2019-09-17Test the progress displayLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+286
'progress.c' has seen a few fixes recently [1], and, unfortunately, some of those fixes required further fixes [2]. It seems it's time to have a few tests focusing on the subtleties of the progress display. Add the 'test-tool progress' subcommand to help testing the progress display, reading instructions from standard input and turning them into calls to the display_progress() and display_throughput() functions with the given parameters. The progress display is, however, critically dependent on timing, because it's only updated once every second or, if the toal is known in advance, every 1%, and there is the throughput rate as well. These make the progress display far too undeterministic for testing as-is. To address this, add a few testing-specific variables and functions to 'progress.c', allowing the the new test helper to: - Disable the triggered-every-second SIGALRM and set the 'progress_update' flag explicitly based in the input instructions. This way the progress line will be updated deterministically when the test wants it to be updated. - Specify the time elapsed since start_progress() to make the throughput rate calculations deterministic. Add the new test script 't0500-progress-display.sh' to check a few simple cases with and without throughput, and that a shorter progress line properly covers up the previously displayed line in different situations.
