NAME

7       xmltest  -  Test script to send CIM-XML (via wbemcat) to CIMOM and com‐
8       pare to known results
9

SYNOPSIS

11       xmltest [FILE]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       xmltest is a script that is used to send a raw CIM-XML test file to the
15       sfcb  CIMOM  (using  wbemcat)  and  then  compares the returned CIM-XML
16       results against a previously  determined  'OK'  result  file  to  check
17       whether  the returned results match the expected results. If there does
18       not yet exist an 'OK' corresponding to the XML file then  xmltest  will
19       save  the  returned  results  as  the new OK file for later use. If the
20       returned CIM-XML results don't match  the  existing  'OK'  file  a  new
21       'result' file will be generated containing the erroneous results.
22
23       If  no  FILE is specified xmltest will use all files with a .xml exten‐
24       sion in the current directory path.
25

EXAMPLE

27       If there is no 'OK' file to compare returned  CIM-XML  results  against
28       xmltest will generate one.
29
30              # xmltest test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml
31
32              Running test test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml ... OK
33              Saving response as test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.OK
34
35       If  the  returned  CIM-XML results match the existing 'OK' file xmltest
36       will signal that the test passed.
37
38              # xmltest test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml
39
40              Running test test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml ... Passed
41
42       If the returned CIM-XML results don't match the existing 'OK' file xml‐
43       test  will signal that the tes failed and generate a 'result' file con‐
44       taining the erroneous results.
45
46              # xmltest test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml
47
48              Running test test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml ... FAILED
49              Check test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.result for errors

BUGS

61       Does not adequately deal with additional http headers/footers caused by
62       chunking  responses, which will result in false failures when comparing
63       results to existing "x.OK" files.
