Joachim Wiberg 5cc41b3ba4 libink: take the match keys clients send without asking
A rule carrying sender, destination, or eavesdrop was refused whole,
and a peer whose AddMatch fails gets no signals at all.  That is a
poor trade for keys clients attach as a matter of course: better a
filter wider than asked for than a subscription that never happened.

They are accepted and ignored rather than honoured.  Widening costs
nothing here since Finit is the only sender on this bus, and what it
emits through the match table is state any peer that got this far may
already read.

argN and argNpath still take the whole rule down.  Honouring them
means parsing message bodies, and nothing asks for them yet.

Finit Test Suite

Finit comes with a set of tests and a small framework for running them. Contributors are encouraged to write new tests when implementing features, or fixing bugs.

Each test is run in isolation, in it's own namespace. Finit will therefore be able to be launched as PID 1. Since it's also running with it's own root directory it will be able to function properly without having any super user privileges in the host environment.

Running tests

To run the test suite, first build Finit, e.g:

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix= --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-testserv-plugin
make -j9 clean all

Then run (parallel does not work atm):

make check

make check will set up the required assets for the test environment, and then run the full set of tests. The environment is not removed afterwards so at this point individual tests can be executed without having to run the entire test suite, which is handy when developing new tests or debugging existing test. To execute an individual test, simply invoke the script containing it:

./test/name-of-the-test.sh

Another way to run a single (or more) test(s) is to define the TESTS environment variable:

TESTS="start-kill-service" make check
