ipptoolfile(5)

NAME
ipptoolfile - ipptool file format

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 continue with subsequent tests.

INCLUDE "filename"

INCLUDE <filename>
    Includes another test file. 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-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 chunked 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 ipptool 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 predicates.

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 variable is or is not defined.

SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR yes

SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR no
    Specifies whether ipptool will skip the current test if the previous 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 PREDICATES" 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 values.

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.
