tests/mockfedabipkgdiff.in. * doc/manuals/abipkgdiff.rst: Add doc for new option --show-identical-binaries to abipkgdiff * doc/manuals/fedabipkgdiff.rst: Add doc for new options --show-identical-binaries to fedabipkgdiff. * tools/abipkgdiff.cc (options::show_identical_binaries): New data member. (options::options): Initialize new data member. (display_usage): Add a new help string for the new --show-identical-binaries option. (parse_command_line): Parse the newq --show-identical-binaries command line switch. (pthread_routine_compare): When the comparison of two binaries is empty, if --show-identical-binaries was provided, then emit some output saying the comparison did yield the empty set. * tools/fedabipkgdiff (DEFAULT_ABIPKGDIFF): Store the default path to abipkgdiff in this new global variable. Naming this default path is useful because it can then be cleanly overloaded when using mock.patch. (build_path_to_abipkgdiff): Return the new DEFAULT_ABIPKGDIFF global variable. (cmd): Parse the new --show-identical-binaries command line switch. * tests/data/test-diff-pkg/test-dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64-report-0.txt: New reference output. * tests/data/test-fedabipkgdiff/test0-from-fc20-to-fc23-dbus-glib-report-0.txt: Likewise. * tests/data/test-fedabipkgdiff/test1-from-fc20-to-dbus-glib-0.106-1.fc23.x86_64-report-0.txt: Likewise. * tests/data/test-fedabipkgdiff/test2-dbus-glib-0.100.2-2.fc20--dbus-glib-0.106-1.fc23-report-0.txt: Likewise. * tests/data/test-fedabipkgdiff/test3-dbus-glib-0.100.2-2.fc20.i686--dbus-glib-0.106-1.fc23.i686-report-0.txt: Likewise. * tests/mockfedabipkgdiff.in: New uninstalled script template. * tests/runtestfedabipkgdiff.py.in (counter) (temp_file_or_dir_prefix, UtilsTest, RPMTest, LocalRPMTest) (RunAbipkgdiffTest, GetPackageLatestBuildTest, DownloadRPMTest) (BrewListRPMsTest, AssertionHelper, MockGlobalConfig) (BUILT_ABIPKGDIFF, CompareABIFromCommandLineTest): Remove these classes, global variables and functions. (FEDABIPKGDIFF, TEST_SRC_DIR, TEST_BUILD_DIR, INPUT_DIR) (OUTPUT_DIR, FEDABIPKGDIFF_TEST_SPECS): New global variables. (ensure_output_dir_created, run_fedabipkgdiff_tests, main): New functions. * tests/test-diff-pkg.cc (in_out_specs): Add tests/data/test-diff-pkg/test-dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64-report-0.txt to the set of reference outputs to consider. * tests/Makefile.am: Add non-installed script mockfedabipkgdiff to source distribution. Also added tests/data/test-diff-pkg/test-dbus-glib-0.80-3.fc12.x86_64-report-0.txt, tests/data/test-fedabipkgdiff/test0-from-fc20-to-fc23-dbus-glib-report-0.txt, tests/data/test-fedabipkgdiff/test1-from-fc20-to-dbus-glib-0.106-1.fc23.x86_64-report-0.txt, tests/data/test-fedabipkgdiff/test2-dbus-glib-0.100.2-2.fc20--dbus-glib-0.106-1.fc23-report-0.txt and tests/data/test-fedabipkgdiff/test3-dbus-glib-0.100.2-2.fc20.i686--dbus-glib-0.106-1.fc23.i686-report-0.txt to source distribution.
