I think this is a reasonable compromise, though it's not actually essential. As I understand the TAP spec, the test plan is actually optional (and/or can be at the end of the sequence of tests), though kunit_tool currently only supports having it at the beginning (which is strongly preferred by the spec anyway). I think we could get away with having it at the bottom of the subtest results though, which would save having to run the generator twice, when subtest support is added to kunit_tool. >>> >>> I can't find this in the TAP spec, where should I look?

The only thing I'm not sure about is the format of the parameter description: thus far test names be valid C identifier names, due to the fact they're named after the test function. I don't think there's a fundamental reason parameters (and hence, potentially, subsubtests) need to follow that convention as well, but it does look a bit odd.

The whole point of generators, as I envisage it, is to also provide the ability for varying parameters dependent on e.g. environment, configuration, number of CPUs, etc. The current array-based generator is the simplest possible use-case. However, we *can* require generators generate a deterministic number of parameters when called multiple times on the same system. To that end, I propose a v7 (below) that takes care of getting number of parameters (and also displays descriptions for each parameter where available). Now it is up to you how you want to turn the output from diagnostic lines into something TAP compliant, because now we have the number of parameters and can turn it into a subsubtest. But I think kunit-tool doesn't understand subsubtests yet, so I suggest we take these patches, and then somebody can prepare kunit-tool.

WDYT? >> Hmm… that failure in kunit_tool is definitely a bug: we shouldn't care what comes after the comment character except if it's an explicit subtest declaration or a crash. I'll try to put a patch together to fix it, but I'd rather not delay this just for that. In any thought about this a bit more, It turns out that the proposed KTAP spec[1] discourages the use of ':', except as part of a subtest declaration, or perhaps an as-yet-unspecified fully-qualified test name. The latter is what I was going for, but if it's actively breaking kunit_tool, we might want to hold off on it. If we were to try to treat these as subtests in accordance with that spec, the way we'd want to use one of these options: A) "[ok|not ok] [index] - param-[index]" -- This doesn't mention the test case name, but otherwise treats things exactly the same way we treat existing subtests. B) "[ok|not ok] [index] - [test_case->name]" -- This doesn't name the "subtest", just gives repeated results with the same name. C) "[ok|not ok] [index] - [test_case->name][separator]param-[index]" -- This is equivalent to my suggestion with a separator of ":", or 2 above with a separator of ": ". The in-progress spec doesn't yet specify how these fully-qualified names would work, other than that they'd use a colon somewhere, and if we comment it out, ": " is required. > > Which format do we finally go with? > I'm actually going to make another wild suggestion for this, which is a combination of (1) and (A): "# [test_case->name]: [ok|not ok] [index] - param-[index]" This gives us a KTAP-compliant result line, except prepended with "# [test_case->name]: ", which makes it formally a diagnostic line, rather than an actual subtest. Putting the test name at the start matches what kunit_tool is expecting at the moment. If we then want to turn it into a proper subtest, we can just get rid of that prefix (and add the appropriate counts elsewhere). Does that sound good? >>> >>> Sounds reasonable to me!

Currently I think we have the following proposals for a format: 1. The current "# [test_case->name]: param-[index] [ok|not ok]" -- this works well, because no changes to kunit-tool are required, and it also picks up the diagnostic context for the case and displays that on test failure. 2. Your proposed "# [ok|not ok] - [test_case->name]:param-[index]". As-is, this needs a patch for kunit-tool as well. I just checked, and if we change it to "# [ok|not ok] - [test_case->name]: param-[index]" (note the space after ':') it works without changing kunit-tool. ;-) 3. Something like "# [ok|not ok] param-[index] - [test_case->name]", which I had played with earlier but kunit-tool is definitely not yet happy with.

The repetition of [index] seems unnecessary for now, but I think if we at some point have a way to get a string representation of a param, we can substitute param-[index] with a string that represents the param. Note that once we want to make it a real subtest, we'd need to run the generator twice, once to get the number of params and then to run the tests. If we require that param generators are deterministic in the number of params generated, this is not a problem. Thanks, -- Marco

The previous attempt [1] at something similar failed because it seems
we'd need to teach kunit-tool new tricks [2], too.
[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201105195503.ga2399...@elver.google.com
[2] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201106123433.ga3563...@elver.google.com
So if we go with a different format, we might need a patch before this
one to make kunit-tool compatible with that type of diagnostic.
Currently I think we have the following proposals for a format:
1. The current "# [test_case->name]: param-[index] [ok|not ok]" --
this works well, because no changes to kunit-tool are required, and it
also picks up the diagnostic context for the case and displays that on
test failure.
2. Your proposed "# [ok|not ok] - [test_case->name]:param-[index]".
As-is, this needs a patch for kunit-tool as well. I just checked, and
if we change it to "# [ok|not ok] - [test_case->name]: param-[index]"
(note the space after ':') it works without changing kunit-tool. ;-)
3. Something like "# [ok|not ok] param-[index] - [test_case->name]",
which I had played with earlier but kunit-tool is definitely not yet
happy with.
So my current preference is (2) with the extra space (no change to
kunit-tool required). WDYT?

This looks good to me! A couple of minor thoughts about the output
format below, but I'm quite happy to have this as-is regardless.

[PATCH v6 1/2] kunit: Support for Parameterized Testing
Implementation of support for parameterized testing in KUnit.
This approach requires the creation of a test case using the
KUNIT_CASE_PARAM macro that accepts a generator function as input.
This generator function should return the next parameter given the
previous parameter in parameterized tests. It also provides
a macro to generate common-case generators.

Changes v5->v6:
- Fix alignment to maintain consistency
Changes v4->v5:
- Update kernel-doc comments.
- Use const void* for generator return and prev value types.
- Add kernel-doc comment for KUNIT_ARRAY_PARAM.
- Rework parameterized test case execution strategy: each parameter is executed
as if it was its own test case, with its own test initialization and cleanup
(init and exit are called, etc.). However, we cannot add new test cases per
TAP
protocol once we have already started execution. Instead, log the result of
each parameter run as a diagnostic comment.
Changes v3->v4:
- Rename kunit variables
- Rename generator function helper macro
- Add documentation for generator approach
- Display test case name in case of failure along with param index
Changes v2->v3:
- Modifictaion of generator macro and method
Changes v1->v2:
- Use of a generator method to access test case parameters
