# Native package-runtime fixtures These fixtures exercise the compiled package test binary, rather than a subprocess-per-assertion harness. Build the bootstrap tools once with `make all`, then run the focused cases from the repository root: ```sh out/bin/ww test test/package/runtime/success_test.ww out/bin/ww test -c -o /tmp/ww-runtime-test test/package/runtime/success_test.ww /tmp/ww-runtime-test 'alpha*' 'delta*' /tmp/ww-runtime-test -list /tmp/ww-runtime-test -list 'gamma*' /tmp/ww-runtime-test -timeout-ms=50 'alpha*' out/bin/ww test test/package/runtime/fail_test.ww out/bin/ww test test/package/runtime/multiple_fail_test.ww out/bin/ww test test/package/runtime/expected_abort_return_test.ww out/bin/ww test test/package/runtime/premature_exit_test.ww out/bin/ww test test/package/runtime/signal_test.ww out/bin/ww test -c -o /tmp/ww-runtime-timeout test/package/runtime/timeout_test.ww /tmp/ww-runtime-timeout -timeout-ms=50 out/bin/ww test -c -o /tmp/ww-runtime-descendant test/package/runtime/lingering_descendant_test.ww /tmp/ww-runtime-descendant -timeout-ms=250 out/bin/ww test -c -o /tmp/ww-runtime-escaped test/package/runtime/escaped_descendant_test.ww /tmp/ww-runtime-escaped -timeout-ms=250 ``` The success fixture reports two ordinary passes, one expected-abort pass, and one skip with its reason. The preserved test binary accepts repeated glob arguments directly. List mode prints selected names without starting tests. Each test has a 30-second default timeout; `-timeout-ms=N` selects a positive per-test timeout up to one hour for a direct test-binary invocation. The current runtime recognizes `expectabort(); os.exit(nonzero)` as an expected abort because WW's abort primitive itself terminates with a normal exit status; the ABI cannot distinguish those two paths without a future abort hook. The assertion, multiple-failure, unmet-expected-abort, premature-exit, and signal fixtures fail respectively with a normal exit, two failures whose process status is still clamped to 1, an expected abort that never happens, an incomplete completion record, and signal 15; none may be mistaken for a pass. The timeout fixture fails deterministically as `FAIL(timeout)`. The lingering descendant fixture passes without waiting on the inherited control-pipe writer: the descendant blocks SIGTERM, so the runner exercises its grace period and SIGKILL escalation before draining the record. The escaped-descendant fixture moves its inherited writer into another process group for one second. The framed nonblocking protocol returns immediately after the test leader and owned group complete; it never waits for pipe EOF.
