Arne Schwabe 8fa8a17528 Implement '--compress migrate' to migrate to non-compression setup
This option allow migration to a non compression server config while
still retraining compatibility with client that have a compression
setting in their config.

For existing setups that used to have comp-lzo no or another
compression setting in their configs it is a difficult to migrate to
a setup without compression without replacing all client configs at
once especially if OpenVPN 2.3 or earlier clients are in the mix that
do not support pushing stub-v2. Even with OpenVPN 2.4 and later clients
that support pushing this is not a satisfying solution as the clients
log occ mismatches and the "push stub-v2" needs to be in the server
config "forever".

If the new migrate option to compress is set and  a client is detected
that indicates that compression is used (via OCC), the server will
automatically add ``--push compress stub-v2`` to the client specific
configuration if stub-v2 is supported by the client and otherwise
switch to ``comp-lzo no`` and add ``--push comp-lzo`` to the client
specific configuration.

Patch v2: better commit message/man page, add USE_COMP ifdefs, various
          style fixes

Unit Tests

This directory contains unit tests for openvpn. New features/bugfixes should be written in a test friendly way and come with corresponding tests.

Run tests

Tests are run by make check. A failed tests stops test execution. To run all tests regardless of errors call make -k check.

Add new tests to existing test suite

Test suites are organized in directories. example_test/ is an example for a test suite with two test executables. Feel free to use it as a template for new tests.

Test suites

Test suites live inside a subdirectory of $ROOT/tests/unit_tests, e.g. $ROOT/tests/unit_tests/my_feature.

Test suites are configured by a Makefile.am. Tests are executed by testdrivers. One testsuite can contain more than one testdriver.

Hints

  • Name suites & testdrivers in a way that the name of the driver says something about which component/feature is tested
  • Name the testdriver executable *_testdriver. This way it gets picked up by the default .gitignore
    • If this is not feasible: Add all output to a .gitignore* Use descriptive test names: coffee_brewing__with_no_beans__fails vs. test34
  • Testing a configurable feature? Wrap test execution with a conditional (see auth_pam for an example)
  • Add multiple test-drivers when one testdriver looks crowded with tests

New Test Suites

  1. Organize tests in folders for features.
  2. Add the new test directory to SUBDIRS in Makefile.am
  3. Edit configure.ac and add the new Makefile to AC_CONFIG_FILES
  4. Run ./configure, and enable the feature you'd like to test
  5. Make sure that make check runs your tests
  6. Check: Would a stranger be able to easily find your tests by you looking at the test output?
  7. Run ./configure, and disable the feature you'd like to test
  8. Make sure that make check does not run your tests
