This library performs checks on the installed system to verify which optional components are available and whether all libraries that load shared objects/DLLs can be loaded.

 component(?Component, -Features) is nondet[private]

This predicate describes the test components. Features is a dict with the following components:

test:Goal

(Additional) test that must succeed for the component to be functional.

url:URL

URL with additional information, relative to http://www.swi-prolog.org/build/issues/. If not provided, the library file with extension .html is used.

optional:true

If the library does not exist, do not complain.

os:OS

One of windows, unix or linux. If present, the component is only checked for if we are running on a version of the specified operating system.

features:Goal

After successful evaluation that loading and basic operation of the component succeeds, run this to check additional features.

 check_installation

Check features of the installed system. Performs the following tests:

1. Test whether features that depend on optional libraries are present (e.g., unbounded arithmetic support)
2. Test that all standard libraries that depend on foreign code are present.
3. provides a test_installation predicate to run the tests at runtime if the system was built with -DINSTALL_TESTS

If issues are found it prints a diagnostic message with a link to a wiki page with additional information about the issue.

 check_installation(-Issues:list(pair)) is det

As check_installation/0, but additionally returns a list of Component-Problem pairs. Problem is one of optional_not_found (optional component is not present), not_found (component is not present) or failed (component is present but cannot be loaded).

 test_component(+Properties) is semidet[private]

Run additional tests to see whether the component really works.

 check_features(+Properties) is semidet[private]

Check for additional features of the components.

See also

- check_component/1 should be used for checking that the component works.

 run_silent(:Goal, +Properties) is semidet[private]

Succeed if Goal succeeds and does not print any errors or warnings.

 run_collect_messages(Goal, Result, Messages) is det[private]

Run Goal, unify Result with true, false or exception(Error) and messages with a list of generated error and warning messages. Each message is a term:

message(Term,Kind,Lines)

See also

- message_hook/3.

 test_tcmalloc[private]

 archive_features[private]

Report features supported by library(archive).

 pcre_features[private]

 jquery_file[private]

Test whether jquery.js can be found

 check_on_path[private]

Validate that Prolog is installed in $PATH. Only performed if the running executable is a normal executable file, assuming some special installation such as the WASM version otherwise.

 test_installation is semidet

 test_installation(+Options) is semidet

Run regression tests in the installed system. Requires the system to be built using

cmake -DINSTALL_TESTS=ON

Options processed:

packages(+Boolean)

When false, do not test the packages

package(+Package)

Only test package package.

 check_config_files

Examines the locations of config files. The config files have moved in version 8.1.15

 update_config_files

Move config files from their old location to the new if the file or directory exists in the old location but not in the new.

Undocumented predicates

The following predicates are exported, but not or incorrectly documented.
