Orkney Arguments

Orkney can be invoked using the following arguments

Short-Argument	Long-Argument	Description
-?	--help	show help and usage information.
-i <input resource dir>	--input <input resource dir>	use input resource directory (instead of work/resource).
-l <report dir>	--log <report dir>	use log report directory for plain text and xml logs (instead of work/report).
-p <text report dir>	--plain <text report dir>	use plain text report directory (instead of work/report/log).
-t <test dir>	--test <test dir>	use test group / case directory (instead of work/tests).
-v	--verbose	show progress during execution.
-w <work directory>	--work <work directory>	use given working directory (instead of work).
-x <xml report dir>	--xml <xml report dir>	use xml report directory (instead of work/report/xml).

The simpliest invocation uses the working directory option "-w" to start Orkney. In this case the following directories are supposed to exist below this working directory:

tests - the directory with test groups and YAML test cases
input - the directory with all test data read by the test steps

Orkney will create the following directories on test execution:

output - all output files that are created by logging steps in order to log data to files
report - the Orkney report directory with two sub directories

report/log - the directory with text report files
report/xml - the directory with XML report files

For every Orkney input and output directory an own option exists to overwrite the default location and use a specific location instead. Have a look to the options table above to understand each of them.

Orkney Exit Values

The program will exit using the following values
    0: all tests successful
    1: parsing errors
    2: help screen
    3: at least one test failed
