===============================================================================

1. Introduction
----------------

gst-validate-launcher is a test launcher tool. It has been designed to
launch the various tools included in GstValidate, running tests on real
media files. This means that with gst-validate-launcher, you can launch
many tests automatically in one simple command. It then permits to
aggregate results and print them in a human readable way on stdout
and serializing them in the following implemented formats:

 * %s

We support all the tools provided in GstValidate in the launcher, but
we also support ges-launch when the GStreamer Editing Services have
been compiled against GstValidate.

2. Default test suite
---------------------

A default suite of tests is provided and is available at: http://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-integration-testsuites/
You can run it pretty simply doing:

.    $gst-validate-launcher --sync

That will download Gstreamer upstream default assets into the
default folder (%s) and run all currently
activated tests. Note that we use git-annex https://git-annex.branchable.com/ so
you will need that tool to get started.

3. Implement your own tests
---------------------------

To implement new tests, you will just need to set the media path using the
--medias-paths argument. If you want to run all available scenarios on all the
file present in that folder, you should run the first time:

.    $gst-validate-launcher --medias-paths /path/to/media/files --generate-media-info

That will generate the .media_info files that contains information about the media
files present in that folder. Those media_info files are simple XML file describing
the topology of the media files. You need not reuse --generate-media-info from
next time. The generated media files will be used as a reference for following
runs. You might want to check that they contain the right information yourself
the first time.

Once .media-info is generated, you can update it using --update-media-info.

Those .media_info are the files that are used by gst-validate-launcher to know
what media files can be used for the different scenarios. For example if a
file is not seekable, seeking scenarios will not be run on it etc...

3.1 Scenarios specific to a media file/stream:
----------------------------------------------

It is possible that some scenarios are very specific to one media file. In that case,
the .scenario file should be present in the same folder as the .media_info file and
be called similarly. For example for a file called /some/media/file.mp4, the media_info
file will be called /some/media/file.media_info and a scenario that will seek to a position that
is known to fail would be called: /some/media/file.mp4.seek_to_failing_pos.scenario and
gst-validate-launcher will run that scenario only on that media file.

3.2 Test media accessible through other protocols:
--------------------------------------------------

Currently gst-validate-launcher supports the following protocols:

  * %s

It does not mean you can not test other protocols but it means that it has not been
properly tested.

To test medias that use those protocols, you should simply make sure that there
is a media descriptor file with .stream_info as an extension in your --media-paths.
You can generate such a file doing:

.   $gst-validate-media-check-1.0 http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/bipbopall.m3u8 --output-file /somewhere/in/you/media/path/bipbop.stream_info

Once this is done, gst-validate-launcher will run the scenarios on those media files the
same way as if they were local files.


4. Debug gst-validate-launcher execution
----------------------------------------

You can activate debug logs setting the environment variable GST_VALIDATE_LAUNCHER_DEBUG.

.   $GST_VALIDATE_LAUNCHER_DEBUG=6 gst-validate-launcher

It uses the same syntax as PITIVI_DEBUG (more information at:
https://developer.pitivi.org/Bug_reporting.html#debug-logs).

    In the module if you want to work with a specific test manager(s) (for example,
    'ges' or 'validate'), you should define the TEST_MANAGER variable in the
    testsuite file (it can be a list of test manager names)

    In this file you should implement a setup_tests function. That function takes
    a TestManager and the GstValidateLauncher option as parameters and return True
    if it succeeded loading the tests, False otherwise.
    You will be able to configure the TestManager with its various methods. This
    function will be called with each TestManager usable, for example you will be
    passed the 'validate' TestManager in case the GstValidateManager launcher is
    available. You should configure it using:

    * test_manager.add_scenarios: which allows you to register a list of scenario names to be run
    * test_manager.set_default_blacklist: Lets you set a list of tuple of the form:
            (@regex_defining_blacklister_test_names, @reason_for_the_blacklisting)
    * test_manager.add_generators: which allows you to register a list of #GstValidateTestsGenerator
        to be used to generate tests
    * test_manager.add_encoding_formats:: which allows you to register a list #MediaFormatCombination to be used for transcoding tests

    You can also set default values with:
        * test_manager.register_defaults: Sets default values for all parametters
        * test_manager.register_default_test_generators: Sets default values for the TestsGenerators to be used
        * test_manager.register_default_scenarios: Sets default values for the scenarios to be executed
        * test_manager.register_default_encoding_formats: Sets default values for the encoding formats to be tested
