These tests + require a working httpd installation and are skipped when httpd is not + available. + + 1. Prerequisites + + An Apache HTTP Server (httpd) installation is required. + The following httpd modules must be available: + + - mod_proxy + - mod_proxy_http + - mod_headers + - mod_ssl + - mod_authz_core + - mod_unixd (Linux and macOS only) + - mod_mpm_event or mod_mpm_prefork (Linux and macOS) + + On most Linux distributions, httpd can be installed via the system + package manager: + + # Debian/Ubuntu + sudo apt install apache2 + + # RHEL/Fedora + sudo dnf install httpd + + On macOS, httpd is included with the system or can be installed via + Homebrew: + + brew install httpd + + 2. Configuration + + If the httpd binary is on the system PATH, the tests will find it + automatically. If httpd is installed in a non-standard location, set + the "test.httpd.path" property in your build.properties file to point + to the httpd binary: + + test.httpd.path=/usr/sbin/httpd + + 3. Running the tests + Integration tests are excluded from the default test run. To run + them, use the integration test profile: + + ant test -Dtest.profile=integration + + The httpd integration tests are located in: + + test/org/apache/tomcat/integration/httpd/ + + 4. How the tests work + + Each test starts an httpd instance in foreground mode (-X) with a + generated configuration that proxies requests to a Tomcat instance + managed by the test framework. A file lock (httpd-binary.lock) is + used to serialize test classes so that only one httpd instance runs + at a time. + + The base class (HttpdIntegrationBaseTest) handles platform-specific + httpd module loading automatically. Test subclasses only need to + provide the test-specific httpd directives (proxy rules, extra + modules, etc.). + + (8) Source code checks (8.1) Checkstyle --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
