Detailed Description

Execute an example program as a test, by comparing the output to a reference file.

User can subclass and override the GetCommandTemplate and GetPostProcessingCommand methods if more complex example invocation patterns are required.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ExampleAsTestCase()

ns3::ExampleAsTestCase::ExampleAsTestCase	(	const std::string	name,
		const std::string	program,
		const std::string	dataDir,
		const std::string	args = ""
	)

Constructor.

Parameters

[in]	name	The test case name, typically the program name and summary of the arguments, such as my-example-foo
[in]	program	The actual example program names, such as my-example
[in]	dataDir	The location of the reference file. This is normally provided by the symbol NS_TEST_SOURCEDIR in the module-examples-test-suite.cc file. The reference file should be named after the test case name, for example my-example-foo.log. If you use the --update argument to test.py or test-runner the reference file will be created with the correct name.
[in]	args	Any additional arguments to the program.

~ExampleAsTestCase()

virtual ns3::ExampleAsTestCase::~ExampleAsTestCase ( void  )

virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

DoRun()

virtual void ns3::ExampleAsTestCase::DoRun ( void  )

virtual

Implementation to actually run this TestCase.

Subclasses should override this method to conduct their tests.

Implements ns3::TestCase.

GetCommandTemplate()

virtual std::string ns3::ExampleAsTestCase::GetCommandTemplate ( void  ) const

virtual

Customization point for more complicated patterns to invoke the example program.

Returns

The string to be given to the waf --command-template= argument.

GetPostProcessingCommand()

virtual std::string ns3::ExampleAsTestCase::GetPostProcessingCommand ( void  ) const

virtual

Customization point for tests requiring post-processing of stdout.

For example to sort return "| sort"

Default is "", no processing step.

Returns

The string of post-processing commands

Reimplemented in ns3::tests::CommandLineExampleTestCase.
