1Overview. 2 3$ ./configure && make tests 4 5You'll see some progress info. A failure will cause either the make to 6abort or the driver script to report a "FATAL" failure. 7 8The test consists of 2 parts. The first is the file-based tests which is 9driven by the Makefile, and the second is a set of network or proxycommand 10based tests, which are driven by a driver script (test-exec.sh) which is 11called multiple times by the Makefile. 12 13Failures in the first part will cause the Makefile to return an error. 14Failures in the second part will print a "FATAL" message for the failed 15test and continue. 16 17OpenBSD has a system-wide regression test suite. OpenSSH Portable's test 18suite is based on OpenBSD's with modifications. 19 20 21Environment variables. 22 23SUDO: path to sudo command, if desired. Note that some systems (notably 24 systems using PAM) require sudo to execute some tests. 25TEST_SSH_TRACE: set to "yes" for verbose output from tests 26TEST_SSH_QUIET: set to "yes" to suppress non-fatal output. 27TEST_SSH_x: path to "ssh" command under test, where x=SSH,SSHD,SSHAGENT,SSHADD 28 SSHKEYGEN,SSHKEYSCAN,SFTP,SFTPSERVER 29OBJ: used by test scripts to access build dir. 30TEST_SHELL: shell used for running the test scripts. 31TEST_SSH_PORT: TCP port to be used for the listening tests. 32TEST_SSH_SSH_CONFOPTS: Configuration directives to be added to ssh_config 33 before running each test. 34TEST_SSH_SSHD_CONFOTPS: Configuration directives to be added to sshd_config 35 before running each test. 36 37 38Individual tests. 39 40You can run an individual test from the top-level Makefile, eg: 41$ make tests LTESTS=agent-timeout 42 43If you need to manipulate the environment more you can invoke test-exec.sh 44directly if you set up the path to find the binaries under test and the 45test scripts themselves, for example: 46 47$ cd regress 48$ PATH=`pwd`/..:$PATH:. TEST_SHELL=/bin/sh sh test-exec.sh `pwd` \ 49 agent-timeout.sh 50ok agent timeout test 51 52 53Files. 54 55test-exec.sh: the main test driver. Sets environment, creates config files 56and keys and runs the specified test. 57 58At the time of writing, the individual tests are: 59agent-timeout.sh: agent timeout test 60agent.sh: simple agent test 61broken-pipe.sh: broken pipe test 62connect-privsep.sh: proxy connect with privsep 63connect.sh: simple connect 64exit-status.sh: remote exit status 65forwarding.sh: local and remote forwarding 66keygen-change.sh: change passphrase for key 67keyscan.sh: keyscan 68proto-mismatch.sh: protocol version mismatch 69proto-version.sh: sshd version with different protocol combinations 70proxy-connect.sh: proxy connect 71sftp.sh: basic sftp put/get 72ssh-com-client.sh: connect with ssh.com client 73ssh-com-keygen.sh: ssh.com key import 74ssh-com-sftp.sh: basic sftp put/get with ssh.com server 75ssh-com.sh: connect to ssh.com server 76stderr-after-eof.sh: stderr data after eof 77stderr-data.sh: stderr data transfer 78transfer.sh: transfer data 79try-ciphers.sh: try ciphers 80yes-head.sh: yes pipe head 81 82 83Problems? 84 85Run the failing test with shell tracing (-x) turned on: 86$ PATH=`pwd`/..:$PATH:. sh -x test-exec.sh `pwd` agent-timeout.sh 87 88Failed tests can be difficult to diagnose. Suggestions: 89- run the individual test via ./test-exec.sh `pwd` [testname] 90- set LogLevel to VERBOSE in test-exec.sh and enable syslogging of 91 auth.debug (eg to /var/log/authlog). 92 93 94Known Issues. 95 96- Similarly, if you do not have "scp" in your system's $PATH then the 97 multiplex scp tests will fail (since the system's shell startup scripts 98 will determine where the shell started by sshd will look for scp). 99 100- Recent GNU coreutils deprecate "head -[n]": this will cause the yes-head 101 test to fail. The old behaviour can be restored by setting (and 102 exporting) _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 before running the tests. 103 104$Id: README.regress,v 1.12 2011/05/05 03:48:42 djm Exp $ 105
