- The absolute path canonifier was overzealously canonifying relevant
log fields, so it's no longer generally applied to diffing all
baselines. I don't think there's any logs that require local
filesystem path names that aren't already tested by a unit test,
but if any show up in the future, they can be canonified on a
case-by-case basis.
- Removed some logs from being diff'd in the diff-all script
because they're either already covered by a unit test
(load_scripts.log) or because of difficulty/maintainenance
tradeoff (prof.log).
Baselines for the external bro-testing repo still need updating.
entities.
Before, whether they did depended on libmagic. To do that,
smpt/entities.bro gets a new option `never_calc_md5`.
Also restructuring the tests a bit so that load a common
testing-setup.bro scripts that can set a global configuration.
The traces for external test-suites are no longer kept inside the
repositories themselves but downloaded separately via curl. This is
because git is pretty bad at dealing with large files.
See the README for more information.
- The Makefiles now run btest with "-f diag.log" so that diangnostics
output will always be written into that file.
- Makefiles now hardcode path to btest to avoid picking up the wrong version
if in PATH.
- The canonifier scripts now live in testing/scripts, and they are
used from both btest/ and external/.
- There's a new diff-remove-uids scripts that removed connection UIDs
for diffing. The external/* tests now use that by default.
- Timestamp removal now has its own script: diff-remove-timestamps.
diff-canonifier calls that.
- All Makefile have a "brief" target that runs btest with -b.
- The higher-level directories have Makefile to call the subdirs.
traces and more complex Bro configurations.
That's "Type 2" in the terminology of
http://www-new.bro-ids.org/devel/projects/testing.html
This leverages btest as well and will replace the set of scripts that
the old private test-suite is using. It can accomodate tests with both
public and private traces.
This is a checkpoint commmit, not much there yet in terms of actual
testing. Also still need to figure out a mechanmism to allow for
different baselines based on which branch we're testing.
