This is a revamped version of X Test Suite (XTS) which removes some of the ugliness of building and running the tests. Downloading =========== Currently xts it is only available from a git repository. $ git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/xtest.git Eventually there will be a tarball release when it is stabilized. Requirements ============ Required libraries: libX11, libXext, libXi, libXtst Required utilities: xdpyinfo, xset, perl, bdftopcf, mkfontdir If you are using packages outside of the standard system directories, make sure to set PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH appropriately. See pkg-config(1) for details on the latter. Build and Install ================= The build and install are now straightforward: $ ./autogen.sh # using a git checkout $ ./configure # using a tarball $ make $ make install Running the Tests ================= The tests can be run from the build directory or from the installed package. The "make check" framework can be used from the build tree. $ make check # run all the tests $ make check scenario=XI # run just the XI test scenario $ make test-XI # shortcut for the previous A wrapper script, xts-run, is the easiest way to run the installed tests. $ xts-run # run all the tests $ xts-run XI # run just the XI test scenario By default, the test output will go to xts-results/ in the current directory. This can be changed with the xts-run -o parameter. The output contains the full journal of all test output plus individual logs for each test program. Journal files from completed runs can be analyzed by the xts-report tool (formerly vswrpt): $ xts-report -f /xts/output/dir/journal
