Updated utilities test scripts to make output more legible; fixed some typos.
Added four new expected output files to avoid false negative reports
for the h5dump tests (for ones that expect to have error report in them).
Updated MANIFEST to reflect the changes.
Platforms tested:
VMS server (more testing is on the way)
Description: Some "" were missing causing incorrect results in passing an argument
string.
Solution: Added missing ""
Platforms tested: VMS server.
There are still problems with the tests that have
"string" as an argument, for example:
-d "/g1/g1.1/dset1.1.2[0;2;10]" tall.h5
On VMS "g1" and "dset" are translated in upper case causing h5dump
to fail. After figuring out the correct amount of " for VMS I encountered
another problem: corresponding DDL file does not have "" around
/g1/g1.1/dset1.1.2..... and therefore VMS diff fails.
Question: Since command to h5dump is
h5dump -d "/g1/g1.1/dset1.1.2[0;2;10]" tall.h5, why the second line in the
tall-5s.ddl has
h5dump -d /g1/g1.1/dset1.1.2[0;2;10] tall.h5? If one types the command
without "", it fails on UNIX.
Misc. update:
Description: More work on the test script: added all current UNIX tests.
Solution:
Platforms tested: VMS server; many tests failed but I think it is false negative.
will investigate, but for now, let's save the code.
Misc. update:
Description: Added a command file for testing tools; it has a framework
to do exactly (almost) what UNIX tools test scripts do:
- run test tool and save output
- compare output with expected result
- figure out the difference and
- print PASSED /*FAILED* in a manner similar to the UNIX output
It needs to be populated with more tests and reused for other tools.
Solution:
Platforms tested: VMS server
Misc. update:
Description: Added support for Zlib compression on VMS
Solution: Modified command files to add compilation and linking with
the ZLIB library.
Platforms tested: VMS servere with the VAX floating datatype;
will test IEEE option later
Misc. update:
Description: Some VMS command files were broken, some needed
an update to catch up with the current code distribution.
Solution: Fixed
Platforms tested: VMS server with IEEE option. Will do more testing after
checking out a fresh CVS version.
Misc. update:
Description: Some dumper tests suppose to fail; those tests cause make file
to exit.
Solution: For now I commented those tests to let other tests
to run; output is saved in a file for examination. Next step
will be to compare with the existing output. (Actually
the next step will be to learn how to program functions in DCL to
create a test script similar to UNIX one, but at least I finally
figured out why the test script was exiting.)
Platforms tested: VMS server
