AXIOM(1)

✨ AXIOM(1) — General Commands Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Axiom corner of the General Commands Manual 💖 this is the page for axiom-test, and yes it's short, and yes it's still iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

axiom-test — run the Axiom regression testsuite 🧪✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

axiom-test [ suitenames ... ]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. optional names, go 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so axiom-test is a simple script that ships with the Debian Axiom package 🎀 and its whole main-character job is letting you run the regression test suite — or just lil pieces of it — on your own system after installation. not me installing a whole computer algebra system and then immediately stress-testing it 😭 love that for us.

the full test results that got performed back at build time? those live in:

/usr/share/doc/axiom-test/test_results.gz

so if you wanna see how it went for the maintainers, that's where you peek 👀

⚠️ real talk though: there is currently no facility for trapping unexpected errors. no safety net. no seatbelt. she simply does not catch surprises. so don't come for her if things go sideways 🙈

now, the optional arguments? they refer to the .input filename stems found in:

/usr/share/<axiom version>/input

so like, you point at the stem of a .input file and that's the suite you're running 🍓 and if you supply no arguments at all? she runs the entire suite. the whole thing. every last one. main character energy fr fr 🔥
