[Gluster-devel] Cmockery2 in GlusterFS

[Luis Pabón]

Hi all,
     A few months ago, the unit test framework based on cmockery2 was in 
the repo for a little while, then removed while we improved the 
packaging method.  Now support for cmockery2 ( 
http://review.gluster.org/#/c/7538/ ) has been merged into the repo 
again.  This will most likely require you to install cmockery2 on your 
development systems by doing the following:

* Fedora/EPEL:
$ sudo yum -y install cmockery2-devel

* All other systems please visit the following page: 
https://github.com/lpabon/cmockery2/blob/master/doc/usage.md#installation

Here is also some information about Cmockery2 and how to use it:

* Cmockery2 Usage Guide:

* Using Cmockery2 with GlusterFS:

When starting out writing unit tests, I would suggest writing unit tests 
for non-xlator interface files when you start.  Once you feel more 
comfortable writing unit tests, then move to writing them for the 
xlators interface files.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
