ZTEST_EXPECTED_RESULT_FAIL

@ ZTEST_EXPECTED_RESULT_FAIL

Expect a test to fail.

Definition ztest_test.h:49

Expect a test to fail (mark it passing if it failed)

Adding this macro to your logic will allow the failing test to be considered passing, example:

ZTEST_EXPECT_FAIL(my_suite, test_x);
ZTEST(my_suite, text_x) {
  zassert_true(false, NULL);
}

Parameters

_suite_name	The name of the suite
_test_name	The name of the test

◆ ZTEST_EXPECT_SKIP

			_test_name )

#include </home/runner/work/sdk-nrf/sdk-nrf/ncs/zephyr/subsys/testsuite/ztest/include/zephyr/ztest_test.h>

Value:

__ZTEST_EXPECT(_suite_name, _test_name, ZTEST_EXPECTED_RESULT_SKIP)

ZTEST_EXPECTED_RESULT_SKIP

@ ZTEST_EXPECTED_RESULT_SKIP

Expect a test to pass.

Definition ztest_test.h:50

Expect a test to skip (mark it passing if it failed)

Adding this macro to your logic will allow the failing test to be considered passing, example:

ZTEST_EXPECT_SKIP(my_suite, test_x);
ZTEST(my_suite, text_x) {
  zassume_true(false, NULL);
}

Parameters

_suite_name	The name of the suite
_test_name	The name of the test

◆ ZTEST_F

#define ZTEST_F	(		suite,
			fn )

#include </home/runner/work/sdk-nrf/sdk-nrf/ncs/zephyr/subsys/testsuite/ztest/include/zephyr/ztest_test.h>

Value:

Z_ZTEST_F(suite, fn, 0)

Define a test function.

This macro behaves exactly the same as ZTEST(), but the function takes an argument for the fixture of type struct suite##_fixture* named fixture.

Parameters

suite	The name of the test suite to attach this test
fn	The test function to call.

◆ ZTEST_P

#define ZTEST_P	(		suite,
			fn )

#include </home/runner/work/sdk-nrf/sdk-nrf/ncs/zephyr/subsys/testsuite/ztest/include/zephyr/ztest_test.h>

Value:

        static STRUCT_SECTION_ITERABLE(ztest_test_rule, z_ztest_test_rule_##name) = {              \
                .before_each = (before_each_fn),                                                   \
                .after_each = (after_each_fn),                                                     \
        }

Define a test rule that will run before/after each unit test.

Functions defined here will run before/after each unit test for every test suite. Along with the callback, the test functions are provided a pointer to the test being run, and the data. This provides a mechanism for tests to perform custom operations depending on the specific test or the data (for example logging may use the test's name).

Ordering:

Test rule's before function will run before the suite's before function. This is done to allow the test suite's customization to take precedence over the rule which is applied to all suites.
Test rule's after function is not guaranteed to run in any particular order.

Parameters

name	The name for the test rule (must be unique within the compilation unit)
before_each_fn	The callback function (ztest_rule_cb) to call before each test (may be NULL)
after_each_fn	The callback function (ztest_rule_cb) to call after each test (may be NULL)

#include </home/runner/work/sdk-nrf/sdk-nrf/ncs/zephyr/subsys/testsuite/ztest/include/zephyr/ztest_test.h>

        }

Create and register a ztest suite.

Using this macro creates a new test suite. It then creates a struct ztest_suite_node in a specific linker section.

Tests can then be run by calling ztest_run_test_suites(const void *state) by passing in the current state. See the documentation for ztest_run_test_suites for more info.

Parameters

PREDICATE	A function to test against the state and determine if the test should run.
setup_fn	The setup function to call before running this test suite
before_fn	The function to call before each unit test in this suite

K_USER

#define K_USER

user mode thread

Definition kernel.h:271

Define a test function that should run as a user thread.

This macro behaves exactly the same as ZTEST, but calls the test function in user space if CONFIG_USERSPACE was enabled.

Parameters

suite	The name of the test suite to attach this test
fn	The test function to call.

◆ ZTEST_USER_F

#define ZTEST_USER_F	(		suite,

Value:

Z_ZTEST_F(suite, fn, K_USER)

Define a test function that should run as a user thread.

If CONFIG_USERSPACE is not enabled, this is functionally identical to ZTEST_F(). The test function takes a single fixture argument of type struct suite##_fixture* named fixture.

Parameters

suite	The name of the test suite to attach this test
fn	The test function to call.

A 'after' function to use in test suites that just need to stop 1cpu.

Ignores data, and calls z_test_1cpu_stop()

Parameters

data	The test suite's data

◆ ztest_simple_1cpu_before()

void ztest_simple_1cpu_before ( void * data )

#include </home/runner/work/sdk-nrf/sdk-nrf/ncs/zephyr/subsys/testsuite/ztest/include/zephyr/ztest_test.h>

void ztest_test_fail ( void )

#include </home/runner/work/sdk-nrf/sdk-nrf/ncs/zephyr/subsys/testsuite/ztest/include/zephyr/ztest_test.h>

Fail the currently running test.

This is the function called from failed assertions and the like. You probably don't need to call it yourself.

◆ ztest_test_pass()

void ztest_test_pass ( void )

#include </home/runner/work/sdk-nrf/sdk-nrf/ncs/zephyr/subsys/testsuite/ztest/include/zephyr/ztest_test.h>

Pass the currently running test.

Normally a test passes just by returning without an assertion failure. However, if the success case for your test involves a fatal fault, you can call this function from k_sys_fatal_error_handler to indicate that the test passed before aborting the thread.

◆ ztest_test_skip()

void ztest_test_skip ( void )

#include </home/runner/work/sdk-nrf/sdk-nrf/ncs/zephyr/subsys/testsuite/ztest/include/zephyr/ztest_test.h>

#include </home/runner/work/sdk-nrf/sdk-nrf/ncs/zephyr/subsys/testsuite/ztest/include/zephyr/ztest_test.h>

Fails the test if any of the registered tests did not run.

When registering test suites, a pragma function can be provided to determine WHEN the test should run. It is possible that a test suite could be registered but the pragma always prevents it from running. In cases where a test should make sure that ALL suites ran at least once, this function may be called at the end of test_main(). It will cause the test to fail if any suite was registered but never ran.
