Running the VOMS core test suite

Prerequisites

The VOMS core test suite is strictly bound to the VOMS compilation process, so, in order to run it, you need to have all the build-time dependencies needed to compile VOMS core with the addition of dejagnu.

Running the testsuite as a normal user

These instructions provide insight on how the VOMS testsuite can be run without root privileges. Let's say that

/home/ceccanti/voms-installation

will be the installation root for your VOMS installation. You need to configure voms and the database backend plugin that you will be using (e.g., voms-mysql-plugin) so that they point to the above installation root.

Checkout VOMS source code

git clone git://github.com/italiangrid/voms.git
git checkout <THE_VOMS_TAG_TO_BE_TESTED>

Checkout VOMS mysql plugin source code

git clone git://github.com/italiangrid/voms-mysql-plugin.git
git checkout <THE_VOMS_TAG_TO_BE_TESTED>

Configure the VOMS build

cd <voms-source-directory>
./autogen.sh
./configure --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu \
    --target=x86_64-redhat-linux \
    --program-prefix= \
    --prefix=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr \
    --exec-prefix=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr \
    --bindir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/bin \
    --sbindir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/sbin \
    --sysconfdir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/etc \
    --datadir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/share \
    --includedir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/include \
    --libdir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/lib64 \
    --libexecdir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/libexec \
    --localstatedir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/var \
    --sharedstatedir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/com \
    --mandir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/share/man \
    --infodir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/share/info \
    --with-vomsuser='' \
    --with-dbuser=root \
    --with-dbpwd=pwd \
    --with-mysqlconf=/etc/my.cnf \
    --with-report-dir=/tmp/voms-reports \
    --with-scratch-dir=/tmp/voms-scratch

Compile and install VOMS server code

cd <voms-source-directory>
make
make install

Configure the VOMS Mysql Plugin build

The configuration for the VOMS oracle plugin is equivalent.

cd <voms-mysql-plugin-source-directory>
./autogen.sh
./configure --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu \
    --target=x86_64-redhat-linux \
    --program-prefix= \
    --prefix=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr \
    --exec-prefix=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr \
    --bindir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/bin \
    --sbindir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/sbin \
    --sysconfdir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/etc \
    --datadir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/share \
    --includedir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/include \
    --libdir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/lib64 \
    --libexecdir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/libexec \
    --localstatedir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/var \
    --sharedstatedir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/com \
    --mandir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/share/man \
    --infodir=/home/ceccanti/voms-installation/usr/share/info

Compile and install VOMS MySQL plugin

cd <voms-mysql-plugin-source-directory>
make
make install

Running the testsuite

Before running the testsuite make sure that you create by hand the scratch dir created by the voms testsuite. The directory is the same that you specified in the --with-scratch-dir opion when configuring the voms build. For example:

mkdir /tmp/voms-scratch

Now you can run the testsuite:

cd <voms-source-directory>
make check

The output of the execution of the testsuite can be found in the directory specified with the --with-report-dir option at configuration time. It is composed of an index.html file containing the summary of the test execution.
