GlusterFS source contains some functional tests undertests/directory. All
these tests are run against every patch submitted for review. If you want your
patch to be tested, please add a.ttest file as part of your patch submission.
You can also submit a patch to only add a.tfile for the test case you are
aware of.
To run these tests, on your test-machine, just run./run-tests.sh.Don't run
this on a machine where you have 'production' glusterfs is running, as it would
blindly kill all gluster processes in each runs.
If you are sending a patch, and want to validate one or few specific tests, then run a single test by running the below command.
bash# /bin/bash ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
You can also useprovetool if available in your machine, as follows.
bash# prove -vmfe '/bin/bash' ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
