KYUA.CONF(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual KYUA.CONF(5) NAME kyua.conf - Configuration file for the kyua tool SYNOPSIS syntax(int version); Variables: architecture, platform, test_suites, unprivileged_user. DESCRIPTION The configuration of Kyua is a simple collection of key/value pairs called configuration variables. There are configuration variables that have a special meaning to the runtime engine implemented by kyua(1), and there are variables that only have meaning in the context of particular test suites. Configuration files are Lua scripts. In their most basic form, their whole purpose is to assign values to variables, but the user has the freedom to implement any logic he desires to compute such values. The general structure of a configuration file is: syntax(2) -- Assign internal variables. architecture = 'foo' platform = 'bar' -- Assign test-suite variables. All of these must be strings. test_suites.NetBSD.file_systems = 'ffs ext2fs' test_suites.X11.graphics_driver = 'vesa' File versioning Every kyua.conf file starts with a call to syntax(int version). This call determines the specific schema used by the file so that future backwards-incompatible modifications to the file can be introduced. Any new kyua.conf file should set version to `2'. Runtime configuration variables The following variables are internally recognized by kyua(1): architecture Name of the system architecture (aka processor type). platform Name of the system platform (aka machine type). unprivileged_user Name or UID of the unprivileged user. If set, the given user must exist in the system and his privileges will be used to run test cases that need regular privileges when kyua(1) is executed as root. Test-suite configuration variables Each test suite is able to recognize arbitrary configuration variables, and their type and meaning is specific to the test suite. Because the existence and naming of these variables depends on every test suite, this manual page cannot detail them; please refer to the documentation of the test suite you are working with for more details on this topic. Test-suite specific configuration variables are defined inside the test_suites dictionary. The general syntax is: test_suites.<test_suite_name>.<variable_name> = <value> where test_suite_name is the name of the test suite, variable_name is the name of the variable to set, and value is a value. The value can be a string, an integer or a boolean. FILES /usr/share/examples/kyua-cli/kyua.conf Sample configuration file.
