Using Command Line Options: Running Tests


To run a test from the command line, you must, at minimum, provide the test name and any arguments required by the test. Beyond that, you can specify any of the options available in the Run Test dialog. Table 13-1 shows the correspondence between the GUI and the command line flags.

The order for command line options is only loosely defined. For example, Java arguments must immediately follow the javastar call, and the -testargs flag must always fall at the end, but the other options can be defined in any order.

Corresponding Run Test fields to command line flags

Run Test option Corresponding Command Line Flag
Test name -jst JstName -script classname
Test arguments -testargs (args)* This must be the last flag in your command line string.
Java arguments -Jarguments Preface each argument with -J. Do not include a space between -J and the argument. For example: -J-prof -J-mx64m
Log filename -log filename
Work directory -workdir dir
Results directory -resdir dir
Jst path -jstpath searchpath
Show Application and playback window -gui (preface with -play)
Don't show playback window This is the default setting, if -gui or -invisible are not specified.
Don't show Application and playback window -invisible (preface with -play)
(none) -1proc Run with with just one process. You can only use this option on tests that do not contain restart nodes or crash recovery nodes. You also need to include the correct library in the CLASSPATH--for example, if you are using JDK 1.1.4, be sure to add javastar/lib/114.zip to the CLASSPATH.
