Litmus

litmus: WebDAV server protocol compliance test suite. Tests include:

• OPTIONS for DAV: header
• PUT, GET with byte comparison
• MKCOL
• DELETE (collections, non-collections)
• COPY, MOVE using combinations of:

• overwrite t/f
• destination exists/doesn't exist
• collection/non-collection

• Property manipulation and querying:

• set, delete, replace properties
• persist dead props across COPY
• namespace handling

• Locking

• attempts to modify locked resource (as lock owner, not owner)
• shared/exclusive locks, lock discovery

litmus comprises of a set of test suites as separate executables: each program takes a URL on the command-line, optionally followed by username and password. To run all the suites from a built litmus tree, use

make URL=http://dav.server.url/path/ check

Where http://dav.server.url/path/ is a DAV-enabled collection. litmus must be able to create a new collection called 'litmus' at that location. The Makefile variable 'CREDS' can also be defined to be a username/password separated by strings. e.g. if you have a user 'jim' defined with password '2518', use:

make URL=http://dav.server.url/path/ CREDS="jim 2518" check

To aid debugging, litmus adds a header `X-Litmus-One' to every request made. After running a test suite, the file 'debug.log' includes a full neon debugging trace (unless neon or litmus was configured without debugging enabled!).

To use after installation is complete ('make install'), run the 'litmus' script, passing in a URL, optionally followed by the username/password. For instance:

 litmus http://dav.server.url/path/

or litmus http://dav.server.url/path/ jim 2518

you can also use docker to build and run litmus:

 docker build -t litmus .
 docker run litmus http://dav.server.url/path/ jim 2518
