Joachim Wiberg ecac1e58e3 conf: make cgroup delegate and leaf name first-class keys
parse_cgroup() takes two arguments that are not cgroupfs files: the
leaf directory to place the service in, and whether to hand the subtree
over to it.  The block format could express neither.  'name' happened
to work, because a free-form key is emitted as name:VALUE and that is
what the parser looks for, but 'delegate' came out as delegate:true and
was filed as a cgroup setting, so it silently did nothing.

Declare both, and emit delegate as the bare flag the parser expects.
Neither means anything on a top-level group definition, so say so there
rather than emitting something that would be written to cgroupfs.

    service podman {
        cgroup containers { name = "podman"  delegate = true }
        ...
    }

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
