Alan Coopersmith cccba52d15 Abort xi2 tests if ActivateDevice() fails I was getting segfaults in xi2 tests from trying to copy XKB keyboard state to NULL pointers with a stack of: key=key@entry=0) at xkbActions.c:1189 sendevent=sendevent@entry=0 '\000') at devices.c:420 at protocol-xiquerydevice.c:338 which turned out to be due to xkbcomp failure, which was logged in the test logs as: XKB: Failed to compile keymap Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config. but which was overlooked because the ActivateDevice() return code wasn't checked and the tests went forward assuming the structures were all correctly initialized. This catches the failure closer to the point of failure, to save debugging time.

                        X server test suite

This suite contains a set of tests to verify the behaviour of functions used
internally to the server. This test suite is based on glib's testing
framework [1].

= How it works =
Through some automake abuse, we link the test programs with the same static
libraries as the Xorg binary. The test suites can then call various functions
and verify their behaviour - without the need to start the server or connect
clients.

This testing only works for functions that do not rely on a particular state
of the X server. Unless the test suite replicates the expected state, which
may be difficult.

= How to run the tests =
Run "make check" the test directory. This will compile the tests and execute
them in the order specified in the TESTS variable in test/Makefile.am.

Each set of tests related to a subsystem are available as a binary that can be
executed directly. For example, run "xkb" to perform some xkb-related tests.

== Adding a new test ==
When adding a new test, ensure that you add a short description of what the
test does and what the expected outcome is. If the test reproduces a
particular bug, using g_test_bug().

== Misc ==

The programs "gtester" and "gtester-report" may be used to generate XML/HTML
log files of tests succeeded and failed.
