Next: perror procedure, Previous: get_warning_threshold procedure, Up: Core Internal Procedures [Contents][Index]
Declares detection of a minor error in the test case itself.
warning writes in the log files a message beginning with
WARNING, appending the argument string. Use
warning rather than perror for cases (such as
communication failure to be followed by a retry) where the test case
can recover from the error. If the optional number is
supplied, then this is used to set the internal count of warnings to
that value.
As a side effect, warning_threshold or more calls to warning in
a single test case also changes the effect of the next pass or
fail command: the test outcome becomes UNRESOLVED since
an automatic PASS or FAIL may not be trustworthy after
many warnings. If the optional numeric value is 0, then there
are no further side effects to calling this function, and the
following test outcome doesn’t become UNRESOLVED. This can be
used for errors with no known side effects.
warning messsage number
messageThe warning message.
numberThe optional number to set the error counter. This is only used to
fake out the counter when using the xfail procedure to control
when it flips the output over to UNRESOLVED state.
