confman

This is an incomplete list of the things that should be tested before rolling a release. When the actual testing occurs, it would be nice to capture the commands and eventually turn that into a self-test suite.

setup

• When working copy does not exist
• When working copy does exist
  • If you say no to removing it first, does it exit without removing things?
  • If you say yes, do you get a fresh working copy?
• When repository does not exist
  • Is error sane?

create

• confman create core
  • Are directories core, checkpoints/core created and checked in?

recipe

• confman recipe create test
  • try:

    # this module exists
    core
    # but this one doesn't
    test
    

  • it should error out
• confman create test
• confman recipe create test
  • try:

    # comments are ignored
    core
    # this exists now
    test
    

• file meta/recipes/test should be created and checked in

• confman recipe print test
  • you should see the contents of test
• confman recipe create doomed
  • put only core in here
• confman recipe list
  • you should see doomed and test
• confman recipe set doomed
• confman recipe get
  • you should see doomed
• confman recipe edit doomed
  • add test to the recipe
  • this should be committed to svn
• confman recipe print doomed
  • make sure it reflects the addition of test
• confman recipe set test
• confman recipe get
  • you should see test
• confman recipe remove doomed
  • file meta/recipes/doomed should be deleted and the change should be committed to svn
• confman recipe set doomed
  • error should be sane for non-existent recipe

update

All of these should update your whole working copy:

• When in working copy root
• When in a working copy subdirectory
• When not in working copy

commit

• With no recipe defined
  • Is error sane?
• With modules in recipe that don't exist
  • Is error sane?
• With one module
• With two modules
• With two modules and overlapping files
• With three modules
• With three modules and overlapping files
• With uncommitted changes to one module in the working copy
• With uncommitted changes to two modules in the working copy
• With a different (alternate user, homedir, host, etc.) working copy that is now out-of-date
• With a different (alternate user, homedir, host, etc.) working copy that now has conflicts

confadmin

help

• confadmin -h
• confadmin help
• confadmin -h setup
• confadmin help setup

setup

• Point confman.conf to a blank repository
• confadmin setup
  • Should commit a revision
  • Can you confman setup to check it out?
• confadmin setup
  • Should error out, because repository already exists
• Point confman.conf to a blank repository
  • emulate a confman 1.5 repository: svn mkdir --parents trunk/checkpoints
  • should error out, because the repository already exists (this case requires manual migration right now -- wiki to provide types and script examples)
