What should "make check" do

[dgtlrift]

When running make check I get the following details:

============================================================================
Testsuite summary for nss-mdns 0.15.1
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 0
# PASS:  0
# SKIP:  0
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  0
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0
============================================================================

so shouldn't it run some tests?

make check is supposed to run some tests like check_util but the check package has to be installed to get it to work.

@pemensik since the CI isn't set up here (apart from compiling nss-mdns without running any tests) I think it would be great to set it up first to let it test PRs like #94.

It would be great to turn on Packit along with OpenScanHub to properly compile-test it on various architectures and let various static analyzers do their thing as well.

By adding ASan/UBSan it should be possible to catch things like

immediately.

Packit and OpenScanHub were integrated in #96 (and OpenScanHub already reported one finding https://openscanhub.fedoraproject.org/task/29697/log/added.html so it seems to be working). Since the check package is installed there Packit runs check_util.

The GitHub action doesn't run any tests because the check package is missing.

( nss-test and avahi-test aren't run anywhere. clang, ASan/UBsan, Coverity and CodeQL are missing as well but Packit is a good start anyway)

[evverx]

nss-mdns is tested in the avahi repository now: avahi/avahi#768 and there all sorts of things are run.

The Ubuntu action here doesn't run anything because the check package isn't installed

2025-11-23T07:13:44.0264496Z checking for check >= 0.11... no

I'll add the bug label because it's a CI bug essentially.
