5 | # Code Quality Tools |
6 | ||
7 | The systemd project has a number of code quality tools set up in the source | |
8 | tree and on the github infrastructure. Here's an incomprehensive list of the | |
9 | available functionality: | |
10 | ||
11 | 1. Use `ninja -C build test` to run the unit tests. Some tests are skipped if | |
12 | no privileges are available, hence consider also running them with `sudo | |
13 | ninja -C build test`. A couple of unit tests are considered "unsafe" (as | |
14 | they change system state); to run those too, build with `meson | |
15 | -Dtests=unsafe`. Finally, some unit tests are considered to be very slow, | |
16 | build them too with `meson -Dslow-tests=true`. (Note that there are a couple | |
17 | of manual tests in addition to these unit tests.) | |
18 | ||
19 | 2. Use `./test/run-integration-tests.sh` to run the full integration test | |
20 | suite. This will build OS images with a number of integration tests and run | |
21 | them in nspawn and qemu. Requires root. | |
22 | ||
23 | 3. Use `./coccinelle/run-coccinelle.sh` to run all | |
24 | [Coccinelle](http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) semantic patch scripts we ship. The | |
25 | output will show false positives, hence take it with a pinch of salt. | |
26 | ||
27 | 4. Use `./tools/find-double-newline.sh recdiff` to find double newlines. Use | |
28 | `./tools/find-double-newline.sh recpatch` to fix them. Take this with a grain | |
29 | of salt, in particular as we generally leave foreign header files we include in | |
30 | our tree unmodified, if possible. | |
31 | ||
32 | 5. Similar use `./tools/find-tabs.sh recdiff` to find TABs, and | |
33 | `./tools/find-tabs.sh recpatch` to fix them. (Again, grain of salt, foreign | |
34 | headers should usually be left unmodified.) | |
35 | ||
e5988600 | 36 | 6. Use `ninja -C build check-api-docs` to compare the list of exported |
7c2c028c LP |
37 | symbols of `libsystemd.so` and `libudev.so` with the list of man pages. Symbols |
38 | lacking documentation are highlighted. | |
39 | ||
40 | 7. Use `ninja -C build hwdb-update` to automatically download and import the | |
41 | PCI, USB and OUI databases into hwdb. | |
42 | ||
43 | 8. Use `ninja -C build man/update-man-rules` to update the meson rules for | |
44 | building man pages automatically from the docbook XML files included in | |
45 | `man/`. | |
46 | ||
47 | 9. There are multiple CI systems in use that run on every github PR submission. | |
48 | ||
49 | 10. [Coverity](https://scan.coverity.com/) is analyzing systemd master in | |
50 | regular intervals. The reports are available | |
51 | [online](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/systemd). | |
52 | ||
53 | 11. [oss-fuzz](https://oss-fuzz.com/) is continuously fuzzing the | |
54 | codebase. Reports are available | |
55 | [online](https://oss-fuzz.com/v2/testcases?project=systemd). | |
56 | ||
8b9e4b21 | 57 | 12. Our tree includes `.editorconfig`, `.dir-locals.el` and `.vimrc` files, to |
5cadf58e | 58 | ensure that editors follow the right indentiation styles automatically. |

60 | 13. When building systemd from a git checkout the build scripts will | |
5cadf58e | 61 | automatically enable a git commit hook that ensures whitespace cleanliness. |
8b9e4b21 | 62 | |
8cc9d188 | 63 | 14. [LGTM](https://lgtm.com/) analyzes every commit pushed to master. The list |
00195abc FB |
64 | of active alerts can be found |
65 | [here](https://lgtm.com/projects/g/systemd/systemd/alerts/?mode=list). | |

67 | Access to Coverity and oss-fuzz reports is limited. Please reach out to the | |
68 | maintainers if you need access. |
