Update it and flesh it out a bit. In particular, - Mention that .kunitconfig is now in the build directory - Describe the use of --kunitconfig to specify a different config framgent - Mention the split functionality (i.e., commands other than 'run') - Describe --raw_output and kunit.py parse - Mention the globbing support - Provide a quick overview of other options, including --build_dir and --alltests Note that this does overlap a little with the new running_tips page. I don't think it's a problem having both: this page is supposed to be a bit more of a reference, rather than a list of useful tips, so the fact that they both describe the same features isn't a problem.

In addition, it verifies that the generated .config contains the CONFIG options in the .kunitconfig; the reason it does this is so that it is easy to be sure that a CONFIG that enables a test actually ends up in the .config. -How do I use kunit_tool? -======================== +It's also possible to pass a separate .kunitconfig fragment to kunit_tool, +which is useful if you have several different groups of tests you wish +to run independently, or if you want to use pre-defined test configs for +certain subsystems. + +Getting Started with kunit_tool +=============================== If a kunitconfig is present at the root directory, all you have to do is: @@ -48,10 +53,129 @@ However, you most likely want to use it with the following options: .. note:: This command will work even without a .kunitconfig file: if no - .kunitconfig is present, a default one will be used instead. + .kunitconfig is present, a default one will be used instead. + +If you wish to use a different .kunitconfig file (such as one provided for +testing a particular subsystem), you can pass it as an option. + +.. code-block:: bash + + ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig=fs/ext4/.kunitconfig For a list of all the flags supported by kunit_tool, you can run: .. code-block:: bash ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --help + +Configuring, Building, and Running Tests +======================================== + +It's also possible to run just parts of the KUnit build process independently, +which is useful if you want to make manual changes to part of the process. + +A .config can be generated from a .kunitconfig by using the ``config`` argument +when running kunit_tool: + +.. code-block:: bash + + ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py config + +Similarly, if you just want to build a KUnit kernel from the current .config, +you can use the ``build`` argument: + +.. code-block:: bash + + ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py build + +And, if you already have a built UML kernel with built-in KUnit tests, you can +run the kernel and display the test results with the ``exec`` argument: + +.. code-block:: bash + + ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py exec + +The ``run`` command which is discussed above is equivalent to running all three +of these in sequence. + +All of these commands accept a number of optional command-line arguments.

For example, if you only wanted +to run KUnit resource tests, you could use: + +.. code-block:: bash + + ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run 'kunit-resource*' + +This uses the standard glob format for wildcards. + +Other Useful Options +==================== + +kunit_tool has a number of other command-line arguments which can be useful +when adapting it to fit your environment or needs. + +Some of the more useful ones are: + +``--help`` + Lists all of the available options. Note that different commands + (``config``, ``build``, ``run``, etc) will have different supported + options. Place ``--help`` before the command to list common options, + and after the command for options specific to that command. + +``--build_dir`` + Specifies the build directory that kunit_tool will use. This is where + the .kunitconfig file is located, as well as where the .config and + compiled kernel will be placed. Defaults to ``.kunit``. + +``--make_options`` + Specifies additional options to pass to ``make`` when compiling a + kernel (with the ``build`` or ``run`` commands). For example, to enable + compiler warnings, you can pass ``--make_options W=1``. + +``--alltests`` + Builds a UML kernel with all config options enabled using + ``make allyesconfig``. This allows you to run as many tests as is + possible, but is very slow and prone to breakage as new options are + added or modified. Most people should add ``CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=1`` + to their .kunitconfig instead if they wish to run "all tests". + + +There are several other options (and new ones are often added), so do check +``--help`` if you're looking for something not mentioned here. -- 2.31.1.368.gbe11c130af-goog
