Joachim Wiberg f51aee1ec5 test: keep the replacement libsystemd out of the sysroot
dbus-broker fails, the bus never comes up:

    Service dbus[19] died (exit status: 127), restarting

The sysroot stages dbus-daemon from the host, which links the real
libsystemd, and since v5.0 builds ours by default the install puts a
second libsystemd.so.0 in the sysroot.  It wins the ld.so cache, and
dbus-daemon finds neither sd_journal_stream_fd nor the LIBSYSTEMD_209
symbol versions in it.

Uninstall the library from the sysroot after the install.  The test serv
compiles sd-daemon.c in, so nothing there needs it.

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
