2018-02-27test_must_be_empty: make sure the file exists, not just emptyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+5
The helper function test_must_be_empty is meant to make sure the given file is empty, but its implementation is: if test -s "$1" then ... not empty, we detected a failure ... fi Surely, the file having non-zero size is a sign that the condition "the file must be empty" is violated, but it misses the case where the file does not even exist. It is an accident waiting to happen with a buggy test like this: git frotz 2>error-message && test_must_be_empty errro-message that won't get caught until you deliberately break 'git frotz' and notice why the test does not fail.

2018-02-27t: prevent '-x' tracing from interfering with test helpers' stderrLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-12/+12
Running a test script with '-x' turns on 'set -x' tracing, the output of which is normally sent to stderr. This causes a lot of test failures, because many tests redirect and verify the stderr of shell functions, most frequently that of 'test_must_fail'. These issues were worked around somewhat in d88785e424 (test-lib: set BASH_XTRACEFD automatically, 2016-05-11), so at least we could reliably run tests with '-x' tracing under a Bash version supporting BASH_XTRACEFD, i.e. v4.1 and later. Futhermore, redirecting the stderr of test helper functions like 'test_must_fail' or 'test_expect_code' is the cause of a different issue as well. If these functions detect something unexpected, they will write their error messages intended to the user to thier stderr. However, if their stderr is redirected in order to save and verify the stderr of the tested git command invoked in the function, then the function's error messages will be redirected as well. Consequently, those messages won't reach the user, making the test's verbose output less useful. This patch makes it safe to redirect and verify the stderr of those test helper functions which are meant to run the tested command given as argument, even when running tests with '-x' and /bin/sh. This is achieved through a couple of file descriptor redirections: - Duplicate stderr of the tested command executed in the test helper function from the function's fd 7 (see next point), to ensure that the tested command's error messages go to a different fd than the '-x' trace of the commands executed in the function or the function's error messages. - Duplicate the test helper function's fd 7 from the function's original stderr, meaning that, after taking a detour through fd 7, the error messages of the tested command do end up on the function's original stderr. - Duplicate stderr of the test helper function from fd 4, i.e. the fd connected to the test script's original stderr and the fd used for BASH_XTRACEFD. This ensures that the '-x' trace of the commands executed in the function - doesn't go to the function's original stderr, so it won't mess with callers who want to save and verify the tested command's stderr. - does go to the same fd independently from the shell running the test script, be it /bin/sh, an older Bash without BASH_XTRACEFD, or a more recent Bash already supporting BASH_XTRACEFD. Furthermore, this also makes sure that the function's error messages go to this fd 4, meaning that the user will be able to see them even if the function's stderr is redirected in the test. - Specify the latter two redirections above in the test helper function's definition, so they are performed every time the function is invoked, without the need to modify the callsites of the function. Perform these redirections in those test helper functions which can be expected to have their stderr redirected, i.e. in the functions 'test_must_fail', 'test_might_fail', 'test_expect_code', 'test_env', 'nongit', 'test_terminal' and 'perl'. Note that 'test_might_fail', 'test_env', and 'nongit' are not involved in any test failures when running tests with '-x' and /bin/sh. The other test helper functions are left unchanged, because they either don't run commands specified as their arguments, or redirecting their stderr wouldn't make sense, or both. With this change the number of failures when running the test suite with '-x' tracing and /bin/sh goes down from 340 failed tests in 43 test scripts to 22 failed tests in 6 scripts (or 23 in 7, if the system (OSX) uses an older Bash version without BASH_XTRACEFD to run 't9903-bash-prompt.sh').

2018-02-22t: send verbose test-helper output to fd 4Libravatar Jeff King1-10/+10
Test helper functions like test_must_fail may produce messages to stderr when they see a problem. When the tests are run with "--verbose", this ends up on the test script's stderr, and the user can read it. But there's a problem. Some tests record stderr as part of the test, like: test_must_fail git foo 2>output && test_i18ngrep expected.message output In this case the error text goes into "output". This makes the --verbose output less useful (it also means we might accidentally match it in the second, though in practice we tend to produce these messages only on error, so we'd abort the test when the first command fails). Let's instead send this user-facing output directly to descriptor 4, which always points to the original stderr (or /dev/null in non-verbose mode). And it's already forbidden to redirect descriptor 4, since we use it for BASH_XTRACEFD, as explained in 9be795fbce (t5615: avoid re-using descriptor 4, 2017-12-08).

2018-02-08t: make 'test_i18ngrep' more informative on failureLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-4/+20
When 'test_i18ngrep' can't find the expected pattern, it exits completely silently; when its negated form does find the pattern that shouldn't be there, it prints the matching line(s) but otherwise exits without any error message. This leaves the developer puzzled about what could have gone wrong. Make 'test_i18ngrep' more informative on failure by printing an error message including the invoked 'grep' command and the contents of the file it had to scan through. Note that this "dump the scanned file" part is not quite perfect, as it dumps only the file specified as the function's last positional parameter, thus assuming that there is only a single file parameter. I think that's a reasonable assumption to make, one that holds true in the current code base. And even if someone were to scan multiple files at once in the future, the worst thing that could happen is that the verbose error message won't include the contents of all those files, only the last one. Alas, we can't really do any better than this, because checking whether the other positional parameters match a filename can result in false positives: 't3400-rebase.sh' and 't3404-rebase-interactive.sh' contain one test each, where the 'test_i18ngrep's pattern verbatimly matches a file in the trash directory.

2018-02-08t: validate 'test_i18ngrep's parametersLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+12
Some of the previous patches in this series fixed bogus 'test_i18ngrep' invocations: - Two invocations where the tested git command's standard output is directly piped into 'test_i18ngrep'. While convenient, this is an antipattern, because the pipe hides the git command's exit code, and the test could continue even if the command exited with error. - Two invocations that had neither a filename parameter nor anything piped into their standard input, yet both managed to remain unnoticed for years. A third similarly bogus invocation is currently lurking in 'pu' for a couple of weeks now. Prevent similar mistakes in the future by validating 'test_i18ngrep's parameters requiring that - The last parameter names an existing file to be read, effectively forbidding piping into 'test_i18ngrep'. Note that this change will also forbid cases where 'test_i18ngrep' would legitimately read its standard input, e.g. when its standard input is redirected from a file, or when a git command's standard output is first written to an intermediate file, which is then preprocessed by a non-git command before the results are piped into 'test_i18ngrep'. See two of the previous patches for the only such cases we had in our test suite. However, reliably preventing the piping antipattern is arguably more important than supporting these cases, which can be easily worked around by opening the file directly or using an intermediate file anyway. - There are at least two parameters, not including the optional '!' to negate the pattern. This ought to catch corner cases when 'test_i18ngrep' looks for the name of an existing file on its standard input; the above check would miss this case becase the filename as pattern would be the last parameter. Note that this is not quite perfect, as it doesn't account for any 'grep --options' given as parameters. However, doing so would be far too complicated, considering that patterns can start with dashes as well, and in the majority of the cases we don't use any such options anyway.

2018-01-25t/lib-git-daemon: add network-protocol helpersLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+34
All of our git-protocol tests rely on invoking the client and having it make a request of a server. That gives a nice real-world test of how the two behave together, but it doesn't leave any room for testing how a server might react to _other_ clients. Let's add a few test helper functions which can be used to manually conduct a git-protocol conversation with a remote git-daemon: 1. To connect to a remote git-daemon, we need something like "netcat". But not everybody will have netcat. And even if they do, the behavior with respect to half-duplex shutdowns is not portable (openbsd netcat has "-N", with others you must rely on "-q 1", which is racy). Here we provide a "fake_nc" that is capable of doing a client-side netcat, with sane half-duplex semantics. It relies on perl's IO::Socket::INET. That's been in the base distribution since 5.6.0, so it's probably available everywhere. But just to be on the safe side, we'll add a prereq. 2. To help tests speak and read pktline, this patch adds packetize() and depacketize() functions. I've put fake_nc() into lib-git-daemon.sh, since that's really the only server where we'd need to use a network socket. Whereas the pktline helpers may be of more general use, so I've added them to test-lib-functions.sh. Programs like upload-pack speak pktline, but can talk directly over stdio without a network socket. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In POSIX shells, a program which exits due to a signal generally has an exit code of 128 plus the signal number. However, ksh uses 256 plus the signal number. We've accounted for that in t0005, but not in other tests. Let's pull out the logic so we can use it elsewhere. It would be nice for debugging if this additionally printed errors to stderr, like our other test_* helpers. But we're going to need to use it in other places besides the innards of a test_expect block. So let's leave it as generic as possible. Note that we also leave the magic "3" for Windows out of the generic helper. This is an artifact of the way we use raise() to kill ourselves in test-sigchain.c, and will not necessarily apply to all programs. So it's better to keep it out of the helper, to reduce the chance of confusing it with a real call to exit(3).

2016-07-01t9300: factor out portable "head -c" replacementLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+14
It is sometimes useful to be able to read exactly N bytes from a pipe. Doing this portably turns out to be surprisingly difficult in shell scripts. We want a solution that: - is portable - never reads more than N bytes due to buffering (which would mean those bytes are not available to the next program to read from the same pipe) - handles partial reads by looping until N bytes are read (or we see EOF) - is resilient to stray signals giving us EINTR while trying to read (even though we don't send them, things like SIGWINCH could cause apparently-random failures) Some possible solutions are: - "head -c" is not portable, and implementations may buffer (though GNU head does not) - "read -N" is a bash-ism, and thus not portable - "dd bs=$n count=1" does not handle partial reads. GNU dd has iflags=fullblock, but that is not portable - "dd bs=1 count=$n" fixes the partial read problem (all reads are 1-byte, so there can be no partial response). It does make a lot of write() calls, but for our tests that's unlikely to matter. It's fairly portable. We already use it in our tests, and it's unlikely that implementations would screw up any of our criteria. The most unknown one would be signal handling. - perl can do a sysread() loop pretty easily. On my Linux system, at least, it seems to restart the read() call automatically. If that turns out not to be portable, though, it would be easy for us to handle it. That makes the perl solution the least bad (because we conveniently omitted "length of code" as a criterion).

The one-shot environment variable syntax: FOO=BAR some-program is unportable when some-program is actually a shell function, like test_must_fail (on some shells FOO remains set after the function returns, and on others it does not). We sometimes get around this by using env, like: test_must_fail env FOO=BAR some-program But that only works because test_must_fail's arguments are themselves a command which can be run. You can't run: env FOO=BAR test_must_fail some-program because env does not know about our shell functions. So there is no equivalent for test_commit, for example, and one must resort to: ( FOO=BAR export FOO test_commit ) which is a bit verbose. Let's add a version of "env" that works _inside_ the shell, by creating a subshell, exporting variables from its argument list, and running the command. Its use is demonstrated on a currently-unportable case in t4014. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

t5516 "75 - deny fetch unreachable SHA1, allowtipsha1inwant=true" is flaky in the following case: 1. remote upload-pack finds out "not our ref" 2. remote sends a response and closes the pipe 3. fetch-pack still tries to write commands to the remote upload-pack 4. write call in wrapper.c dies with SIGPIPE The test is flaky because the sending fetch-pack may or may not have finished writing its output by step (3). If it did, then we see a closed pipe on the next read() call. If it didn't, then we get the SIGPIPE from step (4) above. Both are fine, but the latter fools test_must_fail. t5504 "9 - push with transfer.fsckobjects" is flaky, too, and returns SIGPIPE once in a while. I had to remove the final "To dst..." output check because there is no output if the process dies with SIGPIPE. Accept such a death-with-sigpipe also as OK when we are expecting a failure.

2015-11-28implement test_might_fail using a refactored test_must_failLibravatar Lars Schneider1-14/+33
Add an (optional) first parameter "ok=<special case>" to test_must_fail and return success for "<special case>". Add "success" as "<special case>" and use it to implement "test_might_fail". This removes redundancies in test-lib-function.sh. You can pass multiple <special case> arguments divided by comma (e.g. "test_must_fail ok=success,something") Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsayjones.plus.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
2015-10-30test: facilitate debugging Git executables in tests with gdbLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+8
When prefixing a Git call in the test suite with 'debug ', it will now be run with GDB, allowing the developer to debug test failures more conveniently.

2015-09-08test-lib-functions: detect test_when_finished in subshellLibravatar John Keeping1-0/+5
test_when_finished does nothing in a subshell because the change to test_cleanup does not affect the parent. There is no POSIX way to detect that we are in a subshell ($$ and $PPID are specified to remain unchanged), but we can detect it on Bash and fall back to ignoring the bug on other shells.

2015-09-08test-lib-functions: support "test_config -C <dir> ..."Libravatar John Keeping1-3/+17
If used in a subshell, test_config cannot unset variables at the end of a test. This is a problem when testing submodules because we do not want to "cd" at to top level of a test script in order to run the command inside the submodule. Add a "-C" option to test_config (and test_unconfig) so that test_config can be kept outside subshells and still affect subrepositories.

2015-04-28test: validate prerequistes syntaxLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+9
Brian Carson noticed that a test piece in t5601 had a pair of single quotes in the body, which made it into 4 parameter call to test_expect_success, as if its test title were a prerequisite. As the prerequisites have a specific syntax (i.e. comma separated tokens spelled in capital letters, possibly prefixed with ! for negation), validate them to catch such a mistake in the future.

2015-02-23test_ln_s_add: refresh stat info of fake symbolic linksLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+3
We have a helper function test_ln_s_add that inserts a symbolic link into the index even if the file system does not support symbolic links. There is a small flaw in the emulation path: the added entry does not pick up stat information of the fake symbolic link from the file system, as a consequence, the index is not exactly the same as for the "regular" path (where symbolic links are available). To fix this, just call git update-index again. This flaw was revealed by the earlier change that tightened compare_diff_raw(), because a test case in t4008 depends on the correctly updated index.
