Common_Test 1.7.2 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ A design flaw in the generic connection handling in + Common Test made it impossible to implement a connection + handler that could map multiple connection names (i.e. + configuration variable aliases) to single connection + pids. This problem has been solved.

+ + +

+ If a telnet connection is hanging, then a call to + ct_telnet:close/1 will time out after 5 seconds and the + connection process is brutally killed. In some cases the + connection would not be unregistered and attempts at + opening a new connection with the same name would make + common_test try to reuse the same connection since it + believed that it was still alive. This has been corrected + - a killed connection is now always unregistered.

+ + +

+ Test performance has been improved by means of a cache + for the top level HTML index logs (all_runs.html and + index.html, in the logdir directory). This solves + problems with slow start up times and test execution + times increasing with the number of ct_run directories + stored in logdir. The cached index entries are stored in + RAM during test execution and are saved to file in logdir + (for faster start up times) whenever a test run finishes.

+ Testing of the test specification functionality has been + improved and a couple of minor bugs have been discovered + and corrected.

+ + +

+ Links to the top level index files in some HTML footers + had disappeared. This error has been corrected. Also, a + problem with the suite overview log file not being closed + properly has been solved.

+ Common Test would, in case of timetrap error, print a + warning in the log if end_per_testcase wasn't implemented + in the suite, even though it's an optional function. This + printout has been removed.

+ + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ If it could not be decided which test case a certain log + printout belonged to, the common test framework log was + earlier used. Such printouts are now instead sent to + unexpected_io.log.html in test_server so that there is + only one place to look for "missing" printouts.

+ Make cover smarter about finding source from beam.

+

+ In particular, search using the source path in + module_info if the current heuristic fails.

+ + +

+ Add a variant of ct_slave:start/2 that starts a node with + specified options on the local host.

+ Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas + Schultz

+

+ In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher + suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve + infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.

+

+ This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to + gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP + applications using crypto has been updated to use the new + API.

+

+ Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers + equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other + public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in + savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational + cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained + environments.

Postscript files no longer needed for the generation + of PDF files have been removed.

+ + +

+ A link is added from the red error printout in a test + case log (for a failed test case) to the full error + description at the end of the log. The reason for this is + that the error description in the red field is sometimes + truncated at 50 characters in order to keep the log as + short and easy to read as possible.

+ + +

+ A new option 'no_prompt_check' is added to + ct_telnet:expect/3. If this option is used, ct_telnet + will not wait for a prompt or a newline before attempting + to match the given pattern.
