6 ct_slave - Common Test framework functions for starting and stopping
7 nodes for Large-Scale Testing.
8
10 Common Test framework functions for starting and stopping nodes for
11 Large-Scale Testing.
12 This module exports functions used by the Common Test Master to start
14 and stop "slave" nodes. It is the default callback module for the
15 {init, node_start} term in the Test Specification.

18 start(Node) -> Result
19 Types:
21 Node = atom()
23 Result = {ok, NodeName} | {error, Reason, NodeName}
24 Reason = already_started | started_not_connected | boot_time‐
25 out | init_timeout | startup_timeout | not_alive
26 NodeName = atom()
27 Starts an Erlang node with name Node on the local host.
29 See also ct_slave:start/3.
31 start(HostOrNode, NodeOrOpts) -> Result
33 Types:
35 HostOrNode = atom()
37 NodeOrOpts = atom() | list()
38 Result = {ok, NodeName} | {error, Reason, NodeName}
39 Reason = already_started | started_not_connected | boot_time‐
40 out | init_timeout | startup_timeout | not_alive
41 NodeName = atom()
42 Starts an Erlang node with default options on a specified host,
44 or on the local host with specified options. That is, the call
45 is interpreted as start(Host, Node) when the second argument is
46 atom-valued and start(Node, Opts) when it is list-valued.
47 See also ct_slave:start/3.
49 start(Host, Node, Opts) -> Result
51 Types:
53 Node = atom()
55 Host = atom()
56 Opts = [OptTuples]
57 OptTuples = {username, Username} | {password, Password} |
58 {boot_timeout, BootTimeout} | {init_timeout, InitTimeout} |
59 {startup_timeout, StartupTimeout} | {startup_functions, Star‐
60 tupFunctions} | {monitor_master, Monitor} | {kill_if_fail,
61 KillIfFail} | {erl_flags, ErlangFlags} | {env, [{EnvVar,
62 Value}]}
63 Username = string()
64 Password = string()
65 BootTimeout = integer()
66 InitTimeout = integer()
67 StartupTimeout = integer()
68 StartupFunctions = [StartupFunctionSpec]
69 StartupFunctionSpec = {Module, Function, Arguments}
70 Module = atom()
71 Function = atom()
72 Arguments = [term]
73 Monitor = bool()
74 KillIfFail = bool()
75 ErlangFlags = string()
76 EnvVar = string()
77 Value = string()
78 Result = {ok, NodeName} | {error, Reason, NodeName}
79 Reason = already_started | started_not_connected | boot_time‐
80 out | init_timeout | startup_timeout | not_alive
81 NodeName = atom()
82 Starts an Erlang node with name Node on host Host as specified
84 by the combination of options in Opts.
85 Options Username and Password are used to log on to the remote
87 host Host. Username, if omitted, defaults to the current user‐
88 name. Password is empty by default.
89 A list of functions specified in option Startup are executed
91 after startup of the node. Notice that all used modules are to
92 be present in the code path on Host.
93 The time-outs are applied as follows:
95 BootTimeout:
97 The time to start the Erlang node, in seconds. Defaults to 3
98 seconds. If the node is not pingable within this time, the
99 result {error, boot_timeout, NodeName} is returned.
100 InitTimeout:
102 The time to wait for the node until it calls the internal
103 callback function informing master about a successful
104 startup. Defaults to 1 second. In case of a timed out mes‐
105 sage, the result {error, init_timeout, NodeName} is
106 returned.
107 StartupTimeout:
109 The time to wait until the node stops to run StartupFunc‐
110 tions. Defaults to 1 second. If this time-out occurs, the
111 result {error, startup_timeout, NodeName} is returned.
112 Options:
114 monitor_master:
116 Specifies if the slave node is to be stopped if the master
117 node stops. Defaults to false.
118 kill_if_fail:
120 Specifies if the slave node is to be killed if a time-out
121 occurs during initialization or startup. Defaults to true.
122 Notice that the node can also be still alive it the boot
123 time-out occurred, but it is not killed in this case.
124 erlang_flags:
126 Specifies which flags are added to the parameters of the
127 executable erl.
128 env:
130 Specifies a list of environment variables that will extend
131 the environment.
132 Special return values:
134 * {error, already_started, NodeName} if the node with the
136 specified name is already started on a specified host.
137 * {error, started_not_connected, NodeName} if the node is
139 started, but not connected to the master node.
140 * {error, not_alive, NodeName} if the node on which
142 ct_slave:start/3 is called, is not alive. Notice that Node‐
143 Name is the name of the current node in this case.
144 stop(Node) -> Result
146 Types:
148 Node = atom()
150 Result = {ok, NodeName} | {error, Reason, NodeName}
151 Reason = not_started | not_connected | stop_timeout
152 Stops the running Erlang node with name Node on the local host.
154 stop(Host, Node) -> Result
156 Types:
158 Host = atom()
160 Node = atom()
161 Result = {ok, NodeName} | {error, Reason, NodeName}
162 Reason = not_started | not_connected | stop_timeout
163 NodeName = atom()
164 Stops the running Erlang node with name Node on host Host.
