Changes in version 0.21
Released on October 23rd, 2014.
- Restored the atf(7) manual page to serve as a reference to all the other
manual pages shipped by ATF. - Added the -s flag to atf-sh to support specifying the shell interpreter
to be used. - Removed ATF_WORKDIR. The only remaining consumers have been converted to
use the standard TMPDIR environment variable. As a benefit, and because
Kyua forces the TMPDIR to live within the test case's work directory,
any stale files left behind by ATF will be automatically cleaned up. - Documented the environment variables recognized by each component in the
relevant manual pages. This information was lost with the atf-config(1)
removal. - Added a new "require.diskspace" metadata property to test cases so that
they can specify the minimum amount of disk space required for the test
to run. - Renamed the atf-{c,c++,sh}-api(3) manual pages to atf-{c,c++,sh}(3) for
discoverability purposes. Symbolic links are provided for the time
being to still make the old names visible. - Issue #5: Recommend the (expected, actual) idiom for calls to the test
macros in the manual pages. - Issue #7: Stopped catching unhandled exceptions in atf-c++ tests. This
propagates the crash to the caller, which in turn allows it to obtain
proper debugging information. In particular, Kyua should now be able to
extract a stacktrace pinpointing the problem. - Issue #8: Fixed atf-c/macros_test:use test failures spotted by the clang
that ships with FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT. - Issue #12: Improved documentation of atf-sh(3) and atf-check(1) by better
explaining how they relate to each other. - Issue #14: Stopped setting 'set -e' in atf-sh. This setting was
initially added as a way to enable a "strict" mode in the library and to
make test cases fail fast when they run unprotected commands. However,
doing so in the library is surprising as the responsibility of enabling
'set -e' should be on the user's code. Also, 'set -e' introduces
inconsistent behavior on subshells and users do not expect that. - Issue #15: Fixed atf_utils_{fork,wait} to support nested calls.
- Issue #16: Fixed test failures (by removing a long-standing hack) on
systems that lack \e support in printf(1). - Issue #19: Removed stale references to atf-config and atf-run.
