Joachim Wiberg f1393ff8a1 conf: instantiate %i templates for the block format
A template in the block format registered garbage.  conf_parse_file()
routed every file with an '@' in its name straight to the legacy
parser, which read the block line by line: the section header became a
service whose command was the section title, and each key = value line
below it became an environment variable.

    service serv:%i { ... }   ->  service 'serv:eth0' with argument '{'

Substitute %i over the whole file before parsing instead, so format
detection and both parsers see finished text.  A bare name@.conf is
still skipped, it is the template rather than an instance of one.

The legacy parser no longer opens the file or substitutes per line, it
is handed the instantiated buffer, so the template convention now has
one implementation instead of two.  conf_is_template() applies
basenm(), a directory with an '@' in its name is not a template.

libconfuse cannot name a buffer it parses before 3.4, so a typo in a
template would be reported against "[buf]".  Parse through fmemopen()
with the file name preset until the floor moves.

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
