Description

ct_master(3)               Erlang Module Definition               ct_master(3)



NAME
       ct_master - Distributed test execution control for Common Test.

DESCRIPTION
       Distributed test execution control for Common Test.

       This module exports functions for running Common Test nodes on multiple
       hosts in parallel.

EXPORTS
       abort() -> ok

              Stops all running tests.

       abort(Nodes) -> ok

              Types:

                 Nodes = atom() | [atom()]

              Stops tests on specified nodes.

       basic_html(Bool) -> ok

              Types:

                 Bool = true | false

              If set to true, the ct_master logs are written  on  a  primitive
              HTML format, not using the Common Test CSS style sheet.

       get_event_mgr_ref() -> MasterEvMgrRef

              Types:

                 MasterEvMgrRef = atom()

              Gets  a  reference  to the Common Test master event manager. The
              reference can be used to, for example, add a user-specific event
              handler while tests are running.

              Example:

               gen_event:add_handler(ct_master:get_event_mgr_ref(), my_ev_h, [])

       progress() -> [{Node, Status}]

              Types:

                 Node = atom()
                 Status = finished_ok | ongoing | aborted | {error, Reason}
                 Reason = term()

              Returns  test  progress. If Status is ongoing, tests are running
              on the node and are not yet finished.

       run(TestSpecs) -> ok

              Types:

                 TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]

              Equivalent to ct_master:run(TestSpecs, false, [], []).

       run(TestSpecs, InclNodes, ExclNodes) -> ok

              Types:

                 TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
                 SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
                 InclNodes = [atom()]
                 ExclNodes = [atom()]

              Equivalent to ct_master:run(TestSpecs, false, InclNodes,  ExclN-
              odes).

       run(TestSpecs, AllowUserTerms, InclNodes, ExclNodes) -> ok

              Types:

                 TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
                 SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
                 AllowUserTerms = bool()
                 InclNodes = [atom()]
                 ExclNodes = [atom()]

              Tests  are  spawned on the nodes as specified in TestSpecs. Each
              specification in TestSpec is handled separately. However, it  is
              also  possible  to specify a list of specifications to be merged
              into one specification before the tests are executed.  Any  test
              without  a particular node specification is also executed on the
              nodes in InclNodes. Nodes in the  ExclNodes  list  are  excluded
              from the test.

       run_on_node(TestSpecs, Node) -> ok

              Types:

                 TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
                 SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
                 Node = atom()

              Equivalent to ct_master:run_on_node(TestSpecs, false, Node).

       run_on_node(TestSpecs, AllowUserTerms, Node) -> ok

              Types:

                 TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
                 SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
                 AllowUserTerms = bool()
                 Node = atom()

              Tests are spawned on Node according to TestSpecs.

       run_test(Node, Opts) -> ok

              Types:

                 Node = atom()
                 Opts = [OptTuples]
                 OptTuples  =  {config,  CfgFiles} | {dir, TestDirs} | {suite,
                 Suites}  |  {testcase,   Cases}   |   {spec,   TestSpecs}   |
                 {allow_user_terms, Bool} | {logdir, LogDir} | {event_handler,
                 EventHandlers} | {silent_connections, Conns} | {cover, Cover-
                 SpecFile} | {cover_stop, Bool} | {userconfig, UserCfgFiles}
                 CfgFiles = string() | [string()]
                 TestDirs = string() | [string()]
                 Suites = atom() | [atom()]
                 Cases = atom() | [atom()]
                 TestSpecs = string() | [string()]
                 LogDir = string()
                 EventHandlers = EH | [EH]
                 EH = atom() | {atom(), InitArgs} | {[atom()], InitArgs}
                 InitArgs = [term()]
                 Conns = all | [atom()]

              Tests are spawned on Node using ct:run_test/1
