NAME

testd - watch for tests needing running and run them

VERSION

version 0.001

USAGE

testd

Requires that you have a configured autodiscover value in your ~/elastest.conf.

You can also control behavior via the [testd] section:

[testd]
no_daemon=1
max_workers=3
[queue]
granularity=5

The above configuration would run without daemonizing, 3 workers and 5 tests at a time per worker (max).

When testd is finished running all the available tests for a given configuration, it would be inefficient to simply wait however long it takes for new jobs to come in.

As such it accepts provisioner classes in your ~/elastest.conf, and will attempt to provision the machine to satisfy the jobs available. For example:

[client]
provisioner=Git,Perl
[provisioner]
branch=master

Would tell testd it can:

Pull to the latest version of code to satisfy test plans of versions that currently cannot be satisfied.
Install and use a different version of perl via perlbrew to satisfy plans with platforms that cannot currently be satisfied.

Similarly, it can run tests differently by providing a different runner class in your ~/elastest.conf:

[client]
runner=Karma
[runner]
args=-j2

By default prove is used as the runner.

SUBROUTINES

main

Runs the program and parses arguments.

try_to_provision(@provisioners)

Figure out if there are any new jobs we can't currently satisfy, and then if we can provision to satisfy the job.

Then actually do the provisioning.

worker($conf,$queue)

The worker process, which will grab some jobs and then run them. The caller should fork before executing this.

daemonify

I am purposely not having a PID file, logging or any other facilities you can get with start-stop-daemon. A service file will be provided in /service.
