2020-10-21perl: check for perl warnings while running testsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
We set "use warnings" in most of our perl code to catch problems. But as the name implies, warnings just emit a message to stderr and don't otherwise affect the program. So our tests are quite likely to miss that warnings are being spewed, as most of them do not look at stderr. We could ask perl to make all warnings fatal, but this is likely annoying for non-developers, who would rather have a running program with a warning than something that refuses to work at all. So instead, let's teach the perl code to respect an environment variable (GIT_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) to increase the severity of the warnings. This can be set for day-to-day running if people want to be really pedantic, but the primary use is to trigger it within the test suite. We could also trigger that for every test run, but likewise even the tests failing may be annoying to distro builders, etc (just as -Werror would be for compiling C code). So we'll tie it to a special test-mode variable (GIT_TEST_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) that can be set in the environment or as a Makefile knob, and we'll automatically turn the knob when DEVELOPER=1 is set. That should give developers and CI the more careful view without disrupting normal users or packagers. Note that the mapping from the GIT_TEST_* form to the GIT_* form in test-lib.sh is necessary even if they had the same name: the perl scripts need it to be normalized to a perl truth value, and we also have to make sure it's exported (we might have gotten it from the environment, but we might also have gotten it from GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS directly).

2013-05-09Git::SVN::*: add missing "NAME" section to perldocLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+2
lexgrog(1) relies on the NAME section to find a manpage's subject's name and description for easy access later using "man -k". Add the section it expects. Noticed using lintian. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2012-12-17git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend and use Git->prompt method for querying usersLibravatar Sven Strickroth1-9/+7
git-svn reads usernames and other user queries from an interactive terminal. This cause GUIs (w/o STDIN connected) to hang waiting forever for git-svn to complete (http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/issues/detail?id=967). This change extends the Git::prompt helper, so that it can also be used for non password queries, and makes use of it instead of using hand-rolled prompt-response code that only works with the interactive terminal.

2012-12-17git-svn, perl/Git.pm: add central method for prompting passwordsLibravatar Sven Strickroth1-19/+1
git-svn reads passwords from an interactive terminal or by using GIT_ASKPASS helper tool. This cause GUIs (w/o STDIN connected) to hang waiting forever for git-svn to complete (http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/issues/detail?id=967). Commit 56a853b62c0ae7ebaad0a7a0a704f5ef561eb795 also tried to solve this issue, but was incomplete as described above. Instead of using hand-rolled prompt-response code that only works with the interactive terminal, a reusable prompt() method is introduced in this commit.

2012-05-29git-svn: move Git::SVN::Prompt into its own fileLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+202
git-svn.perl is very long (around 6500 lines) and although it is nicely split into modules, some new readers do not even notice --- it is too distracting to see all this functionality collected in a single file. Splitting it into multiple files would make it easier for people to read individual modules straight through and to experiment with components separately. Let's start with Git::SVN::Prompt. For simplicity, we install this as a module in the standard search path, just like the existing Git and Git::I18N modules. In the process, add a manpage explaining its interface and that it is not likely to be useful for other projects to avoid confusion.
