Before this change _invalid_pc_placeholder pointed to address of _init function from crti.o This made GDB input a bit confusing: 0x40080400 in _init () (gdb) bt #0 0x40080400 in _init () #1 0x400e519a in test_instr_fetch_prohibited () at /home/alex/git/esp-idf/tools/test_apps/system/panic/main/test_panic.c:271 #2 0x400d89a7 in app_main () at /home/alex/git/esp-idf/tools/test_apps/system/panic/main/test_app_main.c:116 #3 0x400e5f22 in main_task (args=0x0) at /home/alex/git/esp-idf/components/freertos/app_startup.c:208 #4 0x400895a8 in vPortTaskWrapper (pxCode=0x400e5eb0 <main_task>, pvParameters=0x0) at /home/alex/git/esp-idf/components/freertos/FreeRTOS-Kernel/portable/xtensa/port.c:139 After the change GDB prints output that contains a hint: _invalid_pc_placeholder () at /home/alex/git/esp-idf/components/xtensa/xtensa_vectors.S:2235 2235 UNREACHABLE_INSTRUCTION_CHECK_PREVIOUS_FRAMES (gdb) bt #0 _invalid_pc_placeholder () at /home/alex/git/esp-idf/components/xtensa/xtensa_vectors.S:2235 #1 0x400e519e in test_instr_fetch_prohibited () at /home/alex/git/esp-idf/tools/test_apps/system/panic/main/test_panic.c:271 #2 0x400d89ab in app_main () at /home/alex/git/esp-idf/tools/test_apps/system/panic/main/test_app_main.c:116 #3 0x400e5f26 in main_task (args=0x0) at /home/alex/git/esp-idf/components/freertos/app_startup.c:208 #4 0x400895a8 in vPortTaskWrapper (pxCode=0x400e5eb4 <main_task>, pvParameters=0x0) at /home/alex/git/esp-idf/components/freertos/FreeRTOS-Kernel/portable/xtensa/port.c:139
Test Apps
This directory contains a set of ESP-IDF projects to be used as tests only, which aim to exercise various configuration of components to check completely arbitrary functionality should it be building only, executing under various conditions or combination with other components, including custom test frameworks.
The test apps are not intended to demonstrate the ESP-IDF functionality in any way.
Test Apps projects
Test applications are treated the same way as ESP-IDF examples, so each project directory shall contain
- Build recipe in cmake and the main component with app sources
- Configuration files,
sdkconfig.ciand similar (see below) - Python test scripts,
pytest_....py(optional)
Test Apps layout
The test apps should be grouped into subdirectories by category. Categories are:
protocolscontains test of protocol interactions.networkcontains system network testssystemcontains tests on the internal chip features, debugging and development tools.securitycontains tests on the chip security features.
CI Behavior
Configuration Files
For each project in test_apps (and also examples):
- If a file
sdkconfig.ciexists then it's built as thedefaultCI config. - If any additional files
sdkconfig.ci.<CONFIG>exist then these are built as alternative configs, with the specified<CONFIG>name.
The CI system expects to see at least a "default" config, so add sdkconfig.ci before adding any sdkconfig.ci.CONFIG files.
- By default, every CI configurations is built for every target SoC (an
m * nconfiguration matrix). However if anysdkconfig.ci.*file contains a line of the formCONFIG_IDF_TARGET="targetname"then that CI config is only built for that one target. This only works insdkconfig.ci.CONFIG, not in the defaultsdkconfig.ci. - Each configuration is also built with the contents of any
sdkconfig.defaultsfile or a file namedsdkconfig.defaults.<TARGET>appended. (Same as a normal ESP-IDF project build.)
Test Apps local execution
Some of the examples have pytest_....py scripts that are using the pytest as the test framework. For detailed information, please refer to the "Run the Tests Locally" Section under ESP-IDF tests in Pytest documentation
