2021-10-08submodule: trace adding submodule ODB as alternateLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-5/+2
Submodule ODBs are never added as alternates during the execution of the test suite, but there may be a rare interaction that the test suite does not have coverage of. Add a trace message when this happens, so that users who trace their commands can notice such occurrences.

2021-09-23tests: add a test mode for SANITIZE=leak, run it in CILibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+7
While git can be compiled with SANITIZE=leak, we have not run regression tests under that mode. Memory leaks have only been fixed as one-offs without structured regression testing. This change adds CI testing for it. We'll now build and small set of whitelisted t00*.sh tests under Linux with a new job called "linux-leaks". The CI target uses a new GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true test mode. When running in that mode, we'll assert that we were compiled with SANITIZE=leak. We'll then skip all tests, except those that we've opted-in by setting "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true". A test setting "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" setting can in turn make use of the "SANITIZE_LEAK" prerequisite, should they wish to selectively skip tests even under "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true". In the preceding commit we started doing this in "t0004-unwritable.sh" under SANITIZE=leak, now it'll combine nicely with "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true". This is how tests that don't set "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" will be skipped under GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true: $ GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true ./t0001-init.sh 1..0 # SKIP skip all tests in t0001 under SANITIZE=leak, TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK not set The intent is to add more TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true annotations as follow-up change, but let's start small to begin with. In ci/run-build-and-tests.sh we make use of the default "*" case to run "make test" without any GIT_TEST_* modes. SANITIZE=leak is known to fail in combination with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=true in t0016-oidmap.sh, and we're likely to have other such failures in various GIT_TEST_* modes. Let's focus on getting the base tests passing, we can expand coverage to GIT_TEST_* modes later. It would also be possible to implement a more lightweight version of this by only relying on setting "LSAN_OPTIONS". See <YS9OT/pn5rRK9cGB@coredump.intra.peff.net>[1] and <YS9ZIDpANfsh7N+S@coredump.intra.peff.net>[2] for a discussion of that. I've opted for this approach of adding a GIT_TEST_* mode instead because it's consistent with how we handle other special test modes. Being able to add a "!SANITIZE_LEAK" prerequisite and calling "test_done" early if it isn't satisfied also means that we can more incrementally add regression tests without being forced to fix widespread and hard-to-fix leaks at the same time. We have tests that do simple checking of some tool we're interested in, but later on in the script might be stressing trace2, or common sources of leaks like "git log" in combination with the tool (e.g. the commit-graph tests). To be clear having a prerequisite could also be accomplished by using "LSAN_OPTIONS" directly. On the topic of "LSAN_OPTIONS": It would be nice to have a mode to aggregate all failures in our various scripts, see [2] for a start at doing that which sets "log_path" in "LSAN_OPTIONS". I've punted on that for now, it can be added later. As of writing this we've got major regressions between master..seen, i.e. the t000*.sh tests and more fixed since 31f9acf9ce2 (Merge branch 'ah/plugleaks', 2021-08-04) have regressed recently. See the discussion at <87czsv2idy.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com>[3] about the lack of this sort of test mode, and 0e5bba53af (add UNLEAK annotation for reducing leak false positives, 2017-09-08) for the initial addition of SANITIZE=leak.

As noted in [5] we can't support this on OSX yet until Clang 14 is released, at that point we'll probably want to resurrect that "osx-leaks" job. 1. https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerLeakSanitizer 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/YS9OT%2Fpn5rRK9cGB@coredump.intra.peff.net/ 3. https://lore.kernel.org/git/87czsv2idy.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ 4. https://lore.kernel.org/git/YS9ZIDpANfsh7N+S@coredump.intra.peff.net/ 5. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20210916035603.76369-1-carenas@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón <carenas@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2021-09-08submodule: lazily add submodule ODBs as alternatesLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+10
Teach Git to add submodule ODBs as alternates to the object store of the_repository only upon the first access of an object not in the_repository, and not when add_submodule_odb() is called. This provides a means of gradually migrating from accessing a submodule's object through alternates to accessing a submodule's object by explicitly passing its repository object. Any Git command can declare that it might access submodule objects by calling add_submodule_odb() (as they do now), but the submodule ODBs themselves will not be added until needed, so individual commands and/or combinations of arguments can be migrated one by one. [The advantage of explicit repository-object passing is code clarity (it is clear which repository an object read is from), performance (there is no need to linearly search through all submodule ODBs whenever an object is accessed from any repository, whether superproject or submodule), and the possibility of future features like partial clone submodules (which right now is not possible because if an object is missing, we do not know which repository to lazy-fetch into).] This commit also introduces an environment variable that a test may set to make the actual registration of alternates fatal, in order to demonstrate that its codepaths do not need this registration.

2021-09-07test-lib-functions: keep user's debugger config files and TERM in 'debug'Libravatar Philippe Blain1-2/+4
The 'debug' function in test-lib-functions.sh is used to invoke a debugger at a specific line in a test. It inherits the value of HOME and TERM set by 'test-lib.sh': HOME="$TRASH_DIRECTORY" and TERM=dumb. Changing the value of HOME means that any customization configured in a developers' debugger configuration file (like $HOME/.gdbinit or $HOME/.lldbinit) are not available in the debugger invoked by 'test_pause'. Changing the value of TERM to 'dumb' means that colored output is disabled in the debugger. To make the debugging experience with 'debug' more pleasant, leverage the variable USER_HOME, added in the previous commit, to copy a developer's ~/.gdbinit and ~/.lldbinit to the test HOME. We do not set HOME to USER_HOME as in 'test_pause' to avoid user configuration in $USER_HOME/.gitconfig from interfering with the command being debugged. Also, add a flag to launch the debugger with the original value of TERM, and add the same warning as for 'test_pause'.

2021-09-07test-lib-functions: optionally keep HOME, TERM and SHELL in 'test_pause'Libravatar Philippe Blain1-2/+3
The 'test_pause' function, which is designed to help interactive debugging and exploration of tests, currently inherits the value of HOME and TERM set by 'test-lib.sh': HOME="$TRASH_DIRECTORY" and TERM=dumb. It also invokes the shell defined by TEST_SHELL_PATH, which defaults to /bin/sh (through SHELL_PATH). Changing the value of HOME means that any customization configured in a developers' shell startup files and any Git aliases defined in their global Git configuration file are not available in the shell invoked by 'test_pause'. Changing the value of TERM to 'dumb' means that colored output is disabled for all commands in that shell. Using /bin/sh as the shell invoked by 'test_pause' is not ideal since some platforms (i.e. Debian and derivatives) use Dash as /bin/sh, and this shell is usually compiled without readline support, which makes for a poor interactive command line experience. To make the interactive command line experience in the shell invoked by 'test_pause' more pleasant, save the values of HOME and TERM in USER_HOME and USER_TERM before changing them in test-lib.sh, and add options to 'test_pause' to optionally use these variables to invoke the shell. Also add an option to invoke SHELL instead of TEST_SHELL_PATH, so that developer's interactive shell is used. We use options instead of changing the behaviour unconditionally since these three variables can slightly change command behaviour. Moreover, using the original HOME means commands could overwrite files in a user's home directory. Be explicit about these caveats in the new 'Usage' section in test-lib-functions.sh. Finally, add '[options]' to the test_pause synopsys in t/README, and mention that the full list of helper functions and their options can be found in test-lib-functions.sh.

2021-05-13t: avoid sed-based chain-linting in some expensive casesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
Commit 878f988350 (t/test-lib: teach --chain-lint to detect broken &&-chains in subshells, 2018-07-11) introduced additional chain-lint tests which add an extra "sed" pipeline to each test we run. This has a measurable impact on runtime. Here are timings with and without a new environment variable (added by this patch) that lets you disable just the additional sed-based chain-lint tests: Benchmark #1: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 make test Time (mean ± σ): 64.202 s ± 1.030 s [User: 622.469 s, System: 301.402 s] Range (min … max): 61.571 s … 65.662 s 10 runs Benchmark #2: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 make test Time (mean ± σ): 57.591 s ± 0.333 s [User: 529.368 s, System: 270.618 s] Range (min … max): 57.143 s … 58.309 s 10 runs Summary 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 make test' ran 1.11 ± 0.02 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 make test' Of course those extra lint checks are doing something useful, so paying a few extra seconds (at least on Linux) isn't so bad (though note the CPU time; we're bounded in our parallel run here by the slowest test, so it really is ~120s of CPU improvement). But we can observe that there are some test scripts where they produce a much stronger effect, and provide less value. In t0027 and t3070 we run a very large number of small tests, all driven by a series of functions/loops which are filling in the test bodies. There we get much less bang for our buck in terms of bug-finding versus CPU cost. This patch introduces a mechanism for controlling when those extra lint checks are run, at two levels: - a user can ask to disable or to force-enable the checks by setting GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER - if the user hasn't specified a preference, individual scripts can disable the checks by setting GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER_DEFAULT; scripts which don't set that get the current behavior of enabling them. In addition, this patch flips the default for t0027 and t3070's mass-generated sections to disable the extra checks. Here are the timing results for t0027: Benchmark #1: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh Time (mean ± σ): 17.078 s ± 0.848 s [User: 14.878 s, System: 7.075 s] Range (min … max): 15.952 s … 18.421 s 10 runs Benchmark #2: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh Time (mean ± σ): 9.063 s ± 0.759 s [User: 7.890 s, System: 3.362 s] Range (min … max): 7.747 s … 10.619 s 10 runs Benchmark #3: ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh Time (mean ± σ): 9.186 s ± 0.881 s [User: 7.957 s, System: 3.427 s] Range (min … max): 7.796 s … 10.498 s 10 runs Summary 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh' ran 1.01 ± 0.13 times faster than './t0027-auto-crlf.sh' 1.88 ± 0.18 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh' We can see that disabling the checks for the whole script buys us an almost 2x speedup. But the new default behavior, disabling them only for the mass-generated part, gets us most of that speedup (but still leaves the checks on for further manual tests people might write). As a side note, I'd caution about comparing runtimes and CPU seconds between this timing and the earlier "make test" one. In "make test", we're running a lot of scripts in parallel, so the CPU is throttling down (and thus a CPU second saved here would count for more during a parallel run; the same work takes more CPU seconds there). We get similar results for t3070: Benchmark #1: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh Time (mean ± σ): 20.054 s ± 3.967 s [User: 16.003 s, System: 8.286 s] Range (min … max): 11.891 s … 23.671 s 10 runs Benchmark #2: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh Time (mean ± σ): 12.399 s ± 2.256 s [User: 7.542 s, System: 5.342 s] Range (min … max): 9.606 s … 15.727 s 10 runs Benchmark #3: ./t3070-wildmatch.sh Time (mean ± σ): 10.726 s ± 3.476 s [User: 6.790 s, System: 4.365 s] Range (min … max): 5.444 s … 15.376 s 10 runs Summary './t3070-wildmatch.sh' ran 1.16 ± 0.43 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh' 1.87 ± 0.71 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh' Again, we get almost a 2x speedup disabling these. In this case, there are no tests not covered by the script's "default to disable" behavior, so the second two benchmarks should be the same (and while they do differ, you can see the variance is quite high but they're within one standard deviation). So it seems like for these two scripts, at least, disabling the extra checks is a reasonable tradeoff. Sadly, the overall runtime of "make test" on my system doesn't get much faster. But that's because we're mostly limited by the cost of the single biggest test. Here are the top-5 tests by wall-clock time from a parallel run, before my patch: 57.9192368984222 t9001-send-email.sh 45.6329638957977 t0027-auto-crlf.sh 32.5278220176697 t3070-wildmatch.sh 22.2701289653778 t7610-mergetool.sh 20.8635759353638 t1701-racy-split-index.sh And after: 57.1476998329163 t9001-send-email.sh 33.776211977005 t0027-auto-crlf.sh 21.3116669654846 t7610-mergetool.sh 20.7748689651489 t1701-racy-split-index.sh 19.6957249641418 t7112-reset-submodule.sh We dropped 12s from t0027, and t3070 dropped off our list entirely at around 16s. In both cases we're bound by t9001, but its slowness is due to the actual tests, so we'll have to deal with it in a different way. But this reduces overall CPU, and means that dealing with t9001 (by improving the speed of send-email or splitting it apart) will let us reduce our overall runtime even on multi-core machines.

2021-05-05ci: run test round with parallel-checkout enabledLibravatar Matheus Tavares1-0/+4
We already have tests for the basic parallel-checkout operations. But this code can also run be executed by other commands, such as git-read-tree and git-sparse-checkout, which are currently not tested with multiple workers. To promote a wider test coverage without duplicating tests: 1. Add the GIT_TEST_CHECKOUT_WORKERS environment variable, to optionally force parallel-checkout execution during the whole test suite. 2. Set this variable (with a value of 2) in the second test round of our linux-gcc CI job. This round runs `make test` again with some optional GIT_TEST_* variables enabled, so there is no additional overhead in exercising the parallel-checkout code here. Note that tests checking out less than two parallel-eligible entries will fall back to the sequential mode. Nevertheless, it's still a good exercise for the parallel-checkout framework as the fallback codepath also writes the queued entries using the parallel-checkout functions (only without spawning any worker).

Remove the optional "diagnostics" parameter of the test_path_is_{file,dir,missing} functions.

Remove support for using version 1 of the PCRE library. Its use has been discouraged by upstream for a long time, and it's in a bugfix-only state. Anyone who was relying on v1 in particular got a nudge to move to v2 in e6c531b808 (Makefile: make USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease mean v2, not v1, 2018-03-11), which was first released as part of v2.18.0. With this the LIBPCRE2 test prerequisites is redundant to PCRE. But I'm keeping it for self-documentation purposes, and to avoid conflict with other in-flight PCRE patches. I'm also not changing all of our own "pcre2" names to "pcre", i.e. the inverse of 6d4b5747f0 (grep: change internal *pcre* variable & function names to be *pcre1*, 2017-05-25).

2021-01-21tests: remove support for GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISONLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-6/+0
This removes the ability to inject "poison" gettext() messages via the GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON special test setup. I initially added this as a compile-time option in bb946bba761 (i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly translator, 2011-02-22), and most recently modified to be toggleable at runtime in 6cdccfce1e0 (i18n: make GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option, 2018-11-08).. The reason for its removal is that the trade-off of maintaining it v.s. what it's getting us has long since flipped. When gettext was integrated in 5e9637c6297 (i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext, 2011-11-18) there was understandable concern on the Git ML that in marking messages for translation en-masse we'd inadvertently mark plumbing messages. The GETTEXT_POISON facility was a way to smoke those out via our test suite. Nowadays however we're done (or almost entirely done) with any marking of messages for translation. New messages are usually marked by their authors, who'll know whether it makes sense to translate them or not. If not any errors in marking the messages are much more likely to be spotted in review than in the the initial deluge of i18n patches in the 2011-2012 era. So let's just remove this. This leaves the test suite in a state where we still have a lot of test_i18n, C_LOCALE_OUTPUT etc. uses. Subsequent commits will remove those too. The change to t/lib-rebase.sh is a selective revert of the relevant part of f2d17068fd (i18n: rebase-interactive: mark comments of squash for translation, 2016-06-17), and the comment in t/t3406-rebase-message.sh is from c7108bf9ed (i18n: rebase: mark messages for translation, 2012-07-25).

2021-01-18commit-graph: implement generation data chunkLibravatar Abhishek Kumar1-0/+3
As discovered by Ævar, we cannot increment graph version to distinguish between generation numbers v1 and v2 [1]. Thus, one of pre-requistes before implementing generation number v2 was to distinguish between graph versions in a backwards compatible manner. We are going to introduce a new chunk called Generation DATa chunk (or GDAT). GDAT will store corrected committer date offsets whereas CDAT will still store topological level. Old Git does not understand GDAT chunk and would ignore it, reading topological levels from CDAT. New Git can parse GDAT and take advantage of newer generation numbers, falling back to topological levels when GDAT chunk is missing (as it would happen with a commit-graph written by old Git). We introduce a test environment variable 'GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT' which forces commit-graph file to be written without generation data chunk to emulate a commit-graph file written by old Git. To minimize the space required to store corrrected commit date, Git stores corrected commit date offsets into the commit-graph file, instea of corrected commit dates. This saves us 4 bytes per commit, decreasing the GDAT chunk size by half, but it's possible for the offset to overflow the 4-bytes allocated for storage. As such overflows are and should be exceedingly rare, we use the following overflow management scheme: We introduce a new commit-graph chunk, Generation Data OVerflow ('GDOV') to store corrected commit dates for commits with offsets greater than GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX. If the offset is greater than GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX, we set the MSB of the offset and the other bits store the position of corrected commit date in GDOV chunk, similar to how Extra Edge List is maintained. We test the overflow-related code with the following repo history: F - N - U / \ U - N - U N \ / N - F - N Where the commits denoted by U have committer date of zero seconds since Unix epoch, the commits denoted by N have committer date of 1112354055 (default committer date for the test suite) seconds since Unix epoch and the commits denoted by F have committer date of (2 ^ 31 - 2) seconds since Unix epoch. The largest offset observed is 2 ^ 31, just large enough to overflow.

2020-10-18test-lib: allow selecting tests by substring/glob with --runLibravatar Elijah Newren1-17/+31
Many of our test scripts have several "setup" tests. It's a lot easier to say ./t0050-filesystem.sh --run=setup,9 in order to run all the setup tests as well as test #9, than it is to track down what all the setup tests are and enter all their numbers in the list. Also, I often find myself wanting to run just one or a couple tests from the test file, but I don't know the numbering of any of the tests -- to get it I either have to first run the whole test file (or start counting by hand or figure out some other clever but non-obvious tricks). It's really convenient to be able to just look at the test description(s) and then run ./t6416-recursive-corner-cases.sh --run=symlink or ./t6402-merge-rename.sh --run='setup,unnecessary update' Add such an ability to test selection which relies on merely matching against the test description.

2020-03-25test-lib: allow short options to be bundledLibravatar Matheus Tavares1-1/+2
When debugging a test (or a set of tests), it's common to execute it with some combination of short options, such as: $ ./txxx-testname.sh -d -x -i In cases like this, CLIs usually allow the short options to be bundled in a single argument, for convenience and agility. Let's add this feature to test-lib, allowing the above command to be run as: $ ./txxx-testname.sh -dxi (or any other permutation, e.g. '-ixd') Note: Short options that require an argument can also be used in a bundle, in any position. So, for example, '-r 5 -x', '-xr 5' and '-rx 5' are all valid and equivalent. A special case would be having a bundle with more than one of such options. To keep things simple, this case is not allowed for now. This shouldn't be a major limitation, though, as the only short option that requires an argument today is '-r'. And concatenating '-r's as in '-rr 5 6' would probably not be very practical: its unbundled format would be '-r 5 -r 6', for which test-lib currently considers only the last argument. Therefore, if '-rr 5 6' were to be allowed, it would have the same effect as just typing '-r 6'. Note: the test-lib currently doesn't support '-r5', as an alternative for '-r 5', so the former is not supported in bundles as well.

The environment variable GIT_TEST_PACK_SPARSE was previously used to allow testing the --sparse option for "git pack-objects" in the test suite. This allowed interesting cases of "git push" to also test this algorithm. Since pack.useSparse is now true by default, we do not need this variable to _enable_ the --sparse option, but instead to _disable_ it. This flips how we work with the variable a bit. When checking for the variable, default to a value of -1 for "unset". If unset, then take the default from the repo settings, which is currently 1. Then, the --[no-]sparse command-line option will override either of these settings. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Remove the stash.useBuiltin setting which was added as an escape hatch to disable the builtin version of stash first released with Git 2.22. Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden, and has in fact become out of date failing a test since the 2.23 release, without anyone noticing until now. So users would be getting a hint to fall back to a potentially buggy version of the tool. We used to shell out to git config to get the useBuiltin configuration to avoid changing any global state before spawning legacy-stash. However that is no longer necessary, so just use the 'git_config' function to get the setting instead. Similar to what we've done in d03ebd411c ("rebase: remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting", 2019-03-18), where we remove the corresponding setting for rebase, we leave the documentation in place, so people can refer back to it when searching for it online, and so we can refer to it in the commit message.

Since 3b072c577b (tests: replace test_tristate with "git env--helper", 2019-06-21) we get the normalized bool values of various GIT_TEST_* environment variables via 'git env--helper'. Now, while the 'git env--helper' command itself does catch invalid values in the environment variable or in the given --default and exits with error (exit code 128 or 129, respectively), it's invoked in conditions like 'if ! git env--helper ...', which means that all invalid bool values are interpreted the same as the ordinary 'false' (exit code 1). This has led to inadvertently skipped httpd tests in our CI builds for a couple of weeks, see 3960290675 (ci: restore running httpd tests, 2019-09-06). Let's be more careful about what the test suite accepts as bool values in GIT_TEST_* environment variables, and error out loud and clear on invalid values instead of simply skipping tests. Add the 'test_bool_env' helper function to encapsulate the invocation of 'git env--helper' and the verification of its exit code, and replace all invocations of that command in our test framework and test suite with a call to this new helper (except in 't0017-env-helper.sh', of course). $ GIT_TEST_GIT_DAEMON=YesPlease ./t5570-git-daemon.sh fatal: bad numeric config value 'YesPlease' for 'GIT_TEST_GIT_DAEMON': invalid unit error: test_bool_env requires bool values both for $GIT_TEST_GIT_DAEMON and for the default fallback Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-11-14Start to implement a built-in version of `git add --interactive`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+4
Unlike previous conversions to C, where we started with a built-in helper, we start this conversion by adding an interception in the `run_add_interactive()` function when the new opt-in `add.interactive.useBuiltin` config knob is turned on (or the corresponding environment variable `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN`), and calling the new internal API function `run_add_i()` that is implemented directly in libgit.a. At this point, the built-in version of `git add -i` only states that it cannot do anything yet. In subsequent patches/patch series, the `run_add_i()` function will gain more and more functionality, until it is feature complete. The whole arc of the conversion can be found in the PRs #170-175 at https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git. The "--helper approach" can unfortunately not be used here: on Windows we face the very specific problem that a `system()` call in Perl seems to close `stdin` in the parent process when the spawned process consumes even one character from `stdin`. Which prevents us from implementing the main loop in C and still trying to hand off to the Perl script. The very real downside of the approach we have to take here is that the test suite won't pass with `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=true` until the conversion is complete (the `--helper` approach would have let it pass, even at each of the incremental conversion steps).

Change the GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON variable from being "non-empty?" to being a more standard boolean variable. Since it needed to be checked in both C code and shellscript (via test -n) it was one of the remaining shellscript-like variables. Now that we have "env--helper" we can change that. There's a couple of tricky edge cases that arise because we're using git_env_bool() early, and the config-reading "env--helper". If GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON is set to an invalid value die_bad_number() will die, but to do so it would usually call gettext(). Let's detect the special case of GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON and always emit that message in the C locale, lest we infinitely loop. As seen in the updated tests in t0017-env-helper.sh there's also a caveat related to "env--helper" needing to read the config for trace2 purposes. Since the C_LOCALE_OUTPUT prerequisite is lazy and relies on "env--helper" we could get invalid results if we failed to read the config (e.g. because we'd loop on includes) when combined with e.g. "test_i18ngrep" wanting to check with "env--helper" if GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON was true or not. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that a test similar to the one I removed in the earlier "config tests: simplify include cycle test" change in this series won't happen again, and testing for this explicitly in "env--helper"'s own tests. This change breaks existing uses of e.g. GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease, which we've documented in po/README and other places. As noted in [1] we might want to consider also accepting "YesPlease" in "env--helper" as a special-case. But as the lack of uproar over 6cdccfce1e ("i18n: make GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option", 2018-11-08) demonstrates the audience for this option is a really narrow set of git developers, who shouldn't have much trouble modifying their test scripts, so I think it's better to deal with that minor headache now and make all the relevant GIT_TEST_* variables boolean in the same way than carry the "YesPlease" special-case forward. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqtvckm3h8.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-05-14tests: add a special setup where prerequisites failLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+9
As discussed in [1] there's a regression in the "pu" branch now because a new test implicitly assumed that a previous test guarded by a prerequisite had been run. Add a "GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS" special test setup where we'll skip (nearly) all tests guarded by prerequisites, allowing us to easily emulate those platform where we don't run these tests. As noted in the documentation I'm adding I'm whitelisting the SYMLINKS prerequisite for now. A lot of tests started failing if we lied about not supporting symlinks. It's also unlikely that we'll have a failing test due to a hard dependency on symlinks without that being the obvious cause, so for now it's not worth the effort to make it work. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1905131531000.44@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
