testbase-driver
Note: This is taken from the Chicken Wiki, where a more recent version could be available.
A test runner utility for use with TestBase tests.
The testbase driver runs TestBase test-files, with optional configuration. The test-results are stored in the testbase test results database. The test-files are stored in the testbase test files directory.
The testbase-driver command:
chicken-testbase-driver [options...] test-file
--indent=INTEGER Amount to indent messages [default: 0]
--test-compile Run compiled test
--compiler=PATHNAME Compiler command pathname
--compiler-option=OPTION(S) Option(s) for the compiler
--compiler-extend=FORM(S) Form(s) for compiler to load before compiling
--test-interpret Run interpreted test
--interpreter=PATHNAME Interpreter command pathname
--interpreter-option=OPTION(S) Option(s) for the interpreter
--test-ignore=TESTNAME(S) Ignore the result(s) for the specified test(s)
--test-skip=TESTSPEC(S) Skip the specified test(s)
--test-take=TESTSPEC(S) Take the specified test(s)
--test-directory=PATHNAME Directory in which to run the test
--test-setup=FORM(S) Form(s) to pass on to the running test
--test-reader-extension=ID(S) Module(s) for test results reader to load before reading
--files-repository=PATHNAME Directory where test files are stored
--results-repository=DIRECTORY Directory where test results are stored
--results-expectation-specifics Enable inclusion of the actual values for expectation test results
--results-mode=all|errors|none How are test results stored [default: errors]
--failure-exit=CODE Upon test failure exit with CODE
-q, --quiet Do not print messages
-v, --verbose Print phase messages
-n, --dry-run Just show commands to be executed, don't run them
-V, --version Display version
-h, --help Display this textCurrently the testbase results database is a suite of files in the results-repository directory, . Each file is a collection of test results records, one per test-file.
An API, TestBase Results, is provided to manipulate test results. The programmer is strongly encouraged to use the provided API.
A test-file may have one or more configuration sections. The sections are represented as a Scheme block comment.
The configuation section header must be on a single line. The trailer must be on a single line. The configuation section contents must follow Scheme read-syntax, and comments but not block-comments, are allowed.
Two execution models are recognized, compile and interpret.

The elements of the 'test subsection are combined with the execution model subsections, compile and interpret. When an element is single-valued the subsection element takes precedence.
The command-line argument values are combined with the corresponding subsection elements. When an element is single-valued the command-line argument takes precedence.
