All the tests expect you to execute them from the main regress
directory!
+Running the disk based tests:
+
You can run all the disk based tests by doing:
./do_file
system, provided you have configured the database appropriately
as noted above.
+Running all the "standard" tests:
+
You can run all the disk and most of the tape tests by doing:
./do_all
this cleans up any files that may be created with root permissions.
+Tape test naming convention:
+
+The last part of the tape test name indicates (in general) what kind
+of test it is. They are broken (for the most part) into test names
+ending with:
+
+ -test => a disk based test
+ -tape => a tape based test (can be a standalone tape drive
+ or an autochanger). Only one tape will be used
+ and it is assumed to be mounted.
+ -changer => you have an autochanger
+
+Adding tests:
+
If you want to add more tests, do so by putting the shell script
in the tests subdirectory. Be careful when adding (or better not)
new clients, pools, and such to the test-bacula-dir.conf.in file
make sed
Debugging failed tests:
+
Prior versions required editing the tests/xxxx and changing a debug flag.
However, that has been replaced by two environment variables:
info symbol 0x8082d58
add_address(dlist**, IPADDR::i_type, unsigned short, int, char const*, char
const*, char**) + 568 in section .text
+
+Testing a Binary Installation:
+
+If you have installed your Bacula from a binary release such as (rpms or
+debs), you can still run regression tests on it. First, make sure that your
+regression config file uses the same catalog backend as your installed
+binaries. Then define the variables bin and scripts variables in your config
+file.
+
+Example:
+bin=/opt/bacula/bin
+scripts=/opt/bacula/scripts
+
+The ./scripts/prepare-other-loc will tweak the regress scripts to use
+your binary location. You will need to run it manually once before you run any
+regression tests.
+
+$ ./scripts/prepare-other-loc
+$ ./tests/backup-bacula-test
+...
+
+All regression scripts must be run by hand or by calling the test scripts.
+These are principally scripts that begin with all_... such as all_disk_tests},
+./all_tests
+
+None of the
+./do_disk, ./do_all, ./nightly... scripts will work.
+
+If you want to switch back to running the regression scripts from source, first
+remove the bin and scripts variables from your config file and
+rerun the make setup step.
