2014-03-19tests: use "env" to run commands with temporary env-var settingsLibravatar David Tran1-15/+3
Ordinarily, we would say "VAR=VAL command" to execute a tested command with environment variable(s) set only for that command. This however does not work if 'command' is a shell function (most notably 'test_must_fail'); the result of the assignment is retained and affects later commands. To avoid this, we used to assign and export environment variables and run such a test in a subshell, like so: ( VAR=VAL && export VAR && test_must_fail git command to be tested ) But with "env" utility, we should be able to say: test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git command to be tested which is much shorter and easier to read.

2014-01-31pager test: make fake pager consume all its inputLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
Otherwise there is a race: if 'git log' finishes writing before the pager terminates and closes the pipe, all is well, and if the pager finishes quickly enough then 'git log' terminates with SIGPIPE. died of signal 13 at /build/buildd/git-1.9~rc1/t/test-terminal.perl line 33. not ok 6 - LESS and LV envvars are set for pagination Noticed on Ubuntu PPA builders, where the race was lost about half the time.

2014-01-07pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSXLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+12
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e., DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of color in the pager: $ git diff ^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m ^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m ^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m ^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m ^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m "less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw form') by default. Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the -c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color') to fix it for lv, too. Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

2011-12-14test: errors preparing for a test are not specialLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-56/+17
This script uses the following idiom to start each test in a known good state: test_expect_success 'some commands use a pager' ' rm -f paginated.out || cleanup_fail && test_terminal git log && test -e paginated.out ' where "cleanup_fail" is a function that prints an error message and errors out. That is bogus on three levels: - Cleanup commands like "rm -f" and "test_unconfig" are designed not to fail, so this logic would never trip. - If they were to malfunction anyway, it is not useful to set apart cleanup commands as a special kind of failure with a special error message. Whichever command fails, the next step is to investigate which command that was, for example by running tests with "prove -e 'sh -x'", and fix it. - Relying on left-associativity of mixed &&/|| lists makes the code somewhat cryptic. The fix is simple: drop the "|| cleanup_fail" in each test and the definition of the "cleanup_fail" function so no new callers can arise.

2011-08-19support pager.* for external commandsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+36
Without this patch, any commands that are not builtin would not respect pager.* config. For example: git config pager.stash false git stash list would still use a pager. With this patch, pager.stash now has an effect. If it is not specified, we will still fall back to pager.log when we invoke "log" from "stash list".

2011-08-19color: delay auto-color decision until point of useLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+12
When we read a color value either from a config file or from the command line, we use git_config_colorbool to convert it from the tristate always/never/auto into a single yes/no boolean value. This has some timing implications with respect to starting a pager. If we start (or decide not to start) the pager before checking the colorbool, everything is fine. Either isatty(1) will give us the right information, or we will properly check for pager_in_use(). However, if we decide to start a pager after we have checked the colorbool, things are not so simple. If stdout is a tty, then we will have already decided to use color. However, the user may also have configured color.pager not to use color with the pager. In this case, we need to actually turn off color. Unfortunately, the pager code has no idea which color variables were turned on (and there are many of them throughout the code, and they may even have been manipulated after the colorbool selection by something like "--color" on the command line). This bug can be seen any time a pager is started after config and command line options are checked. This has affected "git diff" since 89d07f7 (diff: don't run pager if user asked for a diff style exit code, 2007-08-12). It has also affect the log family since 1fda91b (Fix 'git log' early pager startup error case, 2010-08-24). This patch splits the notion of parsing a colorbool and actually checking the configuration. The "use_color" variables now have an additional possible value, GIT_COLOR_AUTO. Users of the variable should use the new "want_color()" wrapper, which will lazily determine and cache the auto-color decision.

2011-08-18setup_pager: set GIT_PAGER_IN_USELibravatar Jeff King1-0/+11
We have always set a global "spawned_pager" variable when we start the pager. This lets us make the auto-color decision later in the program as as "we are outputting to a terminal, or to a pager which can handle colors". Commit 6e9af86 added support for the GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variable. An external program calling git (e.g., git-svn) could set this variable to indicate that it had already started the pager, and that the decision about auto-coloring should take that into account. However, 6e9af86 failed to do the reverse, which is to tell external programs when git itself has started the pager. Thus a git command implemented as an external script that has the pager turned on (e.g., "git -p stash show") would not realize it was going to a pager, and would suppress colors. This patch remedies that; we always set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE when we start the pager, and the value is respected by both this program and any spawned children.

It is easy to forget to declare the TTY prerequisite when writing tests on a system where it would always be satisfied (because IO::Pty is installed; see v1.7.3-rc0~33^2, 2010-08-16 for example). Automatically detect this problem so there is no need to remember. test_terminal: need to declare TTY prerequisite test_must_fail: command not found: test_terminal echo hi test_terminal returns status 127 in this case to simulate not being available.

73e25e7c (git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too early, 2010-06-26) failed to take some cases into account. 1b. Builtins that do not use RUN_SETUP (like git config) do not find GIT_DIR set correctly when the pager is launched from run_builtin(). So the core.pager configuration is not honored from subdirectories of the toplevel for them. 4a. External git commands (like git request-pull) relied on the early pager launch to take care of handling the -p option. Ever since 73e25e7c, they do not honor the -p option at all. 4b. Commands invoked through ! aliases (like ls) were also relying on the early pager launch. Fix (4a) by launching the pager (if requested) before running such a “dashed external”. For simplicity, this still does not search for a .git directory before running the external command; when run from a subdirectory of the toplevel, therefore, the “[core] pager” configuration is still not honored. Fix (4b) by launching pager if requested before carrying out such an alias. Actually doing this has no effect, since the pager (if any) would have already been launched in a failed attempt to try a dashed external first. The choice-of-pager-not-honored-from- subdirectory bug still applies here, too. (1b) is not a regression. There is no need to fix it yet. Noticed by Junio.

2010-06-28git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too earlyLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-12/+46
When git is passed the --paginate option, starting up a pager requires deciding what pager to start, which requires access to the core.pager configuration. At the relevant moment, the repository has not been searched for yet. Attempting to access the configuration at this point results in git_dir being set to .git [*], which is almost certainly not what was wanted. In particular, when run from a subdirectory of the toplevel, git --paginate does not respect the core.pager setting from the current repository. [*] unless GIT_DIR or GIT_CONFIG is set So delay the pager startup when possible: 1. run_argv() already commits pager choice inside run_builtin() if a command is found. For commands that use RUN_SETUP, waiting until then fixes the problem described above: once git knows where to look, it happily respects the core.pager setting. 2. list_common_cmds_help() prints out 29 lines and exits. This can benefit from pagination, so we need to commit the pager choice before writing this output. Luckily ‘git’ without subcommand has no other reason to access a repository, so it would be intuitive to ignore repository-local configuration in this case. Simpler for now to choose a pager using the funny code that notices a repository that happens to be at .git. That this accesses a repository when it is very convenient to is a bug but not an important one. 3. help_unknown_cmd() prints out a few lines to stderr. It is not important to paginate this, so don’t.

2010-02-21t7006-pager: if stdout is not a terminal, make a new oneLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-11/+24
Testing pagination requires (fake or real) access to a terminal so we can see whether the pagination automatically kicks in, which makes it hard to get good coverage when running tests without --verbose. There are a number of ways to work around that: - Replace all isatty calls with calls to a custom xisatty wrapper that usually checks for a terminal but can be overridden for tests. This would be workable, but it would require implementing xisatty separately in three languages (C, shell, and perl) and making sure that any code that is to be tested always uses the wrapper. - Redirect stdout to /dev/tty. This would be problematic because there might be no terminal available, and even if a terminal is available, it might not be appropriate to spew output to it. - Create a new pseudo-terminal on the fly and capture its output. This patch implements the third approach. The new test-terminal.perl helper uses IO::Pty from Expect.pm to create a terminal and executes the program specified by its arguments with that terminal as stdout. If the IO::Pty module is missing or not working on a system, the test script will maintain its old behavior (skipping most of its tests unless GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).

2010-02-20tests: Add tests for automatic use of pagerLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+163
Git’s automatic pagination support has some subtleties. Add some tests to make sure we don’t break: - when git will use a pager by default; - the effect of the --paginate and --no-pager options; - the effect of pagination on use of color; - how the choice of pager is configured. This does not yet test: - use of pager by scripted commands (git svn and git am); - effect of the pager.* configuration variables; - setting of the LESS variable. Some features involve checking whether stdout is a terminal, so many of these tests are skipped unless output is passed through to the terminal (i.e., unless $GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose). The immediate purpose for these tests was to avoid making things worse after the breakage from my jn/editor-pager series (see commit 376f39, 2009-11-20).
