How to write a Batch

A batch is a collection of tests that should be run together by JETBatch.

A batch file is a simple java property file that lists the tests and is sent in to JETBatch through the -propfile <batchfile> command line option.

Simple example batch file:

 batch.test.failing=src/test/jet/example_test_failing.xml
 batch.test.example=src/test/jet/example_test.xml

The batchfile uses this pattern:

 batch.test.<test_name>=<test xml file>
 batch.test.<test_name>.<property>=<value>

A patch file normally contain many tests with different test_names and settings.

Reserved properties

pri

Priority. Priority 1 tests will be run before priority 2 tests, etc., default 10

nodes

The number of nodes this test needs, default 1

repeat

The number of times to repeat this test, default 1

driver

The test driver to run this test, default

jet, can also be

enabled

true or false, set to false to not run this test. Default true

Other properties

You can also add other properties that will be set for only this test. Any JET properties can be used.

Example:

 batch.test.example.jet.reportpath=/tmp

Makes jet.reportpath be /tmp for this test only
