NAME
ct_run - Program used for starting Common Test from the
OS command line.
DESCRIPTION
The ct_run program is automatically installed with Erlang/OTP and Com-
mon Test (please see the Installation chapter in the Common Test User's
Guide for more information). The program accepts a number of different
start flags. Some flags trigger ct_run to start the Common Test appli-
cation and pass on data to it. Some flags start an Erlang node prepared
for running Common Test in a particular mode.
There is an interface function that corresponds to this program, called
ct:run_test/1, for starting Common Test from the Erlang shell (or an
Erlang program). Please see the ct man page for details.
ct_run also accepts Erlang emulator flags. These are used when ct_run
calls erl to start the Erlang node (making it possible to e.g. add
directories to the code server path, change the cookie on the node,
start additional applications, etc).
With the optional flag:
-erl_args
it's possible to divide the options on the ct_run command line into two
groups, one that Common Test should process (those preceding
-erl_args), and one it should completely ignore and pass on directly to
the emulator (those following -erl_args). Options preceding -erl_args
that Common Test doesn't recognize, also get passed on to the emulator
untouched. By means of -erl_args the user may specify flags with the
same name, but with different destinations, on the ct_run command line.
If -pa or -pz flags are specified in the Common Test group of options
(preceding -erl_args), relative directories will be converted to abso-
lute and re-inserted into the code path by Common Test (to avoid prob-
lems loading user modules when Common Test changes working directory
during test runs). Common Test will however ignore -pa and -pz flags
following -erl_args on the command line. These directories are added to
the code path normally (i.e. on specified form)
Exit status is set before the program ends. Value 0 indicates a suc-
cessful test result, 1 indicates one or more failed or auto-skipped
test cases, and 2 indicates test execution failure.
If ct_run is called with option:
-help
it prints all valid start flags to stdout.
