[Bacula-devel] CTest testers needed

[Frank S. <fs@WPI.EDU>]

Hi all,

  I have a working first pass at a Dart dashboard up and running.  Before I
call it good, though, I was hoping a few other people who are already
comfortable running regression tests could give it a try and make sure they
can generate and submit results.

If you'd like to give it a spin, here are the steps:

1. Apply the attached patch to your regression directory.

2. Edit your config file and add a SITE_NAME parameter.  This should be a
unique identifier that indicates what system this particular build is coming
from.  Throwing in a user identifier is probably a good idea too.  For example:

SITE_NAME=fsweetser-bacula-test

3. Rerun ./scripts/do_sed

4. Run cmake directly:

ctest -D Nightly -R <foo>:

where <foo> is one of:
 all-non-root-2tape
 all-non-root-tape
 all-non-root
 all-root
 all-tape-and-file

depending on which test wrapper script you normally run.  Note the trailing
colon!  So if you normally run the all-non-root-tests script (ie, do_file) you
would run

ctest -D Nightly -R all-non-root:

This should run svn update, re-run make setup if needed, run the tests, and
submit the test results.

Once this completes (hopefully without error!) you can view the dashboard in
its temporary location at

http://bacula-test:8081

Note that test results are rolled into the dashboard periodically rather than
instantly, so it may be up to 15 minutes or so before submitted results become
visible.
