Log:
This patch, created against r17653, adds a new test to the Samba 4 build system test suite. 'make wintest' tests Samba as a client against Windows as a server, and Samba as a server against Windows as a client. The output format is appropriate for running on the build farm, which can be seen at http://build.samba.org/?function=View+Build;host=bnhtest;tree=samba4;compiler=gcc

This framework runs as root without socket wrappers enabled. It uses expect scripts to interact with a Windows server telnet session, and perl along with VMware's vmperl and vix-perl API's to manage the VMWare host and Windows virtual machine. In situations where a test fails, the Windows VM is reloaded from a known good snapshot to ensure that the next test runs against a clean environment.

In order to test this patch, a Windows virtual machine has to be setup in VMWare server, preferably configured using the vm_setup.tar.gz package in my SVN branch at svn.samba.org. I tested this patch using Windows 2003.

There are a few things in my work that could use more attention. Currently, the VMWare server needs to be configured to revert to its snapshot on a power off event, rather than directly triggered using the vix-perl api. As well, tighter integration with the Samba build farm is possible, for example rather than formatting its own output, this framework could work within the build farm testit() routine in test_functions.sh. I plan to work on these areas in the near future, as well as any which come up after.


Thanks,
Brad
