Running under valgrind enforces --no-fork so any signal will cause valgrind
to error out, failing the test abnormally. This prevents us from running
our test suite through valgrind, we'd have to mark every test specifically
whether it should run under valgrind or not.
Easier is just to automatically skip tests expecting signals.
If we don't have the capability to ptrace, we are probably running inside a
container, not the debugger. Check this first so we don't disable forking
mode.
Make this conditional on libcap - where libcap is not available always assume
we *do not* have a debugger attached. This is easier than telling everyone who
runs the tests in a confined system to install libcap.
Fixes#1285
Having a helper aids with the file being in the right directory and cleaned up
automatically on exit. Plus, failing the test with the sytem error status code
signals that it's not the actual test failing here.
Helper function to load a SPA interface. This enables a test to easily load a
specific interface and run tests against that interface without having to
instantiate a whole pipewire daemon.
On startup, create /tmp/pwtest-$TIME-$RANDOM/ and give each test an
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and TMPDIR inside that (simply numerically numbered). This
avoids the tests interfering with the system like accidentally connecting to
the real pipewire instance or trying to create files where they shouldn't.
Heavily inspired by libinput's litest framework (built around check), this is
a from-scratch framework that simplifies adding tests for various parts of
pipewire. See the pwtest.h documentation for details but the basics are:
- PW_TEST() and PWTEST_SUITE() specify the tests to be run
- Test are run in forked processes, any errors/signals are caught and printed
to the log
- Tests have a custom pipewire daemon started on demand to talk to [1]. The
daemon's log is available in the test output.
- Output is YAML to be processed into whatever format needed
[1] There are limits here, since we can't emulate devices yet there is only
so much we can rely on with the daemon.
