Wireshark Tests
The main testing script is `test.py`. It will attempt to test as much as
possible by default, including packet capture. This means that you will
probably either have to supply a capture interface (`--capture-interface
<interface>`) or disable capture tests (`--disable-capture`). You must
also build the test-programs target in order for the unittests suite to
pass.
To run all tests from CMake do the following:
- Pass `-DTEST_EXTRA_ARGS=--disable-capture` or
`-DTEST_EXTRA_ARGS=--capture-interface=<interface>`
as needed for your system.
- Build the “test” target or run ctest, e.g. `ctest --force-new-ctest-process -j 4 --verbose`.
To run all tests directly, run `test.py -p
/path/to/wireshark-build/run-directory <capture args>`.
To see a list of all options, run `test.py -h` or `test.py --help`.
To see a list of all tests, run `test.py -l`.
See the “Wireshark Tests” chapter of the Developer's Guide for details.
