.SH NAME
libinput\-test\-suite \- run the libinput test suite
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B libinput test\-suite [OPTIONS]
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.B "libinput test\-suite"
command runs the libinput test suite.
Its primary purpose is to verify distribution composes after package updates. Test
suite failures usually indicate missing patches and/or incompatible lower
system layers.
.PP
.B The test suite should not be run by users. Data loss is possible.
.PP
The test suite must be run as root. The test suite installs several files
on the host system (see section \fBFILES\fR), runs system commands and
creates virtual kernel devices via uinput. These devices will interfere with
any active session and may cause data loss.
.PP
It is recommended that the test suite is run in a virtual machine and/or on
a system not otherwise in use. A graphical environment is not required to
run the test suite.

.SH OPTIONS
Note that the options may change in future releases of libinput. Test names,
test device names and test group names may change at any time.
.TP 8
.B \-\-filter\-test \fI"testname"\fB
A glob limiting the tests to run. Specifying a filter sets the
\fB\-\-jobs\fR default to 1.
.TP 8
.B \-\-filter\-device \fI"devicename"\fB
A glob limiting the devices to run tests for. Specifying a filter sets the
\fB\-\-jobs\fR default to 1.
.TP 8
.B \-\-filter\-group \fI"groupname"\fB
A glob limiting the tests to (arbitrarily named) groups. Specifying a filter sets the
\fB\-\-jobs\fR default to 1.
.TP 8
.B \-\-filter\-deviceless
\fBFOR INTERNAL USE ONLY\fR
.TP 8
.B \-h, \-\-help
Print help
.TP 8
.B \-j, \-\-jobs 8
Number of parallel processes to run. Default: 8.
.TP 8
.B \-\-list
List all test cases and the devices they are run for. Test names, test device
names and test group names may change at any time.
.TP 8
.B \-\-verbose
Enable verbose output, including libinput debug messages.
.SH FILES
The following directories are modified:

.TP 8
.B @LIBINPUT_DATA_DIR@
Test device-specific quirks are installed in this directory with a custom
prefix. Files in this directory are untouched but new files are installed
and removed on exit. Existing files (e.g. from a previous aborted run) with
the same name will be silently overwritten and removed.
.TP 8
.B /run/udev/rules.d
Test-specific udev rules are installed in this directory and removed on
exit.
.PP
.SH SYSTEM SETUP
The \fBxorg.conf.d(5)\fR snippet below ensures the X server ignores the test
devices created by this test suite:
.PP
.RS 4
.nf
.B "Section ""InputClass""
.B "        Identifier ""Ignore libinput test suite devices""
.B "        MatchProduct ""litest""
.B "        Option ""Ignore"" ""on""
.B "EndSection"
.fi
.RE
.PP
No configuration is required for Wayland compositors. libinput's default
mode will ignore test devices from this test suite.
.SH BUGS
Some tests are sensitive to timing. Where a system is under heavy load,
a test may fail. Re-running the test with \fB\-\-filter-test\fR can help
verify whether a test case failure was a true failure.
.SH LIBINPUT
Part of the
.B libinput(1)
suite
