+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>The following corrections and improvements are done in
+ the common_test hook handling:</p> <list> <item> <p>An
+ extra argument, <c>Suite</c>, is added as the first
+ argument to each of the following hook callback
+ functions:</p> <list>
+ <item><c>pre_init_per_group</c></item>
+ <item><c>post_init_per_group</c></item>
+ <item><c>pre_end_per_group</c></item>
+ <item><c>post_end_per_group</c></item>
+ <item><c>pre_init_per_testcase</c></item>
+ <item><c>post_init_per_testcase</c></item>
+ <item><c>pre_end_per_testcase</c></item>
+ <item><c>post_end_per_testcase</c></item>
+ <item><c>on_tc_fail</c></item>
+ <item><c>on_tc_skip</c></item> </list> <p>For backwards
+ compatibility, if the new function is not exported from a
+ hook callback module, <c>common_test</c> will fall back
+ to the old interface and call the function without the
+ <c>Suite</c> argument.</p> </item> <item> <p>If either
+ <c>init_per_suite</c> or <c>end_per_suite</c> exists, but
+ not the other, then the non-existing function will be
+ reported as failed with reason <c>undef</c> in the test
+ log. The same goes for <c>init/end_per_group</c>. This
+ has always been a requirement according to the user's
+ guide, but now <c>common_test</c> is more explicit in the
+ report.</p> </item> <item> <p>If <c>init_per_suite</c>
+ was exported from a test suite, but not
+ <c>end_per_suite</c>, then <c>pre/post_end_per_suite</c>
+ was called with <c>Suite=ct_framework</c> instead of the
+ correct suite name. This is now corrected.</p> </item>
+ <item> <p>If <c>end_per_group</c> was exported from a
+ suite, but not <c>init_per_group</c>, then
+ <c>end_per_group</c> was never called. This is now
+ corrected.</p> </item> <item> <p>Tests that were skipped
+ before calling <c>pre_init_per_*</c> got faulty calls to
+ the corresponding <c>post_init_per_*</c>. E.g. if a test
+ was skipped because <c>suite/0</c> failed, then
+ <c>post_init_per_suite</c> would be called even though
+ <c>pre_init_per_suite</c> and <c>init_per_suite</c> were
+ not called. This is now corrected so a <c>post_*</c>
+ callback will never be called unless the corresponding
+ <c>pre_*</c> callback has been called first.</p> </item>
+ <item> <p>Tests that were skipped before or in
+ <c>init_per_testcase</c> got faulty calls to
+ <c>pre_end_per_testcase</c> and
+ <c>post_end_per_testcase</c>. This is now corrected so
+ <c>pre/post_end_per_testcase</c> are not called when
+ <c>end_per_testcase</c> is not called.</p> </item> <item>
+ <p>If an exit signal causes the test case process to die
+ while running <c>init_per_testcase</c>, the case was
+ earlier reported as failed with reason <c>{skip,...}</c>.
+ This is now corrected so the case will be marked as
+ skipped.</p> </item> <item> <p>If an exist signal causes
+ the test case process to die while running
+ <c>end_per_testcase</c>, the case was earlier marked as
+ failed. This is now corrected so the status of the test
+ case is not changed - there is only a warning added to
+ the comment field.</p> </item> <item> <p>If a test case
+ was skipped because of option
+ <c>{force_stop,skip_rest}</c> or because of a failed
+ sequence, then no <c>tc_start</c> event would be sent,
+ only <c>tc_done</c>. This is now corrected so both events
+ are sent.</p> </item> <item> <p>When skipping or failing
+ in a configuration function, the configuration function
+ itself would get <c>{auto_skipped,Reason}</c>,
+ <c>{skipped,Reason}</c> or <c>{failed,Reason}</c> in the
+ hook callbacks <c>on_tc_skip</c> or <c>on_tc_fail</c>.
+ The other test cases that were skipped as a result of
+ this would only get <c>Reason</c> in <c>on_tc_skip</c>.
+ This is now corrected so even the configuration function
+ that caused the skip/fail will only get <c>Reason</c> in
+ the hook callback.</p> </item> </list>

+ When a test case was skipped by a <c>skip_cases</c>
