Test-suite

Pre Installation

The test suite is available via svn

%svn co svn+ssh://username@qeforge.qe-forge.org/svnroot/yambo-tests/test-suite ./test-suite

Remember to change username with your username.

After the cehckout the first thing to do is the configure

%cd test-suite
%./configure --with-yambo=/home/marini/Yambo/yambo/master/

If the configuration works you should see the following messages:

%./configure --with-yambo=/home/marini/Yambo/yambo/master/
%checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
%checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
%checking the anomaly.mlib.ism.cnr.it ROBOT... created
%checking for nccopy... no
%checking for ncftp... ncftp
%checking for ncftpls... ncftpls
%checking for ncftpput... ncftpput
%checking for awk... awk

%checking the Yambo source... /home/marini/Yambo/yambo/master/
%configure: creating ./config.status
%config.status: creating config/MODULES.pl
%config.status: creating config/TOOLS.pl

Databases download

Now it is time to download all databases. This can be easily done using the -b option

%./driver.pl -d all

Quick Testing

%./driver.pl -autotest

If everything works you should see as log the following message

The 5 passes are important as they represent the number of passed tests.

Reports & Logs

The autotest and any other run of the test-suite produces three files. Each file is labelled with the date of the run.

In order to see the meaning and the in formations written in the files let's do a quick run of a Dummy test created in order to reproduce some of the possible error conditions.

Let's first clean the suite

%./driver.pl -c

Then

Crontab

The test-suite can be run using the crontab daemon.

-------
35 23  * * * ~/bin/scripts/yambo_validation.tcsh >> /home/marini/Yambo/sources/svn/yambo-tests/test-suite 2>&1

with yambo_validation.tcsh a simple script:
