`umockdev` Tests
|
|
================
|
|
`umockdev` tests use fingerprint devices mocked by [`umockdev`
|
|
toolchain][umockdev].
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to create a 'capture' test: a test that
|
|
captures a picture of a fingerprint from the device (mocked by
|
|
`umockdev`) and compares it with the standard one.
|
|
|
|
Other kinds of `umockdev` tests can be created in a similar manner. For
|
|
match-on-chip devices you would instead create a test specific `custom.py`
|
|
script, capture it and store the capture to `custom.pcapng`.
|
|
|
|
'Capture' Test Creation
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
A new 'capture' test is created by means of `capture.py` script:
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure that libfprint is built with support for the device driver
|
|
that you want to capture a test case for.
|
|
|
|
2. From the build directory, run tests/create-driver-test.py as root. Note
|
|
that if you're capturing data for a driver which already has a test case
|
|
but the hardware is slightly different, you might want to pass a variant
|
|
name as a command-line options, for example:
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ sudo tests/create-driver-test.py driver [variant]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. If the capture is not successful, run the tool again to start another capture.
|
|
|
|
4. Add driver test name to `drivers_tests` in the `meson.build`, as instructed,
|
|
and change the ownership of the just-created test directory in the source.
|
|
|
|
5. Check whether `meson test` passes with this new test.
|
|
|
|
**Note.** To avoid submitting a real fingerprint, the side of finger,
|
|
arm, or anything else producing an image with the device can be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Possible Issues
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Other changes may be needed to get everything working. For example the
|
|
`elan` driver relies on a timeout that is not reported correctly. In
|
|
this case the driver works around it by interpreting the protocol
|
|
error differently in the virtual environment (by means of
|
|
`FP_DEVICE_EMULATION` environment variable).
