* | test-lib: add LIBPCRE1 & LIBPCRE2 prerequisitesÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2017-11-24
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add LIBPCRE1 and LIBPCRE2 prerequisites which are true when git is compiled with USE_LIBPCRE1=YesPlease or USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease, respectively. The syntax of PCRE1 and PCRE2 isn't the same in all cases (see pcresyntax(3) and pcre2syntax(3)). If test are added that test for those they'll need to be guarded by these new prerequisites. The subsequent patch will make use of LIBPCRE2, so LIBPCRE1 isn't strictly needed for now, but let's add it for consistency and so that checking for it doesn't have to be done with the less obvious "PCRE, !LIBPCRE2", which while semantically the same is more confusing, and would lead to bugs if PCRE v3 is ever released as the tests would mean v1, not any non-v2 version.

* test-lib: rename the LIBPCRE prerequisite to PCREÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2017-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename the LIBPCRE prerequisite to PCRE. This is for preparation for libpcre2 support, where having just "LIBPCRE" would be confusing as it implies v1 of the library. None of these tests are incompatible between versions 1 & 2 of libpcre, it's less confusing to give them a more general name to make it clear that they work on both library versions.

* Merge branch 'jk/tap-verbose-fix'Junio C Hamano2016-10-26
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Travis CI configuration we ship ran the tests with --verbose option but this risks non-TAP output that happens to be "ok" to be misinterpreted as TAP signalling a test that passed. This resulted in unnecessary failure. This has been corrected by introducing a new mode to run our tests in the test harness to send the verbose output separately to the log file. * jk/tap-verbose-fix: test-lib: bail out when "-v" used under "prove" travis: use --verbose-log test option test-lib: add --verbose-log option test-lib: handle TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY with spaces

This is useful for examining the output manually, like: ./t5547-push-quarantine.sh -v | less But it also means that the output is intermingled with the TAP directives, which can confuse a TAP parser like "prove". This has always been a potential problem, but became an issue recently when one test happened to output the word "ok" on a line by itself, which prove interprets as a test success: $ prove t5547-push-quarantine.sh :: -v t5547-push-quarantine.sh .. 1/?

Files=1, Tests=5, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.01 usr + 0.01 sys = 0.02 CPU) Result: FAIL One answer is "if it hurts, don't do it", but that's not quite the whole story. The Travis tests use "--verbose --tee" so that they can get the benefit of prove's parallel options, along with a verbose log in case there is a failure. We just need the verbose output to go to the log, but keep stdout clean. Getting this right turns out to be surprisingly difficult. Here's the progression of alternatives I considered: 1. Add an option to write verbose output to stderr. This is hard to capture, though, because we want each test to have its own log (because they're all run in parallel and the jumbled output would be useless). 2. Add an option to write verbose output to a file in test-results. This works, but the log is missing all of the non-verbose output, which gives context. 3. Like (2), but teach say_color() to additionally output to the log. This mostly works, but misses any output that happens outside of the say() functions (which isn't a lot, but is a potential maintenance headache). 4. Like (2), but make the log file the same as the "--tee" file. That almost works, but now we have two processes opening the same file. That gives us two separate descriptors, each with their own idea of the current position. They'll each start writing at offset 0, and overwrite each other's data. 5. Like (4), but in each case open the file for appending. That atomically positions each write at the end of the file. It's possible we may still get sheared writes between the two processes, but this is already the case when writing to stdout. It's not a problem in practice because the test harness generally waits for snippets to finish before writing the TAP output. We can ignore buffering issues with tee, because POSIX mandates that it does not buffer. Likewise, POSIX specifies "tee -a", so it should be available everywhere. This patch implements option (5), which seems to work well in practice. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Unfortunately, it can also _cause_ failures in some tests that redirect the stderr of a shell function. Inside the function the shell continues to respect "set -x", and the trace output is collected along with whatever stderr is generated normally by the function. You can see an example of this by running: ./t0040-parse-options.sh -x -i which will fail immediately in the first test, as it expects: test_must_fail some-cmd 2>output.err to leave output.err empty (but with "-x" it has our trace output). Unfortunately there isn't a portable or scalable solution to this. We could teach test_must_fail to disable "set -x", but that doesn't help any of the other functions or subshells. However, we can work around it by pointing the "set -x" output to our descriptor 4, which always points to the original stderr of the test script. Unfortunately this only works for bash, but it's better than nothing (and other shells will just ignore the BASH_XTRACEFD variable). The patch itself is a simple one-liner, but note the caveats in the accompanying comments. Automatic tests for our "-x" option may be a bit too meta (and a pain, because they are bash-specific), but I did confirm that it works correctly both with regular "-x" and with "--verbose-only=1". This works because the latter flips "set -x" off and on for particular tests (if it didn't, we would get tracing for all tests, as going to descriptor 4 effectively circumvents the verbose flag).

* t/test-lib: introduce --chain-lint optionJeff King2015-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's easy to miss an "&&"-chain in a test script, like: test_expect_success 'check something important' ' cmd1 && cmd2 cmd3 ' The test harness will notice if cmd3 fails, but a failure of cmd1 or cmd2 will go unnoticed, as their exit status is lost after cmd3 runs. The toy example above is easy to spot because the "cmds" are all the same length, but real code is much more complicated. It's also difficult to detect these situations by statically analyzing the shell code with regexps (like the check-non-portable-shell script does); there's too much context required to know whether a &&-chain is appropriate on a given line or not. This patch instead lets the shell check each test by sticking a command with a specific and unusual return code at the top of each test, like: (exit 117) && cmd1 && cmd2 cmd3 In a well-formed test, the non-zero exit from the first command prevents any of the rest from being run, and the test's exit code is 117. In a bad test (like the one above), the 117 is lost, and cmd3 is run. When we encounter a failure of this check, we abort the test script entirely. For one thing, we have no clue which subset of the commands in the test snippet were actually run. Running further tests would be pointless, because we're now in an unknown state. And two, this is not a "test failure" in the traditional sense. The test script is buggy, not the code it is testing. We should be able to fix these problems in the script once, and not have them come back later as a regression in git's code. After checking a test snippet for --chain-lint, we do still run the test itself. We could actually have a pure-lint mode which just checks each test, but there are a few reasons not to. One, because the tests are executing arbitrary code, which could impact the later environment (e.g., that could impact which set of tests we run at all). And two, because a pure-lint mode would still be expensive to run, because a significant amount of code runs outside of the test_expect_* blocks. Instead, this option is designed to be used as part of a normal test suite run, where it adds very little overhead. Turning on this option detects quite a few problems in existing tests, which will be fixed in subsequent patches. However, there are a number of places it cannot reach: - it cannot find a failure to break out of loops on error, like: cmd1 && for i in a b c; do cmd2 $i done && cmd3 which will not notice failures of "cmd2 a" or "cmd b" - it cannot find a missing &&-chain inside a block or subfunction, like: foo () { cmd1 cmd2 } foo && bar which will not notice a failure of cmd1. - it only checks tests that you run; every platform will have some tests skipped due to missing prequisites, so it's impossible to say from one run that the test suite is free of broken &&-chains. However, all tests get run by _somebody_, so eventually we will notice problems. - it does not operate on test_when_finished or prerequisite blocks. It could, but these tends to be much shorter and less of a problem, so I punted on them in this patch. This patch was inspired by an earlier patch by Jonathan Nieder: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/235913 This implementation and all bugs are mine.

* | test-lib.sh: support -x option for shell-tracingJeff King2014-10-13

However, sometimes it can be useful to also see a complete trace of the shell commands being run in the test. You can do so without any support from the test suite by running "sh -x tXXXX-foo.sh". However, this produces quite a large bit of output, as we see a trace of the entire test suite. This patch instead introduces a "-x" option to the test scripts (i.e., "./tXXXX-foo.sh -x"). When enabled, this turns on "set -x" only for the tests themselves. This can still be a bit verbose, but should keep things to a more manageable level. You can even use "--verbose-only" to see the trace only for a specific test. The implementation is a little invasive. We turn on the "set -x" inside the "eval" of the test code. This lets the eval itself avoid being reported in the trace (which would be long, and redundant with the verbose listing we already showed). And then after the eval runs, we do some trickery with stderr to avoid showing the "set +x" to the user. We also show traces for test_cleanup functions (since they can impact the test outcome, too). However, we do avoid running the noop ":" cleanup (the default if the test does not use test_cleanup at all), as it creates unnecessary noise in the "set -x" output.

Later, we found that some systems really prefer to use $PERL_PATH even for these basic cases, because the system perl misbehaves in some way (e.g., by handling line endings differently). We then switched "perl" invocations to "$PERL_PATH" to respect the user's choice. Having to use "$PERL_PATH" is ugly and cumbersome, though. Instead, let's provide a perl() shell function that tests can use, which will transparently do the right thing. Unfortunately, test writers still have to use $PERL_PATH in certain situations, so we still need to keep the advice in the README. Note that this may fix test failures in t5004, t5503, t6002, t6003, t6300, t8001, and t8002, depending on your system's perl setup.

* | t/README: test_must_fail is for testing GitJunio C Hamano2013-06-04
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | When a test wants to make sure there is no <string> in an output file, we should just say "! grep string output". "test_must_fail" is there only to test Git command and catch unusual deaths we know about (e.g. segv) as an error, not as an expected failure. "test_must_fail grep string output" is unnecessary, as we are not making sure the system binaries do not dump core or anything like that. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* | tests --valgrind: provide a mode without --track-originsThomas Rast2013-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With --valgrind=memcheck-fast, the tests run under memcheck but without the autodetected --track-origins. If you just run valgrind to see *if* there is any memory issue with your program, the extra information is not needed, and it comes at a roughly 30% hit in runtime. While it is possible to achieve the same through GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS, this should be more discoverable and hopefully encourage more users to run their tests with valgrind.

* | tests: parameterize --valgrind optionThomas Rast2013-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Running tests under helgrind and DRD recently proved useful in tracking down thread interaction issues. This can unfortunately not be done through GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS because any tool other than memcheck would complain about unknown options. Let --valgrind take an optional parameter that describes the valgrind tool to invoke. The default mode is to run memcheck as before.

| * Remove Git's support for smoke testingÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2012-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm no longer running the Git smoke testing service at smoke.git.nix.is due to Smolder being a fragile piece of software not having time to follow through on making it easy for third parties to run and submit their own smoke tests. So remove the support in Git for sending smoke tests to smoke.git.nix.is, it's still easy to modify the test suite to submit smokes somewhere else. This reverts the following commits: Revert "t/README: Add SMOKE_{COMMENT,TAGS}= to smoke_report target" -- e38efac87d Revert "t/README: Document the Smoke testing" -- d15e9ebc5c Revert "t/Makefile: Create test-results dir for smoke target" -- 617344d77b Revert "tests: Infrastructure for Git smoke testing" -- b6b84d1b74 Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | test-lib: add the test_pause convenience functionJens Lehmann2012-01-17
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 781f76b15 (test-lib: redirect stdin of tests) you can't simply put a "bash &&" into a test for debugging purposes anymore. Instead you'll have to use "bash <&6 >&3 2>&4". As that invocation is not that easy to remember add the test_pause convenience function. It invokes "$SHELL_PATH" to provide a sane shell for the user. This function also checks if the -v flag is given and will error out if that is not the case instead of letting the test hang until ^D is pressed.
