--- LyXtest ---
This is a program to spam LyX with millions of randomly generated key
presses, and collect the crash results.
Since the code involves spamming random keypresses, I'd recommend
running it in a VM, well away from your main X windows session.
In short, to use this, move this directory LT into your LyX source directory
(e.g. lyx-1.6.x, but not lyx-1.6.x/src). Then run LT/lyx_make.sh
It requires the following packages to run
xvkbd wmctrl
the following are also useful:
lyx libqt4-dbg subversion automake
It is run by running ./autolyx in one xterm, and ./test.py in another.
I wrote lyx_make.sh as a easy way of updating lyx and running these two
programs together.
CONTENTS:
README: this readme file
report.sh: A quick way of generating bug reports and an overview from the logs.
autolyx: A script to continually restart lyx and collect the bug reports
lyx_make.sh: should updates, compiles, and everything needed to generated logs.
maketar.sh: Makes this tar file :)
test.py: Sends LT100 randomly generated keypresses per second to the LyX window.
killtest: stop the testing
stock_text: The stock test to add to each bug report.
OUTPUTS:
autolyx: Outputs out/GDB, a log of all output, including backtraces.
test.py: Outputs out/KEYCODES, a list of all keycodes sent to LyX
reports.sh: Outputs
out/overview: an overview of all the frequency of each error
out/overview_sort: as above but sorted
out/report_*: A collection of autogenerated bug reports.
