Running unit tests
</H2>
ClamAV includes unit tests that allow you to test that the compiled binaries work correctly on your platform. |
| 73e034df |
<P> |
| e79e504d |
The first step is to use your OS's package manager to install the <code>check</code> package.
If your OS doesn't have that package, you can download it from <TT><A NAME="tex2html11"
HREF="http://check.sourceforge.net/">http://check.sourceforge.net/</A></TT>,
build it and install it.
<P>
To help clamav's configure script locate <code>check</code>, it is recommended that you install <code>pkg-config</code>, preferably
using your OS's package manager, or from <TT><A NAME="tex2html12"
HREF="http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org">http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org</A></TT>.
<P>
The recommended way to run unit-tests is the following, which ensures you will get an error if unit tests cannot be built:
<A NAME="tex2html13"
HREF="footnode.html#foot165"><SUP><SPAN CLASS="arabic">7</SPAN></SUP></A> <PRE>
$ ./configure --enable-check
$ make
$ make check
</PRE>
<P>
When <code>make check</code> is finished, you should get a message similar to this:
<PRE>
==================
All 8 tests passed
==================
</PRE>
<P>
If a unit test fails, you get a message similar to the following.
See the next section on how to report a bug when a unit test fails.
<PRE>
========================================
1 of 8 tests failed
Please report to http://bugs.clamav.net/
========================================
</PRE>
<P>
If unit tests are disabled (and you didn't use -enable-check), you will get this message:
<PRE>
*** Unit tests disabled in this build
*** Use ./configure --enable-check to enable them
SKIP: check_clamav
PASS: check_clamd.sh
PASS: check_freshclam.sh
PASS: check_sigtool.sh
PASS: check_clamscan.sh
======================
All 4 tests passed
(1 tests were not run)
======================
</PRE>
Running <code>./configure --enable-check</code> should tell you why.
