2010-11-09test-lib: introduce test_line_count to measure filesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+4
Some tests check their output with code like the following: test "$(git ls-files -u B | wc -l)" -eq 3 || { echo "BAD: should have left stages for B" return 1 } The verbose failure condition is used because test, unlike diff, does not print any useful information about the nature of the failure when it fails. Introduce a test_line_count function to help. If used like git ls-files -u B >output && test_line_count -eq 3 output it will produce output like test_line_count: line count for output !-eq 3 100644 b023018cabc396e7692c70bbf5784a93d3f738ab 2 hi.c 100644 45b983be36b73c0788dc9cbcb76cbb80fc7bb057 3 hi.c on failure.

2010-10-06test-lib: make test_expect_code a test commandLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-7/+9
Change test_expect_code to be a normal test command instead of a top-level command. As a top-level command it would fail in cases like: test_expect_code 1 'phoney' ' foo && bar && (exit 1) ' Here the test might incorrectly succeed if "foo" or "bar" happened to fail with exit status 1. Instead we now do: test_expect_success 'phoney' ' foo && bar && test_expect_code 1 "(exit 1)" ' Which will only succeed if "foo" and "bar" return status 0, and "(exit 1)" returns status 1. Note that test_expect_code has been made slightly noisier, as it reports the exit code it receives even upon success. Some test code in t0000-basic.sh relied on the old semantics of test_expect_code to test the test_when_finished command. I've converted that code to use an external test similar to the TODO test I added in v1.7.3-rc0~2^2~3.

2010-08-18tests: A SANITY test prereq for testing if we're rootLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+5
Some tests depend on not being able to write to files after chmod -w. This doesn't work when running the tests as root. Change test-lib.sh to test if this works, and if so it sets a new SANITY test prerequisite. The tests that use this previously failed when run under root. There was already a test for this in t3600-rm.sh, added by Junio C Hamano in 2283645 in 2006. That check now uses the new SANITY prerequisite.

2010-06-25test-lib: Adjust output to be valid TAP formatLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-18/+41
TAP, the Test Anything Protocol, is a simple text-based interface between testing modules in a test harness. test-lib.sh's output was already very close to being valid TAP. This change brings it all the way there. Before: $ ./t0005-signals.sh * ok 1: sigchain works * passed all 1 test(s) And after: $ ./t0005-signals.sh ok 1 - sigchain works # passed all 1 test(s) 1..1 The advantage of using TAP is that any program that reads the format (a "test harness") can run the tests. The most popular of these is the prove(1) utility that comes with Perl. It can run tests in parallel, display colored output, format the output to console, file, HTML etc., and much more. An example: $ prove ./t0005-signals.sh ./t0005-signals.sh .. ok All tests successful. Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.03 usr 0.00 sys + 0.01 cusr 0.02 csys = 0.06 CPU) Result: PASS prove(1) gives you human readable output without being too verbose. Running the test suite in parallel with `make test -j15` produces a flood of text. Running them with `prove -j 15 ./t[0-9]*.sh` makes it easy to follow what's going on. All this patch does is re-arrange the output a bit so that it conforms with the TAP spec, everything that the test suite did before continues to work. That includes aggregating results in t/test-results/, the --verbose, --debug and other options for tests, and the test color output. TAP harnesses ignore everything that they don't know about, so running the tests with --verbose works: $ prove ./t0005-signals.sh :: --verbose --debug ./t0005-signals.sh .. Terminated ./t0005-signals.sh .. ok All tests successful. Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.01 sys + 0.01 cusr 0.01 csys = 0.05 CPU) Result: PASS Just supply the -v option to prove itself to get all the verbose output that it suppresses: $ prove -v ./t0005-signals.sh :: --verbose --debug ./t0005-signals.sh .. Initialized empty Git repository in /home/avar/g/git/t/trash directory.t0005-signals/.git/ expecting success: test-sigchain >actual case "$?" in 143) true ;; # POSIX w/ SIGTERM=15 3) true ;; # Windows *) false ;; esac && test_cmp expect actual Terminated ok 1 - sigchain works # passed all 1 test(s) 1..1 ok All tests successful. Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 0.01 cusr 0.01 csys = 0.04 CPU) Result: PASS As a further example, consider this test script that uses a lot of test-lib.sh features by Jakub Narebski: #!/bin/sh test_description='this is a sample test. This test is here to see various test outputs.' . ./test-lib.sh say 'diagnostic message' test_expect_success 'true test' 'true' test_expect_success 'false test' 'false' test_expect_failure 'true test (todo)' 'true' test_expect_failure 'false test (todo)' 'false' test_debug 'echo "debug message"' test_done The output of that was previously: * diagnostic message # yellow * ok 1: true test * FAIL 2: false test # bold red false * FIXED 3: true test (todo) * still broken 4: false test (todo) # bold green * fixed 1 known breakage(s) # green * still have 1 known breakage(s) # bold red * failed 1 among remaining 3 test(s) # bold red But is now: diagnostic message # yellow ok 1 - true test not ok - 2 false test # bold red # false ok 3 - true test (todo) # TODO known breakage not ok 4 - false test (todo) # TODO known breakage # bold green # fixed 1 known breakage(s) # green # still have 1 known breakage(s) # bold red # failed 1 among remaining 3 test(s) # bold red 1..4 All the coloring is preserved when the test is run manually. Under prove(1) the test performs as expected, even with --debug and --verbose options: $ prove ./example.sh :: --debug --verbose ./example.sh .. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) Failed 1/4 subtests (1 TODO test unexpectedly succeeded) Test Summary Report ------------------- ./example.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 4 Failed: 1) Failed test: 2 TODO passed: 3 Non-zero exit status: 1 Files=1, Tests=4, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.01 csys = 0.03 CPU) Result: FAIL The TAP harness itself doesn't get confused by the color output, they aren't used by test-lib.sh stdout isn't open to a terminal (test -t 1).

2009-02-03test-lib.sh: optionally output to test-results/$TEST.out, tooLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
When tests are run in parallel and a few tests fail, it does not help that the output of the terminal is totally confusing, as you rarely know which test which line came from. So introduce the option '--tee' which triggers that the output of the tests will be written to t/test-results/$TEST.out in addition to the terminal, where $TEST is the basename of the script. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to redirect a given file descriptor to a specified subprocess in POSIX shell, only redirection to a file is supported via 'exec > $FILE'. At least with bash, one might think that 'exec >($COMMAND)' would work as intended, but it does not. The common way to work around the lack of proper tools support is to work with named pipes, alas, one of our most beloved platforms does not really support named pipes. Besides, we would need a pipe for every script, as the whole point of this patch is to allow parallel execution. Therefore, we handle the redirection in the following way: when '--tee' was passed to the test script, the variable GIT_TEST_TEE_STARTED is set (to avoid triggering that code path again) and the script is started _again_, in a subshell, redirected to the command "tee".

2009-02-03Add valgrind support in test scriptsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+7
This patch adds the ability to use valgrind's memcheck tool to diagnose memory problems in Git while running the test scripts. It requires valgrind 3.4.0 or newer. It works by creating symlinks to a valgrind script, which have the same name as our Git binaries, and then putting that directory in front of the test script's PATH as well as set GIT_EXEC_PATH to that directory. Git scripts are symlinked from that directory directly. That way, Git binaries called by Git scripts are valgrinded, too. Valgrind can be used by specifying "GIT_TEST_OPTS=--valgrind" in the make invocation. Any invocation of git that finds any errors under valgrind will exit with failure code 126. Any valgrind output will go to the usual stderr channel for tests (i.e., /dev/null, unless -v has been specified). If you need to pass options to valgrind -- you might want to run another tool than memcheck, for example -- you can set the environment variable GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS. A few default suppressions are included, since libz seems to trigger quite a few false positives. We'll assume that libz works and that we can ignore any errors which are reported there. Note: it is safe to run the valgrind tests in parallel, as the links in t/valgrind/bin/ are created using proper locking. Initial patch and all the hard work by Jeff King.

2008-02-01Sane use of test_expect_failureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+6
Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests run a series of commands that leads to the single command that needs to be tested, like this: test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' ' setup1 && setup2 && setup3 && what is to be tested ' And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands. This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is tested, like this: test_expect_success 'test title' ' setup1 && setup2 && setup3 && ! this command should fail ' test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can write a test like this: test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' ' rm -f bar && git foo && test -f bar ' This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

2007-01-12use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and toolsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+1
While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+5
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

2005-07-07[PATCH] Prevent t6000 series from dropping useless sed.script in t/Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
The Makefile in the test suite directory considers any file matching t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh as the top-level test script to be executed. Unfortunately this was not documented, and the common test library, t6000-lib.sh was named to match that pattern. This caused t6000-lib.sh to be called from Makefile as the top-level program, causing it to leave t/sed.script file behind. Rename it to t6000lib.sh to prevent this, and document the naming convention a bit more clearly. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The documentation of the test harness still refer to old numbering and also contains an obvious typo. Also "make test" should be run after making sure we have built all binaries, since test is designed to test the newly built ones.
