Au / Gold Test

notes

In TS repo subdir tests.  In this dir, run ./autest.sh --ats-bin <install-ats-bin-path> -f <test-name> where <test-name>.test.py file is in the gold_tests dir tree.

Some of the python code for Au Test is in files with a .ext extension rather than a .py extension. 

TS/tests/gold_tests/autest-site contains python extensions that are specific to trafficserver for Au Test. 

Weird failures can be caused by a ‘stale’ env-test subdirectory.  If you do ‘rm -rf env-test’, this will trigger bootstrap.py to re-run, getting the latest contents for env-test.

Test.RunDirectory - _sandbox/<test-name>
Test.TestDirectory - directory with <test-name>.test.py file.
Test.AtsTestToolsDir - TS/tests/tools

ts = Test.MakeATSProcess("ts")
ts.port - cleartext port
ts.ssl_port - TLS encrypted port 

Test.Env is an “environment” dictionary.  Test.Env[‘PWD’] gives the path of current working directory for example.

`` in a gold file will match any sequence of chars preceding the literal text (or end of line) following it when comparing to a gold file.  For example:

Date: 25Jun1962

Will match:

Date: ``Jun``

In the gold file.
