Tutorial for setting up these tests for a specific adaptor --Setting config file for specific adaptors Under each section for a package that an adaptor fulfills, set the path and name of the adaptor accordingly. For example, if you were setting up a tests of the default file adaptor: [file_adaptor_test] ... adaptor_name = default_file adaptor_path = /developing/adaptors/default_file The adaptor name will be appended to look as follows libsaga_adaptor_[adaptor_name].[shared library extension] Other properties apply as described in the README To guarantee that the adaptor is using the correct scheme and host to function properly, the config file allows the user to set this directly under the properties section. Continuing under the same example: [file_adaptor_test.adaptor_name.properties] adaptor_path = /developing/adaptors/default_file scheme = file host = localhost Where adaptor_name is specific for each adaptor needed by the test. The adaptor_path is needed in both sections The urls to be generated by the adaptor (or in some cases by the test, if the adaptor has not implemented the test helper class) will have the host and scheme set to the above values ex. /tmp/file_XX -> file://localhost/temp/file_XX Note: If you are testing just one adaptor, it is probably best to disable all other test.
