KYUA-REPORT(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		KYUA-REPORT(1)

NAME
     kyua report -- Generates reports with the results of a test suite run

SYNOPSIS
     kyua report [--output path] [--results-file file]
	  [--results-filter types] [--verbose] [test_filter1 ..	test_filterN]

DESCRIPTION
     The kyua report command parses a results file and generates a user-
     friendly, plaintext report	for user consumption on	the terminal.  By de-
     fault, these reports only display a summary of the	execution of the full
     test suite	to highlight where problems may	lie.

     The output	of kyua	report can be customized to display full details on
     all executed test cases.  Additionally, the optional arguments to kyua
     report are	used to	select which test programs or test cases to display.
     These are filters and are described below in Test filters.

     Reports generated by kyua report are not intended to be
     machine-parseable.

     The following subcommand options are recognized:

     --output path
	 Specifies the path to which the report	should be written to.  The
	 special values	/dev/stdout and	/dev/stderr can	be used	to specify the
	 standard output and the standard error, respectively.

     --results-file path, -s path
	 Specifies the results file to operate on.  Defaults to	`LATEST',
	 which causes kyua report to automatically load	the latest results
	 file from the current test suite.

	 The following values are accepted:

	 `LATEST'
	     Requests the load of the latest results file available for	the
	     test suite	rooted at the current directory.

	 Directory
	     Requests the load of the latest results file available for	the
	     test suite	rooted at the given directory.

	 Test suite name
	     Requests the load of the latest results file available for	the
	     given test	suite.

	 Results identifier
	     Requests the load of a specific results file.

	 Explicit file name (aka everything else)
	     Load the specified	results	file.

	 See Results files for more details.

     --results-filter types
	 Comma-separated list of the test result types to include in the re-
	 port.	The ordering of	the values is respected	so that	you can	deter-
	 mine how you want the list of tests to	be shown.

	 The valid values are: `broken', `failed', `passed', `skipped' and
	 `xfail'.  If the parameter supplied to	the option is empty, filtering
	 is suppressed and all result types are	shown in the report.

	 The default value for this flag includes all the test results except
	 the passed tests.  Showing the	passed tests by	default	clutters the
	 report	with too much information, so only abnormal conditions are in-
	 cluded.

     --verbose
	 Prints	a detailed report of the execution.  In	addition to all	the
	 information printed by	default, verbose reports include the runtime
	 context of the	test suite run,	the metadata of	each test case,	and
	 the verbatim output of	the test cases.

   Results files
     Results files contain, as their name implies, the results of the execu-
     tion of a test suite.  Each test suite executed by	kyua-test(1) generates
     a new results file, and such results files	can be loaded later on by in-
     spection commands such as kyua-report(1) to analyze their contents.

     Results files support identifier-based lookups and	also path name
     lookups.  The differences between the two are described below.

     The default naming	scheme for the results files provides simple support
     for identifier-based lookups and historical recording of test suite runs.
     Each results file is given	an identifier derived from the test suite that
     generated it and the time the test	suite was run.	Kyua can later look up
     results files by these fields.

     The identifier follows this pattern:

	   <test_suite>.<YYYYMMDD>-<HHMMSS>-<uuuuuu>

     where `test_suite'	is the path to the root	of the test suite that was run
     with all slashes replaced by underscores and `YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-uuuuuu' is
     a timestamp with microsecond resolution.

     When using	the default naming scheme, results files are stored in the
     ~/.kyua/store/ subdirectory and each file holds a name of the form:

	   ~/.kyua/store/results.<identifier>.db

     Results files are simple SQLite databases with the	schema described in
     the /usr/share/kyua/store/schema_v?.sql files.  For details on the
     schema, please refer to the heavily commented SQL file.

   Test	filters
     A test filter is a	string that is used to match test cases	or test	pro-
     grams in a	test suite.  Filters have the following	form:

	   test_program_name[:test_case_name]

     Where `test_program_name' is the name of a	test program or	a subdirectory
     in	the test suite,	and `test_case_name' is	the name of a test case.

EXIT STATUS
     The kyua report command returns 0 if no filters were specified or if all
     filters match one or more test cases.  If any filter fails	to match any
     test case,	the command returns 1.

     Additional	exit codes may be returned as described	in kyua(1).

EXAMPLES
   Workflow with results files
     If	one runs the following command twice in	a row:

	   kyua	test -k	/usr/tests/Kyuafile

     the two executions	will generate two different files with names like:

	   ~/.kyua/store/results.usr_tests.20140731-150500-196784.db
	   ~/.kyua/store/results.usr_tests.20140731-151730-997451.db

     Taking advantage of the default naming scheme, the	following commands
     would all generate	a report for the results of the	latest execution of
     the test suite:

	   cd /usr/tests && kyua report
	   cd /usr/tests && kyua report	--results-file=LATEST
	   kyua	report --results-file=/usr/tests
	   kyua	report --results-file=usr_tests
	   kyua	report --results-file=usr_tests.20140731-151730-997451

     But it is also possible to	explicitly load	data for older runs or from
     explicitly-named files:

	   kyua	report \
	       --results-file=usr_tests.20140731-150500-196784
	   kyua	report \
	       --results-file=~/.kyua/store/results.usr_tests.20140731-150500-196784.db
