Joachim Wiberg be28436c2d conf: drop the angle brackets from if, infer from the value
The block format spells conditions as bare strings everywhere else, so
requiring `if = "<usr/foo>"` left one sigil behind, carried over from
the line-based `if:` token.  A namespace separator already tells the two
apart: a value with a '/' is a condition, anything else is a service
name.

svc_ifthen() picks its mode from the start of the statement and applies
it to the whole, so a statement naming both kinds cannot be evaluated.
That is now an error, as are the old angle brackets, and either one
skips the block:

    /etc/finit.conf: mixed: if: cannot mix a service name with a
    condition in 'anchor,usr/enable-me', a statement must be all of
    one kind, skipping

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
