The BootRefFile processor is used to query for and download boot data reference files, for use with boot time regression tests. Boot data reference files have the same format as boot-time data files.

When called on a page, the processor block contains a boot-data filename, and it returns data about the scores of all ref files, and the best match, from all available ref files, for doing regression testing analysis for the specified file.

Processor arguments are:

• bd_file={filename} - boot data file to match

Example usage:

{{{#!BootRefFile
bd_file=boot-data-timslab-bp1-250123-184721.txt
}} }

To use this processor to find a reference value file for testing purposes, use the 'query' action. You can do this with a URL as follows: curl https://birdcloud.org/boot-time/FrontPage?action=BootRefFile.query&bd_file={filename}&count=999 What you get in return will be a single line indicating status, and a list of URLS and scores, sorted by highest score at the top. The count argument indicates a maximum number of entries to return.
