TEST-NGINX...ST-COMMAND(1)

💖 TEST-NGINX-AUTOPKGTEST-COMMAND(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section, this is TEST-NGINX...ST-COMMAND(1) and she is serving 💅

✨ NAME ✨

test-nginx-autopkgtest-command — run Test::Nginx tests under autopkgtest 🧚

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

test-nginx-autopkgtest-command [prove-arguments...]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So basically test-nginx-autopkgtest-command sets up Test::Nginx so it uses the system nginx installation, and then it runs the package's tests. that's the whole gig, and she does it flawlessly, no cap 👑

If you pass command-line arguments, they get handed straight over to prove(1). like, you say it, prove does it 🫶

If debian/tests/test-nginx-prepare exists and is executable, it runs before the test suite. prep time, glow up first, tests second ✨

When you invoke it with no arguments, it runs every .t file below t/ — except the ones listed in debian/tests/test-nginx-failures. those get benched 🙈

Then the tests listed in debian/tests/test-nginx-failures are run separately, and they are expected to fail. like yes queen, fail on purpose, that's the vibe check they're supposed to flunk 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• prove(1)
• nginx(8)

fr fr, that's the whole page. go forth and let the tests cook 🔥
