3 $ ./configure && make tests
5 You'll see some progress info. A failure will cause either the make to
6 abort or the driver script to report a "FATAL" failure.
8 The test consists of 2 parts. The first is the file-based tests which is
9 driven by the Makefile, and the second is a set of network or proxycommand
10 based tests, which are driven by a driver script (test-exec.sh) which is
11 called multiple times by the Makefile.
13 Failures in the first part will cause the Makefile to return an error.
14 Failures in the second part will print a "FATAL" message for the failed
17 OpenBSD has a system-wide regression test suite. OpenSSH Portable's test
18 suite is based on OpenBSD's with modifications.
21 Environment variables.
23 SUDO: path to sudo command, if desired. Note that some systems (notably
24 systems using PAM) require sudo to execute some tests.
25 TEST_SSH_TRACE: set to "yes" for verbose output from tests
26 TEST_SSH_QUIET: set to "yes" to suppress non-fatal output.
27 TEST_SSH_x: path to "ssh" command under test, where x=SSH,SSHD,SSHAGENT,SSHADD
28 SSHKEYGEN,SSHKEYSCAN,SFTP,SFTPSERVER
29 OBJ: used by test scripts to access build dir.
30 TEST_SHELL: shell used for running the test scripts.
31 TEST_SSH_PORT: TCP port to be used for the listening tests.
32 TEST_SSH_SSH_CONFOTPS: Configuration directives to be added to ssh_config
33 before running each test.
34 TEST_SSH_SSHD_CONFOTPS: Configuration directives to be added to sshd_config
35 before running each test.
40 You can run an individual test from the top-level Makefile, eg:
41 $ make tests LTESTS=agent-timeout
43 If you need to manipulate the environment more you can invoke test-exec.sh
44 directly if you set up the path to find the binaries under test and the
45 test scripts themselves, for example:
48 $ PATH=`pwd`/..:$PATH:. TEST_SHELL=/bin/sh sh test-exec.sh `pwd` \
55 test-exec.sh: the main test driver. Sets environment, creates config files
56 and keys and runs the specified test.
58 At the time of writing, the individual tests are:
59 agent-timeout.sh: agent timeout test
60 agent.sh: simple agent test
61 broken-pipe.sh: broken pipe test
62 connect-privsep.sh: proxy connect with privsep
63 connect.sh: simple connect
64 exit-status.sh: remote exit status
65 forwarding.sh: local and remote forwarding
66 keygen-change.sh: change passphrase for key
68 proto-mismatch.sh: protocol version mismatch
69 proto-version.sh: sshd version with different protocol combinations
70 proxy-connect.sh: proxy connect
71 sftp.sh: basic sftp put/get
72 ssh-com-client.sh: connect with ssh.com client
73 ssh-com-keygen.sh: ssh.com key import
74 ssh-com-sftp.sh: basic sftp put/get with ssh.com server
75 ssh-com.sh: connect to ssh.com server
76 stderr-after-eof.sh: stderr data after eof
77 stderr-data.sh: stderr data transfer
78 transfer.sh: transfer data
79 try-ciphers.sh: try ciphers
80 yes-head.sh: yes pipe head
85 Run the failing test with shell tracing (-x) turned on:
86 $ PATH=`pwd`/..:$PATH:. sh -x test-exec.sh `pwd` agent-timeout.sh
88 Failed tests can be difficult to diagnose. Suggestions:
89 - run the individual test via ./test-exec.sh `pwd` [testname]
90 - set LogLevel to VERBOSE in test-exec.sh and enable syslogging of
91 auth.debug (eg to /var/log/authlog).
96 - If your build requires ssh-rand-helper regress tests will fail
97 unless ssh-rand-helper is in pre-installed (the path to
98 ssh-rand-helper is hard coded).
100 - Similarly, if you do not have "scp" in your system's $PATH then the
101 multiplex scp tests will fail (since the system's shell startup scripts
102 will determine where the shell started by sshd will look for scp).
104 - Recent GNU coreutils deprecate "head -[n]": this will cause the yes-head
105 test to fail. The old behaviour can be restored by setting (and
106 exporting) _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 before running the tests.
