- README.md: pruned developer-oriented sections (Sphinx setup, Qt Creator workflow, VSCode debugging, release procedure, AppImage Wayland note) and replaced them with a user-facing layout: pre-built releases pointer, quick start, manual install, troubleshooting, licence. - CONTRIBUTING.md: absorbed the developer content (debugging in VSCode, Qt GUI regen, Sphinx build, validation suite — batch + GUI variants, cross-distrib check, release procedure). - doc/quick_start.md: 5-minute path from install to a passing test, in batch mode and in the GUI. - doc/tutorial.md: guided walk-through against a small calc.py module — check, py_func, expected_result, $(...) expansion, group, let, condition, report (with the mkdir reminder), context_id. - CLAUDE.md: subprocess API contract, bins.py, report-exporter plugin section, packaging matrix (wheel / PyInstaller / Flatpak / .deb work-in-progress), refreshed recent-fixes list. README/CLAUDE validation command no longer carries the spurious "-l" flag (which is GUI-only and a no-op in batch). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# testium
|
|
|
|
testium is a YAML-driven test sequencer for hardware-in-the-loop and
|
|
integration testing. A test campaign is described in a `.tum` file as a tree
|
|
of items (checks, console interactions, Python/Lua functions, parallel blocks,
|
|
dialogs, …); testium executes the tree, captures results, and produces
|
|
reports in several formats.
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
* [Quick start](doc/quick_start.md) — install and run your first test in
|
|
five minutes.
|
|
* [Tutorial](doc/tutorial.md) — guided walk-through of the most common
|
|
test items with a runnable example.
|
|
* [User manual (PDF)](doc/manual/testium_manual.pdf) — full reference.
|
|
* [`doc/examples/`](doc/examples/) — runnable `.tum` snippets.
|
|
|
|
## Pre-built releases
|
|
|
|
Pre-built artifacts are published at
|
|
<https://git.beafrancois.fr/v-and-v/testium/releases>:
|
|
|
|
* **Python wheel** (`testium-<version>-py3-none-any.whl`) — install with
|
|
`pip install testium-*.whl`. Lighter than the binary; pulls Python
|
|
dependencies from PyPI on install.
|
|
* **Self-contained Linux binary** (`testium`, built with PyInstaller) —
|
|
runnable directly, no Python installation required on the host. Lua
|
|
support still needs a system `lua` interpreter and the `lua-socket` /
|
|
`lua-cjson` modules.
|
|
* **Flatpak** — *coming soon.*
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
|
|
From a checkout of the repository:
|
|
|
|
| OS | Command |
|
|
|----|---------|
|
|
| Linux | `./run.sh` |
|
|
| Windows (cmd) | `run.bat` |
|
|
| Windows (PowerShell) | `run.ps1` |
|
|
|
|
The wrapper creates a Python virtual environment on first run and starts
|
|
testium in GUI mode. Add `-b path/to/test.tum` to run a test in batch mode.
|
|
|
|
## Manual installation
|
|
|
|
If the wrapper script does not fit your environment, set up testium manually:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python3 -m venv .venv
|
|
source .venv/bin/activate
|
|
pip install -r src/requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Required Python packages (see `src/requirements.txt`):
|
|
`pyside6`, `pyserial`, `pyyaml`, `pexpect`, `gitpython`, `jinja2`, `colorama`,
|
|
`matplotlib`, `junit-xml`, `lxml`.
|
|
|
|
For tests using `lua_func` items, install Lua (>= 5.1) plus the `socket` and
|
|
`cjson` modules. On Debian/Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt install lua5.4 lua-socket lua-cjson
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run testium:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python3 src/testium # GUI
|
|
python3 src/testium -b mytest.tum # batch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### `wl_proxy_marshal_flags` symbol error
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
testium: symbol lookup error: ... undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Force the X11 Qt backend:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
|
|
testium
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `xcb plugin missing`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install the missing system libraries:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0 libicu-dev libxcb-cursor-dev
|
|
```
