[BUILD] Introduce "eosio_validate.sh"

[ghost]

Goals

• Simplify the build validation
• Get concise problem-feedback via zero-effort standardized logs

Implementation

Similar to eosio_build.sh and the newly introduced eosio_install.sh, an eosio_validate.sh should be provided.

Functionality

• [TEST] Detect Running 'nodeos' and 'keosd' Processes #4918 - Cleanup data & processes from previous test-runs - (optional, can be added later)
• Launch mongodb
• Run the test-suite
• Ensure that tests provide progress-feedback, see Build validation mongo issues #4656 (comment)
• Provide a log-file, ideally allowing multiple runs (like eosio_validate_TIME.log)
• Provide additionally a compressed log-file, if log is above git-hub-issue-attachment limit

Usage

./eosio_build.sh
sudo ./eosio_install.sh
./eosio_validate.sh

Hi Guys:

I see no eosio_validate Script on the new build:
./eosio_validate.sh: No such file or directory

Is this a New Proposal not yet Implemented?

I'm Using Version 1.2.2 and going through the Build Test HELL that I See It's not exclusive for me.

Am I Missing Something? Is the Validation Script available somewhere?

Thanks :)

@hernanarber , if an issue is still open, it means usually that the functionality it affects is not yet implemented.

Build Test HELL

You can try the docker based installations. If you go with build, then the usual way to test/validate is:

cd build
make tests
# or to get some feedback on test-failure
ctest --output-on-failure
