I'm trying to setup some testing of our job_submit.lua plugin so I can
verify that changes I make to it don't break anything.
I looked into luaunit for testing, and that seems like it would do what
I need....let me set the value of inputs, call the slurm_job_submit()
function with them, and then evaluate the results.
But the setting of inputs is causing me issues. I know plenty of C, and
very little of Lua. I see that the slurm_job_submit() function gets
passed a job_desc_msg_t variable or pointer (or at least, I ASSUME it's
that) and somehow knows what's inside it, even though "slurm.h" isn't
included anywhere. When I try to create a local variable of that type
and set some values in it, it doesn't go well.
Is there an easier way to unit test that file and the slurm_job_submit()
function in particular?
FWIW, I've written about my experiences with the job_submit.lua plugin
in the Wiki page
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_configuration/#job-submit-plugins
My example plugin at
https://github.com/OleHolmNielsen/Slurm_tools/tree/master/plugins may
perhaps serve as inspiration.
Maybe you'll find some of that information useful?
