LDTP works in the following platforms:
- http://www.opensuse.org/ OpenSuSE
- http://opensolaris.org/ OpenSolaris
- http://ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu
- http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux
- http://fedora.redhat.com/ Fedora Core
- http://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD
How to write test scripts using ldtp for your module ?
- How to create LDTP test scripts in python - http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/wiki/LDTP_20test_20scripts_20in_20python
- Refer existing pyautosuite test scripts - http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/ldtp/pyautosuite
- Refer API Reference page for list of LDTP functions available - http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/user-doc/index.html
How to use LDTP for applications running in Localized languages?
- Identify the mo files used by the application
- Use bindtext in the script for each mo file identified as shown below
Example: For mo file with name: "/opt/gnome/share/locale/ta/LC_MESSAGES/gedit.mo"
bindtext ('gedit', '/opt/gnome/share/locale')
For mo file with name: "/opt/gnome/share/locale/ta/LC_MESSAGES/gtk20.mo"
bindtext ('gtk20', '/opt/gnome/share/locale')
- Make sure that the LANG variable is set to appropriate value
Localization limitations
- Currently only mo files are handled. We are working on it to provide support for message catalogs in other formats (example: jar, etc.,) as well.
- Searching of mo files to be used for bindtext is done only in specific folders. We have make the file search similar to gettext library.
