Usage: jtreg options... tests... Tests can be given as files or folders containing test files. General Options -c | -check Verify correctness of test descriptions. Does NOT run tests. -g | -gui Access regression extensions via the standard JavaTest harness gui -noignore suppress the effect of any @ignore tags, allowing the test to proceed as if the @ignore tags were not present. -o:<classname> | -observer:<classname> Specifies the class to observe the progress of a test suite; the class must implement a specific interface; contact a developer for details. E.g. -o:SampleRegressionObserver -od:<path> | -observerDir:<path> | -op:<path> | -observerPath:<path> Specifies the pathname of a directory or .JAR file in which the observer class is located. The given pathname is simply appended to the CLASSPATH used for the tests, thus care should be taken when naming an observer not to collide with the names of classes internal to the JavaTest harness or the JRE, e.g., put the observer class in its own named package. -r:<directory> | -reportDir:<directory> All report files placed here; "./JTreport" is default -ro | -reportOnly Generate report for previously executed tests. This does not re-run any tests. A work directory containing the results of the executed tests must be provided. The default location is "./JTwork". To specify an alternate directory, use -workDir. -startHttpd Start the http server to view test results -timeout:<number> | -timeoutFactor:<number> A scaling factor to extend the default timeout of all tests. Typically used when running on slow file systems. -w:<directory> | -workDir:<directory> Location for .class files, .jtr files, etc. "./JTwork" is default Test Selection Options These options can be used to refine the set of tests to be executed. -a | -automatic | -automagic Any test with /manual will not be run -bug:<bugid> Run only those tests which apply to the given bugid. -exclude:<file> | -Xexclude:<file> Provide a file specifying tests not to be run -k:<keywordExpr> | -keywords:<keywordExpr> A keyword boolean expression for test selection. The expression can contain keyword names, combined with & (and), | (or), ! (not) and parentheses. -m | -manual Only tests with /manual will be run -noshell Any tests which contain shell actions will not be run -shell Only tests which contain shell actions will be run -status:<value>,... Select tests according to their result in an earlier run. The value can be one or more of the following values, separated by commas. pass Tests that passed fail Tests that failed notRun Tests that have not been run error Tests that could not be run because of errors, or tests that were ignored JDK-related Options By default, tests will be run using the default JVM in the test JDK. You can pass all applicable JVM options via using -vmoption; in addition, most common JVM options are also supported directly. For full details of any option, consult the documentation for that version of the JDK, or try using "java -help" or "java -X". If an option is not applicable to a particular platform or JDK release, it will be rejected. -agentlib:<libname><[=<options>] Load native agent library -agentpath:<pathname><[=<options>] Load native agent library by full pathname -classic | -green | -native | -hotspot | -client | -server | -d32 | -d64 VM Options -cpa:<path> | -classpathappend:<path> Append the provided classPath to the CLASSPATH of every test. This is designed to be used primarily for tests which require non-core JDK functionality. For example, to test Swing, which is not part of core JDK1.1, the following addition to the the CLASSPATH would be necessary: -cpa:/usr/local/java/swing-1.0.3/swingall.jar -D<name>=<value> Define a system property -e:name[=value][,name[=value]...] Specify additional environment variables to be passed to each test. If a value is not given for a name, the current value of the environment variable will be used. Standard environment variables, like DISPLAY, LANG, windir, SystemRoot, etc, will automatically be given to each test, if they are set in the current environment. -enableassertions | -enableassertions:* | -ea | -ea:* | -disableassertions | -disableassertions:* | -da | -da:* Enable or disable assertions -enablesystemassertions | -esa | -disablesystemassertions | -dsa Enable or disable system assertions -javaagent:<jarpath><[=<options>] Load Java programming language agent -jdk:<java.home> | -testjdk:<java.home> Run all tests using specified JDK. e.g. -jdk:/usr/local/java/jdk1.5/solaris-sparc -jit Enable the JIT for the tests. The JIT is turned on by default. -nojit Disable the JIT for the tests. -vmoption:<option>... | -vmoptions:<option>... Any other VM options. You can give this option multiple times, or give many values together, separated by spaces> If you give multiple values, you may need to enclose them in quotes, depending on the shell you use. Any embedded filenames must be given with absolute paths. -X* Non-standard VM Options. -Xbootclasspath:<path> Set search path for bootstrap classes and resources -Xbootclasspath/a:<path> Append to end of bootstrap class pat -Xbootclasspath/p:<path> Prepend in front of bootstrap class path -Xint* | -Xmixed* | -Xcomp* Non-standard VM Options -Xrunjcov* Options for running jcov -XX* | -Xms* | -Xmx* Non-standard VM Options Test Mode Options When the JavaTest harness is used to run tests, two possibly different versions of the JDK are used: the JDK version used to run the harness and the JDK version used to run the test(s). The following options provide a means to specify the JDK version used to run the tests. The default is to use the same JDK version (provided by JAVA_HOME) for both the harness and the tests, and for each test to run in its own JVM. -ovm | -othervm Run every test in its own JVM. The JDK version for the tests may be specified via the -testjdk option. If not provided, then the JDK version specified by the JAVA_HOME environment variable will be used. -s | -svm | -samevm If possible, run each test in the same JVM as the JavaTest harness. The JDK version used may be specified with -testjdk. If -testjdk is not provided, then the JDK version will be determined by the environment variable JT_JAVA if it is set. Otherwise, the environment variable JAVA_HOME is used. Verbose Options These options control the amount of output written to the console while running tests -v | -v:<value> | -verbose | -verbose:<value> Increase the amount of output written to the console. A value may be given to select the type of output desired. default Three lines of output per test: start, end, status summary One line of output per test: status, test name all Selected contents of JTR file for all tests (includes stdout/stderr) pass Selected contents of JTR file for passed tests fail Selected contents of JTR file for failed tests error Selected contents of JTR file for errored tests time Elapsed time per action -v1 Short for -verbose:summary -va Short for -verbose:all -ve Short for -verbose:error -vf Short for -verbose:fail -vp Short for -verbose:pass -vt Short for -verbose:time Documentation Options Options for additional documentation -h [words...] | -help [words...] | -usage [words...] Command line help. Give words to see help info containing those or use "-help all" to see all available help. -n | -relnote Release notes -onlineHelp [words...] Show the online help. You can also show the online help from the desktop Help menu. -t | -tagspec Tag specification supported by this implementation -version Give information about the version of jtreg in use. For more details and examples, see the online help. You can access this directly from the command line with "-onlineHelp <word>...", or you can start the JavaTest harness and use the Help menu. jtreg can also be run with Ant. See the online help for details. For example, use the "-onlineHelp ant" command line option. Copyright (C) 2006 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms.
