21# Test specific options are set after the label:
22#
23# TEST_START
24#
25# The options after a TEST_START label are specific to that test.
26# Each TEST_START label will set up a new test. If you want to
27# perform a test more than once, you can add the ITERATE label
28# to it followed by the number of times you want that test
29# to iterate. If the ITERATE is left off, the test will only
30# be performed once.
31#
32# TEST_START ITERATE 10
33#
34# You can skip a test by adding SKIP (before or after the ITERATE
35# and number)
36#
37# TEST_START SKIP
38#
39# TEST_START SKIP ITERATE 10
40#
41# TEST_START ITERATE 10 SKIP
42#
43# The SKIP label causes the options and the test itself to be ignored.
44# This is useful to set up several different tests in one config file, and
45# only enabling the ones you want to use for a current test run.
46#
47# You can add default options anywhere in the file as well
48# with the DEFAULTS tag. This allows you to have default options
49# after the test options to keep the test options at the top
50# of the file. You can even place the DEFAULTS tag between
51# test cases (but not in the middle of a single test case)
52#
53# TEST_START
54# MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-test1
55#
56# DEFAULTS
57# MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-default
58#
59# TEST_START ITERATE 10
60#
61# The above will run the first test with MIN_CONFIG set to
62# /home/test/config-test-1. Then 10 tests will be executed
63# with MIN_CONFIG with /home/test/config-default.
64#
65# You can also disable defaults with the SKIP option
66#
67# DEFAULTS SKIP
68# MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-use-sometimes
69#
70# DEFAULTS
71# MIN_CONFIG = /home/test/config-most-times
72#
73# The above will ignore the first MIN_CONFIG. If you want to
74# use the first MIN_CONFIG, remove the SKIP from the first
75# DEFAULTS tag and add it to the second. Be careful, options
76# may only be declared once per test or default. If you have
77# the same option name under the same test or as default
78# ktest will fail to execute, and no tests will run.

80# DEFAULTS OVERRIDE
81#
82# Options defined in the DEFAULTS section can not be duplicated
83# even if they are defined in two different DEFAULT sections.
84# This is done to catch mistakes where an option is added but
85# the previous option was forgotten about and not commented.
86#
87# The OVERRIDE keyword can be added to a section to allow this
88# section to override other DEFAULT sections values that have
89# been defined previously. It will only override options that
90# have been defined before its use. Options defined later
91# in a non override section will still error. The same option
92# can not be defined in the same section even if that section
93# is marked OVERRIDE.

178# statements. Config variables will be passed to these files and changes
179# to config variables will be seen by top level config files. Including
180# a file is processed just like the contents of the file was cut and pasted
181# into the top level file, except, that include files that end with
182# TEST_START sections will have that section ended at the end of
183# the include file. That is, an included file is included followed
184# by another DEFAULT keyword.
185#
186# Unlike other files referenced in this config, the file path does not need
187# to be absolute. If the file does not start with '/', then the directory

203#### Config variables ####
204#
205# This config file can also contain "config variables".
206# These are assigned with ":=" instead of the ktest option
afbac6c5 207# assignment "=".
77d942ce
SR
208#
209# The difference between ktest options and config variables
210# is that config variables can be used multiple times,
211# where each instance will override the previous instance.
212# And that they only live at time of processing this config.
213#
214# The advantage to config variables are that they can be used
215# by any option or any other config variables to define thing
216# that you may use over and over again in the options.
217#
218# For example:
219#
220# USER := root
221# TARGET := mybox
222# TEST_CASE := ssh ${USER}@${TARGET} /path/to/my/test
223#
224# TEST_START
225# MIN_CONFIG = config1
226# TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
227#
228# TEST_START
229# MIN_CONFIG = config2
230# TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
231#
232# TEST_CASE := ssh ${USER}@${TARGET} /path/to/my/test2
233#
234# TEST_START
235# MIN_CONFIG = config1
236# TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
237#
238# TEST_START
239# MIN_CONFIG = config2
240# TEST = ${TEST_CASE}
241#
242# TEST_DIR := /home/me/test
243#
244# BUILD_DIR = ${TEST_DIR}/linux.git
245# OUTPUT_DIR = ${TEST_DIR}/test
246#
247# Note, the config variables are evaluated immediately, thus
248# updating TARGET after TEST_CASE has been assigned does nothing
249# to TEST_CASE.
250#
251# As shown in the example, to evaluate a config variable, you
252# use the ${X} convention. Simple $X will not work.
253#
254# If the config variable does not exist, the ${X} will not
255# be evaluated. Thus:
256#
257# MAKE_CMD = PATH=/mypath:${PATH} make
258#
259# If PATH is not a config variable, then the ${PATH} in
260# the MAKE_CMD option will be evaluated by the shell when
261# the MAKE_CMD option is passed into shell processing.
a57419b3 262
2a62512b
SR
263#### Using options in other options ####
264#
265# Options that are defined in the config file may also be used
afbac6c5 266# by other options. All options are evaluated at time of
2a62512b
SR
267# use (except that config variables are evaluated at config
268# processing time).
269#
270# If an ktest option is used within another option, instead of
271# typing it again in that option you can simply use the option
272# just like you can config variables.
273#
274# MACHINE = mybox
275#
276# TEST = ssh root@${MACHINE} /path/to/test
277#
278# The option will be used per test case. Thus:
279#
280# TEST_TYPE = test
281# TEST = ssh root@{MACHINE}
282#
283# TEST_START
284# MACHINE = box1
285#
286# TEST_START
287# MACHINE = box2
288#
289# For both test cases, MACHINE will be evaluated at the time
290# of the test case. The first test will run ssh root@box1
291# and the second will run ssh root@box2.
