FlockLab Command Line Tool

👉 Remark: this command line tool is deprecated. We recommend to use the flocklab-tools instead (python based).

For automating FlockLab tests, a command line tool based on cURL is provided:

Setting it up

A config file with the login credentials for FlockLab (same as for web interface) needs to exist in the user's home directory in order to use the command line tool:

Config file in ~/.flocklabauth:

USER=<your username>
PASSWORD=<your password>

Usage

usage: ./flocklab [OPTION]

OPTIONS:
   -v <testconfig.xml>: validate test config
   -c <testconfig.xml>: create / schedule new test
   -a <testid>:         abort test
   -d <testid>:         delete test
   -g <testid>:         get test results (via https)
   -o <platform>:       get a list of the currently available (online) observers
   -p:                  get a list of the available platforms
   -h:                  display help

For the commands -g and -f, the download directory can be specified as an additional argument.

Adjust settings

Some additional settings can be adjusted in the script itself:

DEST=${3:-/tmp/flocklab}  # destination directory (if not specified, the default is used: /tmp/flocklab)
EXTRACT=1                 # extract results?
TESTCONFIG=0              # also download XML test config?
