Test_Server 3.6 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ Line numbering of erlang files that were not correctly + indented could be wrong after coverting to html with + erl2html2:convert/[2,3] (the source code pointed to from + the test case). This has been corrected.

+

+ Also, there are now link targets for each line and not + only for each 10th line, and link targets for functions + now include the arity and not only the function name + (e.g. func/1 has a link target "func-1").

+ + +

+ Severe errors detected by test_server (e.g. if log + files directories cannot be created) will now be reported + to common_test and noted in the common_test + logs.

+ + +

+ The earlier undocumented cross cover feature for + accumulating cover data over multiple tests has now been + fixed and documented.

+ + +

+ If the test suite itself was included in code coverage + analysis, then the test_server would not manage to set + data_dir correctly for the test. This has been corrected.

+ + +

+ Any call to test_server:break/1 should cancel all active + timetramps. However, in some cases + Suite:end_per_testcase/2 is executed on a different + process than the test case itself, and if + test_server:break/1 was called from there, the timetraps + were not cancelled. This has been corrected.

+ + +

When a test case failed because of a timetrap time + out, the Config data for the case was lost in the + following call to end_per_testcase/2, and also in + calls to the CT Hook function + post_end_per_testcase/4. This problem has been + solved and the Config data is now correctly passed + to the above functions after a timetrap timeout + failure.

In test_server, the same process would supervise the + currently running test case and be group leader (and IO + server) for the test case. Furthermore, when running + parallel test cases, new temporary supervisor/group + leader processes were spawned and the process that was + group leader for sequential test cases would not be + active. That would lead to several problems:

+

* Processes started by init_per_suite will inherit the + group leader of the init_per_suite process (and that + group leader would not process IO requests when parallel + test cases was running). If later a parallel test case + caused such a processto print using (for example) + io:format/2, the calling would hang.

+

* Similarly, if a process was spawned from a parallel + test case, it would inherit the temporary group leader + for that parallel test case. If that spawned process + later - when the group of parallel tests have finished - + attempted to print something, its group leader would be + dead and there would be badarg exception.

+

Those problems have been solved by having group + leaders separate from the processes that supervises the + test cases, and keeping temporary group leader process + for parallel test cases alive until no more process in + the system use them as group leaders.

+

Also, a new unexpected_io.log log file + (reachable from the summary page of each test suite) has + been introduced. All unexpected IO will be printed into + it(for example, IO to a group leader for a parallel test + case that has finished).

+ The stability of common_test and + test_server when running test cases in parallel + has been improved.

+ + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ Added a general framework for executing benchmarks of + Erlang/OTP. Benchmarks for the Erlang VM and mnesia have + been incorporated in the framework.

+

+ For details about how to add more benchmarks see + $ERL_TOP/HOWTO/BENCHMARKS.md in the source distribution.

+ + +

+ Update common test modules to handle unicode + Use UTF-8 encoding for all HTML files, except the + HTML version of the test suite generated with + erl2html2:convert, which will have the same encoding as + the original test suite (.erl) file. + Encode link targets in HTML files with + test_server_ctrl:uri_encode/1. Use unicode + modifier 't' with ~s when appropriate. Use + unicode:characters_to_list and + unicode:characters_to_binary for conversion between + binaries and strings instead of binary_to_list and + list_to_binary.
