Tutorial:Tests

From Diracwiki

It is very important that you verify that your DIRAC installation correctly reproduces the reference test set before running production calculations.

To get documentation on the test set, run:

./runtest --help

As a starter try the quick test that covers most of the standard run types:

./runtest --quick

If everything goes well the script will report calculations completed and provide a summary:

 summary:   114 ok

 total time: 00h03m42s

If there is a problem the script will report that one or more tests failed (wrong output) or crashed (execution error). To learn more go to the directory logs where you will find a text file *.txt with a short summary of the test that failed. More importantly, there will be a html-file *.htm to be opened in a browser. Selected parts of your output are compared to the reference output found in the result subdirectory of your test and a coloring scheme in the html-file will indicate where things go wrong.

Once you have identified the source of the problem, you may rerun individual tests with:

./runtest --tests="test1 test2"

where test1 and test2 should be replaced by the name(s) of the test(s) that you want to rerun: When everything seems fine try also the complete test set:

./runtest --all
