NAME

       dh_octave_check - automatically run an Octave-Forge package test suite

SYNOPSIS

       dh_octave_check

DESCRIPTION

       dh_octave_check performs the automated tests present in both *.m and C++ files in the sub-directories of
       the current directory, which should be the top-level source directory of an Octave add-on package.  It
       also runs the script debian/check.m, if it exists.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       Some aspects of the execution of dh_octave_check can be controlled through the environment variables
       listed below.  These variables can also be set in file "debian/checkvars", which is sourced by
       dh_octave_check.

       DH_OCTAVE_EXCLUDE_TEST
           A space-separated list with the the names of the files whose unit tests should not be run.

       DH_OCTAVE_TEST_OPT
           The  optional  second argument for Octave’s test function.  Allowed values are "quiet", "normal", and
           "verbose".

       DH_OCTAVE_TEST_ENV
           Prefix for calling the Octave command.  It can be used for setting environment variables to  Sensible
           values  (for  instance  "LD_PRELOAD=")  and specifying another program under which Octave must be run
           (like "xvfb-run").

       octave
           Name of the Octave binary to run (defaults to "octave-cli").

       octave_options
           Command   line   options   for   Octave   (defaults   to   "--no-history   --silent    --no-init-file
           --no-window-system").

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7),      dh(1),      dh_octave_substvar(1),      dh_octave_clean(1),      dh_octave_version(1),

       This program is meant to be used together with debhelper for Debian packages  derived  from  Octave-Forge
       packages.   It  is  recommended  to  enable it by adding the dh-sequence-octave virtual package to Build-
       Depends, Build-Depends-Arch or Build-Depends-Indep.  This is equivalent to adding dh-octave to  the  same
       field   and   adding   --with=octave   to   the   dh   sequencer   in   debian/rules,  except  that  only
       -arch/-indep/profiled builds are affected.  This is also slightly more simple in the most common case.
