|
<p>FATE is an extended regression suite on the client-side and a means
|
|
for results aggregation and presentation on the server-side.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The first part of this document explains how you can use FATE from
|
|
your FFmpeg source directory to test your ffmpeg binary. The second
|
|
part describes how you can run FATE to submit the results to FFmpeg’s
|
|
FATE server.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In any way you can have a look at the publicly viewable FATE results
|
|
by visiting this website:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><a href="http://fate.ffmpeg.org/">http://fate.ffmpeg.org/</a>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This is especially recommended for all people contributing source
|
|
code to FFmpeg, as it can be seen if some test on some platform broke
|
|
with their recent contribution. This usually happens on the platforms
|
|
the developers could not test on.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The second part of this document describes how you can run FATE to
|
|
submit your results to FFmpeg’s FATE server. If you want to submit your
|
|
results be sure to check that your combination of CPU, OS and compiler
|
|
is not already listed on the above mentioned website.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In the third part you can find a comprehensive listing of FATE makefile
|
|
targets and variables.

|
|
|
|
<p>If you want to run FATE on your machine you need to have the samples
|
|
in place. You can get the samples via the build target fate-rsync.
|
|
Use this command from the top-level source directory:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">make fate-rsync SAMPLES=fate-suite/
|
|
make fate SAMPLES=fate-suite/
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The above commands set the samples location by passing a makefile
|
|
variable via command line. It is also possible to set the samples
|
|
location at source configuration time by invoking configure with
|
|
<samp>--samples=<path to the samples directory></samp>. Afterwards you can
|
|
invoke the makefile targets without setting the <var>SAMPLES</var> makefile
|
|
variable. This is illustrated by the following commands:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">./configure --samples=fate-suite/
|
|
make fate-rsync
|
|
make fate
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Yet another way to tell FATE about the location of the sample
|
|
directory is by making sure the environment variable FATE_SAMPLES
|
|
contains the path to your samples directory. This can be achieved
|
|
by e.g. putting that variable in your shell profile or by setting
|
|
it in your interactive session.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">FATE_SAMPLES=fate-suite/ make fate
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="info">
|
|
<p>Do not put a ’~’ character in the samples path to indicate a home
|
|
directory. Because of shell nuances, this will cause FATE to fail.
|
|
</p></div>
|
|
<p>To use a custom wrapper to run the test, pass <samp>--target-exec</samp> to
|
|
<code>configure</code> or set the <var>TARGET_EXEC</var> Make variable.
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>To submit your results to the server you should run fate through the
|
|
shell script <samp>tests/fate.sh</samp> from the FFmpeg sources. This script needs
|
|
to be invoked with a configuration file as its first argument.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">tests/fate.sh /path/to/fate_config
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>A configuration file template with comments describing the individual
|
|
configuration variables can be found at <samp>doc/fate_config.sh.template</samp>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The mentioned configuration template is also available here:
|
|
</p><pre class="verbatim">slot= # some unique identifier
|
|
repo=git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git # the source repository
|
|
#branch=release/2.6 # the branch to test
|
|
samples= # path to samples directory
|
|
workdir= # directory in which to do all the work
|
|
#fate_recv="ssh -T fate@fate.ffmpeg.org" # command to submit report
|
|
comment= # optional description
|
|
build_only= # set to "yes" for a compile-only instance that skips tests
|
|
|
|
# the following are optional and map to configure options
|
|
arch=
|
|
cpu=
|
|
cross_prefix=
|
|
as=
|
|
cc=
|
|
ld=
|
|
target_os=
|
|
sysroot=
|
|
target_exec=
|
|
target_path=
|
|
target_samples=

|
extra_cflags=
|
|
extra_ldflags=

|
extra_libs=
|
|
extra_conf= # extra configure options not covered above
|
|
|
|
#make= # name of GNU make if not 'make'
|
|
makeopts= # extra options passed to 'make'
|
|
#tar= # command to create a tar archive from its arguments on stdout,
|
|
# defaults to 'tar c'
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>Create a configuration that suits your needs, based on the configuration
|
|
template. The <code>slot</code> configuration variable can be any string that is not
|
|
yet used, but it is suggested that you name it adhering to the following
|
|
pattern ‘<samp><var>arch</var>-<var>os</var>-<var>compiler</var>-<var>compiler version</var></samp>’. The
|
|
configuration file itself will be sourced in a shell script, therefore all
|
|
shell features may be used. This enables you to setup the environment as you
|
|
need it for your build.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For your first test runs the <code>fate_recv</code> variable should be empty or
|
|
commented out. This will run everything as normal except that it will omit
|
|
the submission of the results to the server. The following files should be
|
|
present in $workdir as specified in the configuration file:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> configure.log
|
|
</li><li> compile.log
|
|
</li><li> test.log
|
|
</li><li> report
|
|
</li><li> version
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you have everything working properly you can create an SSH key pair
|
|
and send the public key to the FATE server administrator who can be contacted
|
|
at the email address <a href="mailto:fate-admin@ffmpeg.org">fate-admin@ffmpeg.org</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Configure your SSH client to use public key authentication with that key
|
|
when connecting to the FATE server. Also do not forget to check the identity
|
|
of the server and to accept its host key. This can usually be achieved by
|
|
running your SSH client manually and killing it after you accepted the key.
|
|
The FATE server’s fingerprint is:

get detailed output concerning your SSH configuration and the authentication

process.

</p>
|
|
<p>The only thing left is to automate the execution of the fate.sh script and

the synchronisation of the samples directory.
