DESCRIPTION
The ipptool(1) program accepts free-form plain text files that describe
one or more IPP requests. Comments start with the "#" character and
continue to the end of the line. Each request is enclosed by curley
braces, for example:
# This is a comment
{
# The name of the test
NAME "Print PostScript Job"
# The request to send
OPERATION Print-Job
GROUP operation-attributes-tag
ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8
ATTR language attributes-natural-language en
ATTR uri printer-uri $uri
ATTR name requesting-user-name $user
FILE testfile.ps
# The response to expect
STATUS successful-ok
EXPECT attributes-charset OF-TYPE charset
EXPECT attributes-natural-language OF-TYPE naturalLanguage
EXPECT job-id OF-TYPE integer
EXPECT job-uri OF-TYPE uri
}
{
# The name of the test
NAME "Get Attributes of PostScript Job"
# The request to send
OPERATION Get-Job-Attributes
GROUP operation-attributes-tag
ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8
ATTR language attributes-natural-language en
ATTR uri printer-uri $uri
ATTR integer job-id $job-id
ATTR name requesting-user-name $user
# The response to expect
STATUS successful-ok
EXPECT attributes-charset OF-TYPE charset
EXPECT attributes-natural-language OF-TYPE naturalLanguage
EXPECT job-id OF-TYPE integer
EXPECT job-uri OF-TYPE uri
EXPECT job-state OF-TYPE enum
EXPECT job-originating-user-name OF-TYPE name WITH-VALUE "$user"
}
TOP-LEVEL DIRECTIVES
The following directives can be used outside of a test:
{ test }
Defines a test.
DEFINE variable-name value
Defines the named variable to the given value. This is equivalent
to specifying "-d variable-name=value" on the ipptool command-
line.
DEFINE-DEFAULT variable-name value
Defines the named variable to the given value if it does not
already have a value.
IGNORE-ERRORS yes
IGNORE-ERRORS no
Specifies whether, by default, ipptool will ignore errors and con‐
tinue with subsequent tests.
INCLUDE "filename"
INCLUDE <filename>
Includes another test file. The first form includes a file rela‐
tive to the current test file, while the second form includes a
file from the ipptool include directory.
INCLUDE-IF-DEFINED name "filename"
INCLUDE-IF-DEFINED name <filename>
Includes another test file if the named variable is defined. The
first form includes a file relative to the current test file,
while the second form includes a file from the ipptool include
directory.
INCLUDE-IF-NOT-DEFINED name "filename"
INCLUDE-IF-NOT-DEFINED name <filename>
Includes another test file if the named variable is not defined.
The first form includes a file relative to the current test file,
while the second form includes a file from the ipptool include
directory.
SKIP-IF-DEFINED variable-name
SKIP-IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Specifies that the remainder of the test file should be skipped
when the variable is or is not defined.
TRANSFER auto
Specifies that tests will, by default, use "Transfer-Encoding:
chunked" for requests with attached files and "Content-Length:"
for requests without attached files.
TRANSFER chunked
Specifies that tests will, by default, use the HTTP/1.1 "Transfer-
Encoding: chunked" header. This is the default and is equivalent
to specifying "-c" on the ipptool command-line. Support for chun‐
ked requests is required for conformance with all versions of IPP.
TRANSFER length
Specifies that tests will, by default, use the HTTP/1.0 "Content-
Length:" header. This is equivalent to specifying "-l" on the ipp‐
tool command-line. Support for content length requests is
required for conformance with all versions of IPP.
VERSION 1.0
VERSION 1.1
VERSION 2.0
VERSION 2.1
VERSION 2.2
Specifies the default IPP version number to use for the tests that
follow.
TEST DIRECTIVES
The following directives are understood in a test:
ATTR tag attribute-name value(s)
Adds an attribute to the test request. Values are separated by the
comma (",") character - escape commas using the "
ATTR collection attribute-name { MEMBER tag member-name value(s) ... }
[ ... { ... } ]
Adds a collection attribute to the test request. Member attributes
follow the same syntax as regular attributes and can themselves be
nested collections. Multiple collection values can be supplied as
needed.
DELAY seconds
Specifies a delay before this test will be run.
DISPLAY attribute-name
Specifies that value of the named attribute should be output as
part of the test report.
EXPECT attribute-name [ predicate(s) ]
EXPECT ?attribute-name predicate(s)
EXPECT !attribute-name
Specifies that the response must/may/must not include the named
attribute. Additional requirements can be added as predicates -
see the "EXPECT PREDICATES" section for more information on predi‐
cates.
FILE filename
Specifies a file to include at the end of the request. This is
typically used when sending a test print file.
GROUP tag
Specifies the group tag for subsequent attributes in the request.
IGNORE-ERRORS yes
IGNORE-ERRORS no
Specifies whether ipptool will ignore errors and continue with
subsequent tests.
NAME "literal string"
Specifies the human-readable name of the test.
OPERATION operation-code
Specifies the operation to be performed.
REQUEST-ID number
REQUEST-ID random
Specifies the request-id value to use in the request, either an
integer or the word "random" to use a randomly generated value
(the default).
RESOURCE path
Specifies an alternate resource path that is used for the HTTP
POST request. The default is the resource from the URI provided
to the ipptool program.
SKIP-IF-DEFINED variable-name
SKIP-IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Specifies that the current test should be skipped when the vari‐
able is or is not defined.
SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR yes
SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR no
Specifies whether ipptool will skip the current test if the previ‐
ous test resulted in an error/failure.
STATUS status-code [ predicate ]
Specifies an expected response status-code value. Additional
requirements can be added as predicates - see the "STATUS PREDI‐
CATES" section for more information on predicates.
TRANSFER auto
Specifies that this test will use "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" if
it has an attached file or "Content-Length:" otherwise.
TRANSFER chunked
Specifies that this test will use the HTTP/1.1 "Transfer-Encoding:
chunked" header.
TRANSFER length
Specifies that this test will use the HTTP/1.0 "Content-Length:"
header.
VERSION 1.0
VERSION 1.1
VERSION 2.0
VERSION 2.1
VERSION 2.2
Specifies the IPP version number to use for this test.
EXPECT PREDICATES
The following predicates are understood following the EXPECT test
directive:
COUNT number
Requires the EXPECT attribute to have the specified number of val‐
ues.
DEFINE-MATCH variable-name
Defines the variable to "1" when the EXPECT condition matches. A
side-effect of this predicate is that this EXPECT will never fail
a test.
DEFINE-NO-MATCH variable-name
Defines the variable to "1" when the EXPECT condition does not
match. A side- effect of this predicate is that this EXPECT will
never fail a test.
DEFINE-VALUE variable-name
Defines the variable to the value of the attribute when the EXPECT
condition matches. A side-effect of this predicate is that this
EXPECT will never fail a test.
IF-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the EXPECT conditions apply only if the specified variable
is defined.
IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the EXPECT conditions apply only if the specified variable
is not defined.
IN-GROUP tag
Requires the EXPECT attribute to be in the specified group tag.
OF-TYPE tag[,tag,...]
Requires the EXPECT attribute to use the specified value tag(s).
REPEAT-MATCH
REPEAT-NO-MATCH
Specifies that the current test should be repeated when the EXPECT
condition matches or does not match.
SAME-COUNT-AS attribute-name
Requires the EXPECT attribute to have the same number of values as
the specified parallel attribute.
WITH-VALUE "literal string"
Requires at least one value of the EXPECT attribute to match the
literal string. Comparisons are case-sensitive.
WITH-VALUE "/regular expression/"
Requires that all values of the EXPECT attribute match the regular
expression, which must conform to the POSIX regular expression
syntax. Comparisons are case-sensitive.
STATUS PREDICATES
The following predicates are understood following the STATUS test
directive:
IF-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the STATUS apply only if the specified variable is defined.
IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the STATUS apply only if the specified variable is not
defined.
REPEAT-MATCH
REPEAT-NO-MATCH
Specifies that the current test should be repeated when the
response status-code matches or does not match the value specified
by the STATUS directive.
