bpftrace Tests

There are two test suites in the project.

Unit tests

These tests can be run with the bpftrace_test executable.

The code generation tests are based on the output of LLVM 5, so may give errors if run with different version. They can be excluded by running:

bpftrace_test --gtest_filter=-codegen*

Runtime tests

Runtime tests will call the bpftrace executable.

  • Run: sudo make runtime-tests inside your build folder
  • By default, runtime-tests will look for the executable in the build folder. You can set a value to the environment variable BPFTRACE_RUNTIME_TEST_EXECUTABLE to customize it

Test programs

You can add test programs for your runtime tests by placing a .c file corresponding to your test program in tests/testprogs.

The test file tests/testprogs/my_test.c will result in an executable that you can call and probe in your runtime test at ./testprogs/my_test

This intended to be useful for testing uprobes and USDT probes, or using uprobes to verify some other behavior in bpftrace.
