# libvirt-tck-v
Generate a formal XML document of results
# libvirt-tck--format xml
DESCRIPTION
The "libvirt-tck" (libvirt Technology Compatability Kit) command
provides the primary mechanism to run the functional, integration test
suite for libvirt drivers.
WARNING
There now follows a few words of warning
The test suite needs to have a completely 'clean' initial starting
state. If your host already has virtual machines defined and/or running
this will cause problems. The test suite will detect this and refuse to
run, allowing you to remove any preexisting guests. Alternatively you
can pass the --force option and libvirt will DELETE EVERYTHING it
finds.
To repeat: ALL YOUR EXISTING DOMAINS, NETWORKS, STORAGE POOLS WILL BE
DELETED IF YOU USE THE --force OPTION.
The warning is now complete, continue reading
OPTIONS
If invoked without any arguments the test suite will run using the
default configuration file from "/etc/libvirt-tck/default.cfg" and will
allow libvirt to probe for the hypervisor driver to run. If a reliably
repeatable test result set is desired, it is recommended to always give
an explicit libvirt connection URI to choose the driver. The following
options are available when running the "libvirt-tck" command
-v, --verbose
Display fine details of individual test progresss. Without this
only the name of each test will be printed, along with details of
failures.
-q, --quiet
Do not display any information about test progress, not even the
name of each test case
-c, --config FILE
Specify the name of the configuration file to use, rather than the
default "/etc/libvirt-tck/default.cfg"
--format text|html|xml
Choose the output format for the test results. The default format
is "text", producing human readable results on the console. The
"html" option dumps an HTML file of results to STDOUT, while the
"xml" option generates a formal XML document of results.
--force
Forcably remove all running guest domains and all persistent guest
domain configuration files before running any tests. The test suite
requires a pristine install, so all existing managed objects must
be removed before running. This switch will instruct libvirt-tck to
automatically remove all guest domains. YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR
EXISTING GUEST DOMAINS BACK IF THIS HAPPENS. THEY WILL BE GONE
FOREVER. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
-t, --testdir PATH
Specify an alternate directory path in which to find the test
scripts to be run. If omitted, defaults to
"/usr/share/libvirt-tck/tests"
-a, --archive FILE
Generate an archive containing all the raw test results. The
filename given should end in either ".bz", ".tar.gz" or ".tgz"
