KTAP v1 only specifies the output format of very basic test information: test result and test name. Any additional test information either gets added to general diagnostic data or is not included in the output at all. The purpose of KTAP metadata is to create a framework to include and easily identify additional important test information in KTAP. KTAP metadata could include any test information that is pertinent for user interaction before or after the running of the test. For example, the test file path or the test speed. Since this includes a large variety of information, this specification will recognize notable types of KTAP metadata to ensure consistent format across test frameworks. See the full list of types in the specification. Example of KTAP Metadata: KTAP version 2 #:ktap_test: main #:ktap_arch: uml 1..1 KTAP version 2 #:ktap_test: suite_1 #:ktap_subsystem: example #:ktap_test_file: lib/test.c 1..2 ok 1 test_1 #:ktap_test: test_2 #:ktap_speed: very_slow # test_2 has begun #:custom_is_flaky: true ok 2 test_2 # suite_1 has passed ok 1 suite_1 The changes to the KTAP specification outline the format, location, and different types of metadata.

See the +individual specification. For "custom" types the can be any +string excluding ":", spaces, or newline characters and the can be any +string. + +**Location:** + +The first KTAP metadata line for a test must be "#:ktap_test: ", +which acts as a header to associate metadata with the correct test. Metadata +for the main KTAP level uses the test name "main". A test's metadata ends +with a "ktap_test" line for a different test. + +For test cases, the location of the metadata is between the prior test result +line and the current test result line. For test suites, the location of the +metadata is between the suite's version line and test plan line.

For example, a kernel +warning or other diagnostic output could interrupt metadata lines. However, it +is recommended to keep a test's metadata lines in the correct location and +together when possible, as this improves readability. + +**Example of KTAP metadata:** + +:: + + KTAP version 2 + #:ktap_test: main + #:ktap_arch: uml + 1..1 + KTAP version 2 + #:ktap_test: suite_1 + #:ktap_subsystem: example + #:ktap_test_file: lib/test.c + 1..2 + # WARNING: test_1 skipped + ok 1 test_1 # SKIP + #:ktap_test: test_2 + #:ktap_speed: very_slow + # test_2 has begun + #:custom_is_flaky: true + ok 2 test_2 + # suite_1 passed + ok 1 suite_1 + +In this example, the tests are running on UML.

The subtest "test_2" has a speed of +"very_slow" and has been marked with a custom KTAP metadata type called +"custom_is_flaky" with the value of "true". + +**Inheritance of KTAP metadata** + +Tests can inherit KTAP metadata. A child test inherits all the parent test's +KTAP metadata except for directly opposing metadata. For example, if a suite +has a property of "#:ktap_speed: slow", all child test cases are also marked as +slow. However, if one of the test cases has metadata of "#:ktap_speed: +very_slow" then that test case would be marked as very_slow instead and not +slow. + +Note if a test case inherits metadata it does not need to appear as a line in +the KTAP.

However, it is allowed because the line is +still below "#:ktap_test: test_2" and above any other ktap_test lines. + +This second example shows metadata in the correct location but without the +proper header. + +:: + + KTAP version 2 + 1..1 + KTAP version 2 + #:ktap_test: suite_1 + 1..2 + not ok 1 test_1 + #:ktap_speed: very_slow + ok 2 test_2 + ok 1 suite_1 + +In this example, the metadata "#:ktap_speed: very_slow" is meant to belong to +test_2.
