3.3 Configuring MIN via the MIN Test Framework initialization file

MIN has an initialization file that is used to set the MIN functionality. Currently initialization file contains paths for searching test modules and configuration files, defaults for MIN logger and the used test modules.

An example of the initialization file is shown below.

     [Engine_Defaults]
     ModSearchPath=/usr/lib/min
     ModSearchPath=$HOME/.min
     [End_Defaults]
     [New_Module]
     ModuleName=/home/user/.min/exampleModule.so
     TestCaseFile=/home/user/.min/Example.cfg
     [End_Module]
     
     [Logger_Defaults]
     EmulatorBasePath=/tmp
     EmulatorFormat=TXT
     EmulatorOutput=FILE SYSLOG
     ThreadIdToLogFile=NO
     [End_Logger_Defaults]

Table below shows the possible settings in the min.conf file.

Tag Description Optional/Required
TmcBinPath Path of TMC (absolute path, detected automatically) Optional
ModuleName Path of test library/libraries (absolute path if the module is not in a location specified in ModSearchPaths) Required
ConfigFile
TestCaseFile A configuration / test case file where the test cases are defined.
There can be several configuration / test case files for one test module Optional

Tag	Description	Optional/Required

Table below shows the possible logger settings in the min.conf file.
