DexExpectProgramState
DexExpectProgramState(state [,**times])
Args:
state (dict): { 'frames': [
{
# StackFrame #
'function': name (str),
'is_inlined': bool,
'location': {
# SourceLocation #
'lineno': int,
'path': str,
'column': int,
},
'watches': {
expr (str): value (str),
expr (str): {
'value': str,
'type_name': str,
'could_evaluate': bool,
'is_optimized_away': bool,
'is_irretrievable': bool,
}
},
}
]}
Keyword args:
times (int): Minimum number of times this state pattern is expected to
be seen. Defaults to 1. Can be 0.
Description
Expect to see a given program state
a certain number of times
.
For every debugger step the reported state is compared with the expected state. To consider the states a match:
- The
SourceLocation
must match in both states. Omitted fields in theSourceLocation
dictionary are ignored; they always match. - Each
expr
inwatches
in the expected state can either be a dictionary with the fields shown above, or a string representing its value. In either case, the actual value ofexpr
in the debugger must match. - The function name and inline status are not considered.

DexExpectStepKind
DexExpectStepKind(kind, times)
Args:
kind (str): Expected step kind.
times (int): Expected number of encounters.
Description
Expect to see a particular step kind
a number of times
while stepping
through the program.
kind
must be one of:
FUNC
: The first step into a function which is defined in the test
directory.
FUNC_EXTERNAL
: A step over a function which is not defined in the test
directory.
FUNC_UNKNOWN
: The first step over a function an unknown definition
location.
VERTICAL_FORWARD
: A step onto a line after the previous step line in this
frame.
VERTICAL_BACKWARD
: A step onto a line before the previous step line in
this frame.
HORIZONTAL_FORWARD
: A step forward on the same line as the previous step in
this frame.
HORIZONTAL_BACKWARD
: A step backward on the same line as the previous step
in this frame.
SAME
: A step onto the same line and column as the previous step in this
frame.
Heuristic
[TODO]
DexExpectStepOrder
DexExpectStepOrder(*order)
Arg list:
order (int): One or more indices.
Description
Expect the line every DexExpectStepOrder
is found on to be stepped on in
order
. Each instance must have a set of unique ascending indices.
Heuristic
[TODO]
DexExpectWatchType
DexExpectWatchType(expr, *types [,**from_line=1][,**to_line=Max]
[,**on_line][,**require_in_order=True])
Args:
expr (str): expression to evaluate.
Arg list:
types (str): At least one expected type. NOTE: string type.
Keyword args:
from_line (int): Evaluate the expression from this line. Defaults to 1.
to_line (int): Evaluate the expression to this line. Defaults to end of
source.
on_line (int): Only evaluate the expression on this line. If provided,
this overrides from_line and to_line.
require_in_order (bool): If False the values can appear in any order.
Description
Expect the expression expr
to evaluate be evaluated and have each evaluation's
type checked against the list of types
Heuristic
[TODO]
DexExpectWatchValue
DexExpectWatchValue(expr, *values [,**from_line=1][,**to_line=Max]
[,**on_line][,**require_in_order=True])
Args:
expr (str): expression to evaluate.
Arg list:
values (str): At least one expected value. NOTE: string type.
Keyword args:
from_line (int): Evaluate the expression from this line. Defaults to 1.
to_line (int): Evaluate the expression to this line. Defaults to end of
source.
on_line (int): Only evaluate the expression on this line. If provided,
this overrides from_line and to_line.
require_in_order (bool): If False the values can appear in any order.
Description
Expect the expression expr
to evaluate to the list of values
sequentially.
Heuristic
[TODO]
DexUnreachable
DexUnreachable()
Description
Expect the source line this is found on will never be stepped on to.
Heuristic
[TODO]
DexLimitSteps
DexLimitSteps([expr, *values][, **from_line=1][,**to_line=Max]
[,**on_line][,**hit_count])
Args:
expr (str): variable or value to compare.
Arg list:
values (str): At least one potential value the expr may evaluate to.
Keyword args:
from_line (int): Define the start of the limited step range.
to_line (int): Define the end of the limited step range.
on_line (int): Define a range with length 1 starting and ending on the
same line.
hit_count (int): If provided, limit the number of times the command
triggers.
Description
Define a limited stepping range that may be predicated on a condition. When the leading line is stepped on and any condition '(expr) == (values[n])' is true or there are no conditions, set a range of temporary breakpoints within the test file defined by the range 'from_line' and 'to_line' or 'on_line'. This only happens 'hit_count' number of times if the argument is provided.
The condition is only evaluated on the line 'from_line' or 'on_line'. If the condition is not true at the start of the range, or that line is never stepped onto, the whole range is ignored.
DexLimitSteps commands are useful for reducing the amount of steps gathered in large test cases that would normally take much longer to complete.
DexLabel
DexLabel(name [, **on_line])
Args:
name (str): A unique name for this line.
Keyword args:
on_line (int): Specify a line number to label.
Description
Name the line this command is found on or 'on_line' if it is provided. Line
names can be converted to line numbers with the ref(str)
function. For
example, DexExpectWatchValues(..., on_line=ref('my_line_name'))
. Use
arithmetic operators to get offsets from labels:
DexExpectWatchValues(..., on_line=ref('my_line_name') + 3)
DexExpectWatchValues(..., on_line=ref('my_line_name') - 5)
Heuristic
This command does not contribute to the heuristic score.
DexDeclareFile
DexDeclareFile(declared_file)
Args:
name (str): A declared file path for which all subsequent commands
will have their path attribute set too.
Description
Set the path attribute of all commands from this point in the test onwards. The new path holds until the end of the test file or until a new DexDeclareFile command is encountered. Used in conjunction with .dex files, DexDeclareFile can be used to write your dexter commands in a separate test file avoiding inlined Dexter commands mixed with test source.
Heuristic
This command does not contribute to the heuristic score.
DexWatch
DexWatch(*expressions)
Arg list:
expressions (str): `expression` to evaluate on this line.
Description
[Deprecated] Evaluate each given expression
when the debugger steps onto the
line this command is found on.
