                                 ShellCommandTest

Check a shell command's output and exit code.

A 'ShellCommandTest' runs the shell and compares its standard output, standard error, and exit code with expected values. The shell may be provided with command-line arguments and/or standard input.

QMTest determines which shell to use by the following method:

If the context contains the property 'ShellCommandTest.command_shell', its value is split into an argument list and used.
Otherwise, if the '.qmrc' configuration file contains the common property 'command_shell', its value is split into an argument list and used.
Otherwise, the default shell for the target system is used.

Method Details

[hide private]

Run(self, context, result)

source code

Run the test.

'context' -- A 'Context' giving run-time parameters to the test.

'result' -- A 'Result' object. The outcome will be 'Result.PASS' when this method is called. The 'result' may be modified by this method to indicate outcomes other than 'Result.PASS' or to add annotations.

Overrides: test.Test.Run

Class Variable Details

[hide private]

arguments

A list of the arguments to the extension class.

Each element of this list should be an instance of 'Field'. The 'Field' instance describes the argument.

Derived classes may redefine this class variable. However, derived classes should not explicitly include the arguments from base classes; QMTest will automatically combine all the arguments found throughout the class hierarchy.

Value:

[qm.fields.TextField(name= "command", title= "Command", description= "
""The arguments to the shell.

            This field contains the arguments that are passed to the
            shell.  It should not contain the path to the shell itself
.
