Running regression tests:
-------------------------
Prerequisites: cmake, python, ImageMagick 6.5.9.3 or newer
A) Building test environment
Linux, Mac:
$ cd tests
$ cmake .
$ make
Windows + MSVC:
First, get a normal build working by following instructions at
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Building_on_Windows
Then, from the QT command prompt:
> cd tests
> cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
> sed -i s/\/MD/\/MT/ CMakeCache.txt
> cmake .
> nmake -f Makefile
Cross compiling Linux->Win32:
Please see openscad/tests/CMingw-cross-env.cmake for instructions.
B) Running tests
$ ctest Runs tests enabled by default
$ ctest -R <regex> Runs only matching tests, e.g. ctest -R dxf
$ ctest -C <configs> Adds extended tests belonging to configs.
Valid configs:
Default - Run default tests
Heavy - Run more time consuming tests (> ~10 seconds)
Examples - test all examples
All - test everything
Adding a new regression test:
------------------------------
1) create a test file at an appropriate location under testdata/
2) if the test is non-obvious, create a human readable description as comments in the test (or in another file in the same directory in case the file isn't human readable)
3) if a new test app was written, this must be added to tests/CMakeLists.txt
4) Add the tests to the test apps for which you want them to run (in tests/CMakeLists.txt)
5) run the test with the environment variable TEST_GENERATE=1, e.g.:
$ TEST_GENERATE=1 ctest -R mytest
(this will generate a mytest-expected.txt file which is used for regression testing)
6) manually verify that the output is correct (tests/regression/<testapp>/mytest-expected.<suffix>)
7) run the test normally and verify that it passes:
$ ctest -R mytest
Troubleshooting:
------------------------------
0. Headless unix servers
If you are attempting to run the tests on a unix-like system but only
have shell-console access, you may be able to run the tests by using a
virtual framebuffer program like Xvnc or Xvfb. For example:
$ Xvfb :5 -screen 0 800x600x24 &
$ DISPLAY=:5 ctest
Some versions of Xvfb may fail, however.
1. Trouble finding libraries on unix
To help CMAKE find eigen2, OpenCSG, CGAL, Boost, and GLEW, you can use
environment variables, just like for the main qmake & openscad.pro. Examples:
OPENSCAD_LIBRARIES=~ cmake .
CGALDIR=~/CGAL-3.9 BOOSTDIR=~/boost-1.47.0 cmake .
Valid variables are as follows:
BOOSTDIR, CGALDIR, EIGEN2DIR, GLEWDIR, OPENCSGDIR, OPENSCAD_LIBRARIES
2. Location of logs
Logs of test runs are found in tests/build/Testing/Temporary
A pretty-printed index.html is in a subdir of tests/build/Testing/Temporary
Expected results are found in tests/regression/*
Actual results are found in tests/build/testname-output/*
3. Image-based tests takes a long time, they fail, and the log says 'return -11'
Imagemagick may have crashed while comparing the expected images to the
test-run generated (actual) images. You can try using the alternate
ImageMagick comparison method by by erasing CMakeCache, and re-running
cmake with -DCOMPARATOR=ncc. This will enable the Normalized Cross
Comparison method.
4. Testing images fails with 'morphology not found" for ImageMagick in the log
Your version of imagemagick is old. Upgrade, or pass -DCOMPARATOR=old to
cmake. The comparison will be of lowered reliability.
