AUGPARSE(1) Augeas AUGPARSE(1)NAMEaugparse - execute an Augeas module
SYNOPSISaugparse [OPTIONS] MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Execute an Augeas module, most commonly to evaluate the tests it
contains.
OPTIONS-I, --include=DIR
Add DIR to the module loadpath. Can be given multiple times. The
directories set here are searched before any directories specified
in the AUGEAS_LENS_LIB environment variable, and before the default
directory /usr/share/augeas/lenses.
-t, --trace
Print a trace of the modules that are being loaded.
--nostdinc
Do not search any of the default directories for modules. When this
option is set, only directories specified explicitly with -I or
specified in AUGEAS_LENS_LIB will be searched for modules.
--notypecheck
Do not perform lens type checks. Only use this option during lens
development and make sure you typecheck lenses when you are done
developing - you should never use a lens that hasn't been
typechecked. This option is sometimes useful when you are working
on unit tests for a lens to speed up the time it takes to
repeatedly run and fix tests.
--version
Print version information and exit.
-h Display this help and exit
EXAMPLES
To run the tests in lenses/tests/test_foo.aug and use modules from the
directory lenses, run
augparse-I lenses lenses/tests/test_foo.aug
TESTS
Tests can appear as top-level forms anywhere in a module. Generally,
the tests for a module lenses/foo.aug are kept in a separate file,
usually in lenses/tests/test_foo.aug.
There are two different kinds of tests that Augeas can run: get and put
tests. The syntax for get tests is
test LENS get STRING = RESULT
which applies the get direction of the lens LENS to STRING and compares
it with the given RESULT. RESULT can either be a tree literal, the
symbol ? to print the result of applying LENS to STRING, or the symbol
* to indicate that the test should produce an exception.
The syntax for put tests is
test LENS put STRING after COMMANDS = RESULT
which first applies the get direction of the lens LENS to STRING, then
applies the given COMMANDS to the resulting tree, and finally
transforms the modified tree back to a string using the put direction
of LENS. The resulting string is then compared to RESULT, which can be
a string, the symbol ? to print the result of applying LENS to STRING,
or the symbol * to indicate that the test should produce an exception.
