# Debugging Tests Tips
|
|
|
|
## How to run & execute or debug a specific test without anything else to keep the feedback loop short?
|
|
|
|
There is a script called debug-test.sh in the scripts folder whose parameter takes a REGEX and an optional test number.
|
|
|
|
For example, running the following command will output an interactive list from which you can select a test. It takes this form:
|
|
|
|
`debug-test.sh [OPTION]... <test_regex> <test_number>`
|
|
|
|
It will then build & run in the debugger for you.
|
|
|
|
To just execute a test and get back a PASS or FAIL message run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./scripts/debug-test.sh test-tokenizer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To test in GDB use the `-g` flag to enable gdb test mode.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./scripts/debug-test.sh -g test-tokenizer
|
|
|
|
# Once in the debugger, i.e. at the chevrons prompt, setting a breakpoint could be as follows:
|
|
>>> b main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To speed up the testing loop, if you know your test number you can just run it similar to below:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./scripts/debug-test.sh test 23
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For further reference use `debug-test.sh -h` to print help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How does the script work?
|
|
If you want to be able to use the concepts contained in the script separately, the important ones are briefly outlined below.
|
|
|
|
#### Step 1: Reset and Setup folder context
|
|
|
|
From base of this repository, let's create `build-ci-debug` as our build context.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm -rf build-ci-debug && mkdir build-ci-debug && cd build-ci-debug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 2: Setup Build Environment and Compile Test Binaries
|
|
|
|
Setup and trigger a build under debug mode. You may adapt the arguments as needed, but in this case these are sane defaults.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DLLAMA_CUDA=1 -DLLAMA_FATAL_WARNINGS=ON ..
|
|
make -j
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 3: Find all tests available that matches REGEX
|
|
|
|
The output of this command will give you the command & arguments needed to run GDB.
|
|
|
|
* `-R test-tokenizer` : looks for all the test files named `test-tokenizer*` (R=Regex)
|
|
* `-N` : "show-only" disables test execution & shows test commands that you can feed to GDB.
|
|
* `-V` : Verbose Mode
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ctest -R "test-tokenizer" -V -N
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This may return output similar to below (focusing on key lines to pay attention to):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
...
|
|
1: Test command: ~/llama.cpp/build-ci-debug/bin/test-tokenizer-0 "~/llama.cpp/tests/../models/ggml-vocab-llama-spm.gguf"
|
|
1: Working Directory: .
|
|
Labels: main
|
|
Test #1: test-tokenizer-0-llama-spm
|
|
...
|
|
4: Test command: ~/llama.cpp/build-ci-debug/bin/test-tokenizer-0 "~/llama.cpp/tests/../models/ggml-vocab-falcon.gguf"
|
|
4: Working Directory: .
|
|
Labels: main
|
|
Test #4: test-tokenizer-0-falcon
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 4: Identify Test Command for Debugging
|
|
|
|
So for test #1 above we can tell these two pieces of relevant information:
|
|
* Test Binary: `~/llama.cpp/build-ci-debug/bin/test-tokenizer-0`
|
|
* Test GGUF Model: `~/llama.cpp/tests/../models/ggml-vocab-llama-spm.gguf`
|
|
|
|
#### Step 5: Run GDB on test command
|
|
|
|
Based on the ctest 'test command' report above we can then run a gdb session via this command below:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gdb --args ${Test Binary} ${Test GGUF Model}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gdb --args ~/llama.cpp/build-ci-debug/bin/test-tokenizer-0 "~/llama.cpp/tests/../models/ggml-vocab-llama-spm.gguf"
|
|
```
