The qmtest create-tdb command creates a new, empty test database. A test database is a directory in which QMTest stores configuration files, tests, and other data. Certain test database classes may also store data elsewhere, such as in an external relational database.
The test database is created in the directory specified by
--tdb (-D) option or by
setting the QMTEST_DB_PATH environment variable.
If no database path is specified, QMTest assumes that the
current directory is the test database.
By default, QMTest creates a new test database that uses the standard XML-based implementation. (See Section 5, “Writing Database Classes” for information about writing a test database class.)
The create-tdb command accepts these options:
-a name=value,
--attribute
name=value
Set the database attribute
name to
value. The set of attribute names
and valid values is dependent on the database class in use.
The default database class accepts no attributes.
-c class,
--class class
Use the test database class given by
class. The
class may have the general form
described in Section 2, “qmtest create”. Once you create a
test database, you cannot change the test database
implementation it uses. If you do not use this option,
QMTest will use the default test database implementation,
which uses an XML file format to store tests.
