Once installed the tests can be run in two modes:
As an application on an X11 supporting desktop:
$ mir-test-tools.<test>
As "owner" of a virtual terminal:
$ sudo mir-test-tools.<test>
mir-test-tools.qt-test runs a simple Qt client and reports if it fail
mir-test-tools.sdl2-test runs an SDL2 client and reports if it fail
mir-test-tools.gtk3-test runs a gtk3+ client and reports if it fail
mir-test-tools.performance-test runs the Mir performance tests and reports if any fail
mir-test-tools.smoke-test runs each of the example Mir clients and reports any that fail. (This is mostly legacy as it tests mirclient support, not Wayland.)
mir-test-tools.bash is a debugging aid: it starts a bash session with the environment set up for the tests.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 42.3, Leap 15 and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Leap 15 users, for example, can do this with the following command:
Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15.0 for either openSUSE_Leap_42.3 or openSUSE_Tumbleweed if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
Snap can now be installed with the following:
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable snapd
sudo systemctl start snapd
Tumbleweed users also need to run the following:
sudo systemctl enable snapd.apparmor
sudo systemctl start snapd.apparmor
To install mir-test-tools, simply use the following command:
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
