Has anyone used the Erlang Test Server that can be found at:
http://www.erlang.org/project/test_server/
If so how have you set it up ?
The documentation follows good'ol OTP standard (i.e terse and cumbersome).
Perhaps a little HowTo, showing how to make practical use of it, would be
a good idea.
For example, if I have my system laid out like: X/lib/<app>/src, X/lib/<app>/ebin, X/lib/<app>/test , etc... Now it is easy to put my xxx_SUITE.erl files in the various
test directories, and write a little shellscript that moves them into a separate
testroot dir where the ETS (Erlang Test Server) lives.
My system is started as X/bin/start.sh.
Now, how can I get the ETS to execute the testcases in my system node ?
Cheers, Tobbe |

I have followed the README and I have successfully been running the stdlib test suite. But I want to run the test cases in my system (node).
So I have the test_server installed as:
Code:
testroot/test_server
then I have produced my own test suite to be put at:
from the testroot/test_server directory I start my system in interactive mode:
Code:
some-path-here/bin/start -i
From the Erlang shell I then run:
Code:
ts:install().
ts:tests(). % returns: [site]
ts:run(site).
The last command (ts:run/1) starts a new node and tries to call my test cases.
So either I want to have ts:run/ to run in my system node or I want to tell the
new node to do rpc'c to my system node. So how can I do this ?

If you want to run your test code in a system node, I guess you could have a test suite 'start' clause start your system up and the subsequent cases run your tests - but that would maybe change the system too much to be possible?
I use the test server for blackbox testing, where I have a number of emulators to provide input to the tested system. |

| Test server cannot (AFAIK) test embedded releases (started with a boot script). We modified it so that you can pass it a specific set of boot parameters and then test against that running release |

Ok, I thought there were some clever ways of configuring the test server that I could do.
If any OTP people is reading this: would it be ok to put the Test Server in jungerl if I make some enhancements of general interest to it ?
