GstValidate environment variables

GstValidate environment variables — The environment variable variable influencing the run of GstValidate

The runtime behaviour of GstValidate applications can be influenced by a number of environment variables.

GST_VALIDATE This environment variable can be set to a list of debug options, which cause GstValidate to print out different types of test result information and consider differently the level of the reported issues.

fatal-criticals

Causes GstValidate to consider only critical issues as import enough to consider the test failed (default behaviour)

fatal-warnings

Causes GstValidate to consider warning, and critical issues as import enough to consider the test failed

fatal-issues

Causes GstValidate to consider issue, warning, and critical issues as import enough to consider the test failed

print-issues

Causes GstValidate to print issue, warning and critical issues in the final reports (default behaviour)

print-warnings

Causes GstValidate to only print warning and critical issues in the final reports

print-criticals

Causes GstValidate to only print critical issues in the final reports

GST_VALIDATE_FILE Set this variable to a to a colon-separated list of paths to redirect all GstValidate messages to this file. If left unset, debug messages will be outputed into the standard error. You can use the special names "stdout" and "stderr" to use those output.

GST_VALIDATE_SCENARIOS_PATH Set this variable to a to a colon-separated list of paths. GstValidate will scan these paths for GstValidate scenario files. By default GstValidate will look for scenarios in the user data directory as specified in the XDG standard: .local/share/gstreamer-1.0/validate-scenario and the system wide user data directory: /usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/validate-scenario

GST_VALIDATE_OVERRIDE Set this variable to a to a colon-separated list of dynamically linkable files. GstValidate will scan these paths for GstValidate overrides By default GstValidate will look for scenarios in the user data directory as specified in the XDG standard: .local/share/gstreamer-1.0/validate-scenario and the system wide user data directory: /usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/validate-scenario
