| qbt |
| === |
| |
| `qbt` is a command to execute test-patch without a patch. It uses |
| the same plug-ins and the same options as test-patch. The only |
| difference is that no patch file, location, etc should be supplied. |
| It is meant to be a way to easily get test-patch's output on your |
| current source tree. It is suitable to be run as a regularly |
| scheduled build as part of your overall development strategy. |
| |
| When using an automation tool, it may be useful to use the |
| `--console-report-file` option to send the summary email to a |
| file. This can then be used with systems like Jenkin's |
| email-ext plug-in to send the output as an emailed report: |
| |
| ``` |
| ${FILE,path="<report-file-path>"} |
| ``` |
| |
| For something a bit more structured, there is also the `--html-report-file` |
| option. Using this output, again with Jenkins' email-ext plug-in, it is |
| possible to build some very nice looking output that is easily customized: |
| |
| ``` |
| <html> |
| <head> |
| <style> |
| table { |
| border-collapse: collapse; |
| } |
| table, th, td { |
| border: 1px solid black; |
| } |
| tr:nth-child(even){background-color: #f2f2f2} |
| </style> |
| </head> |
| <body> |
| <p>See the <a href="${BUILD_URL}">Jenkins Build</a> for more information.</p> |
| <p>${CHANGES, format="<div>[%d] (%a) %m</div>"}</p> |
| <p></p> |
| ${FILE,path="<report-file-path>"} |
| </body></html> |
| ``` |
