= Running regression

In case you did some changes in code and/or want to check some new NIC, you can run our regression:

. Create TRex config file:
    sudo ./dpdk_setup_ports.py -i
. Run TRex daemon:
    sudo ./trex_daemon_server start
. Make a copy of directory with setup parameters:
    automation/regression/setups/trex07
. Update yaml files in that directory if needed
. Run full regression: +
./run_regression --cfg ./automation/regression/setups/<new dir>

[NOTE]
=====================================
* Running specific test: +
./run_regression --cfg ./automation/regression/setups/<new dir> -t <part of test name>

* Running *only stateless tests* can be done without waiting for TRex server to be brought up each time: +
** Run in one shell the interactive server: sudo ./t-rex-64 -i
** Run in another shell the regression with flags: --stl --no-daemon

* Specifying setup directory can be done only once with environment variable SETUP_DIR, for example: +
export SETUP_DIR=trex07
