Testing

OpenMeta treats metadata parsing as security-sensitive code. Tests and fuzzing are part of the expected workflow for parser changes.

Unit tests (GoogleTest)

cmake -S . -B build-tests -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
  -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/mnt/f/UBSd -DOPENMETA_BUILD_TESTS=ON
cmake --build build-tests
ctest --test-dir build-tests --output-on-failure

If your test dependencies were built against libc++ (common with Clang), configure OpenMeta with -DOPENMETA_USE_LIBCXX=ON.

Fuzzing

libFuzzer targets (Clang):

cmake -S . -B build-fuzz -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DOPENMETA_BUILD_FUZZERS=ON
cmake --build build-fuzz
ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 ./build-fuzz/openmeta_fuzz_exif_tiff_decode -max_total_time=60

Corpus runs

If you pass corpus directories to libFuzzer, it treats the first directory as the main corpus and may add/reduce files there. To avoid modifying your seed corpus, use an empty output directory first:

mkdir -p build-fuzz/_corpus_out
ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 ./build-fuzz/openmeta_fuzz_container_scan \
  build-fuzz/_corpus_out \
  /path/to/seed-corpus-a /path/to/seed-corpus-b \
  -runs=1000

Public in-tree seed corpus:

mkdir -p build-fuzz/_corpus_out
ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 ./build-fuzz/openmeta_fuzz_container_scan \
  build-fuzz/_corpus_out \
  tests/fuzz/corpus/container_scan \
  -runs=1000

The container_scan seed set includes BMFF iloc method-2 relation cases (valid v1 iref mapping, missing mapping, out-of-range extent_index, and idx_size=0 reference mismatch).

FuzzTest targets (when available):

cmake -S . -B build-fuzztest -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
  -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/mnt/f/UBSd -DOPENMETA_BUILD_FUZZTEST=ON -DOPENMETA_FUZZTEST_FUZZING_MODE=ON
cmake --build build-fuzztest
ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0 ./build-fuzztest/openmeta_fuzztest_metastore --fuzz_for=10s

CLI smoke gates

Public-tree smoke targets (self-contained, no external corpus required):

cmake --build build-tests --target openmeta_gate_metavalidate_smoke
ctest --test-dir build-tests -R openmeta_cli_metavalidate_smoke --output-on-failure

cmake --build build-tests --target openmeta_gate_metaread_safe_text_smoke

These gates provide fast regression checks for safe-output and validation behavior. Corpus-scale compare/baseline gates are expected to run in project CI or release validation workflows.

Interop adapter tests

Adapter-focused tests in the public tree:

cmake --build build-tests --target openmeta_tests
./build-tests/openmeta_tests --gtest_filter='InteropExport.*:OiioAdapter.*:OcioAdapter.*'
./build-tests/openmeta_tests --gtest_filter='CrwCiffDecode.*'

These tests cover:

  • alias/spec name-policy behavior in InteropExport,

  • OIIO/OCIO adapter export stability,

  • CRW/CIFF derived EXIF mapping for legacy Canon RAW.
