InfoZIP's unzip takes default parameters from the environment variable UNZIP. Unset it in the test library and use GIT_UNZIP for specifying alternate versions of the unzip command instead. t0024 wasn't even using variable for the actual extraction. t5000 was, but when setting it to InfoZIP's unzip it would try to extract from itself (because it treats the contents of $UNZIP as parameters), which failed of course.

Change color of unexpectedly fixed known breakages to bold red. An unexpectedly passing test indicates that the test code is somehow broken or out of sync with the code it is testing. Either way this is an error which is potentially as bad as a failing test, and as such is no longer portrayed as a pass in the output.

2012-12-20tests: change info messages from yellow/brown to cyanLibravatar Adam Spiers1-3/+3
Now that we've adopted a "traffic lights" coloring scheme, yellow is used for warning messages, so we need to re-color info messages to something less alarmist. Blue is a universal color for informational messages; however we are using that for skipped tests in order to align with the color schemes of other test suites. Therefore we use cyan which is also blue-ish, but visually distinct from blue. This was suggested on the list a while ago and no-one raised any objections: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/205675/focus=205966 An earlier iteration of this patch used bold cyan, but the point of this change is to make them less alarming; let's drop the boldness. Also paint the message to report skipping the whole thing via GIT_SKIP_TESTS mechanism in the same color as the "info" color that is used on the final summary line for the entire script.

2012-12-20tests: paint known breakages in yellowLibravatar Adam Spiers1-2/+4
Yellow seems a more appropriate color than bold green when considering the universal traffic lights coloring scheme, where green conveys the impression that everything's OK, and amber that something's not quite right. Likewise, change the color of the summarized total number of known breakages from bold red to the same yellow to be less alarmist and more consistent with the above. An earlier version of this patch used bold yellow but because these are all long-known failures, reminding them to developers in bold over and over does not help encouraging them to take a look at them very much.

The most important in this change is to avoid affecting anything when test-lib is used from perf-lib.

2012-09-14Add MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_ libc env to the test suite for ↵Libravatar Elia Pinto1-0/+9
detecting heap corruption Recent versions of Linux libc (later than 5.4.23) and glibc (2.x) include a malloc() implementation which is tunable via environment variables. When MALLOC_CHECK_ is set, a special (less efficient) implementation is used which is designed to be tolerant against simple errors, such as double calls of free() with the same argument, or overruns of a single byte (off-by-one bugs). When MALLOC_CHECK_ is set to 3, a diagnostic message is printed on stderr and the program is aborted. Setting the MALLOC_PERTURB_ environment variable causes the malloc functions in libc to return memory which has been wiped and clear memory when it is returned. Of course this does not affect calloc which always does clear the memory. The reason for this exercise is, of course, to find code which uses memory returned by malloc without initializing it and code which uses code after it is freed. valgrind can do this but it's costly to run. The MALLOC_PERTURB_ exchanges the ability to detect problems in 100% of the cases with speed. The byte value used to initialize values returned by malloc is the byte value of the environment value. The value used to clear memory is the bitwise inverse. Setting MALLOC_PERTURB_ to zero disables the feature. This technique can find hard to detect bugs. It is therefore suggested to always use this flag (at least temporarily) when testing out code or a new distribution. But the test suite can use also valgrind(memcheck) via 'make valgrind' or 'make GIT_TEST_OPTS="--valgrind"'. Memcheck wraps client calls to malloc(), and puts a "red zone" on each end of each block in order to detect access overruns. Memcheck already detects double free() (up to the limit of the buffer which remembers pending free()). Thus memcheck subsumes all the documented coverage of MALLOC_CHECK_. If MALLOC_CHECK_ is set non-zero when running memcheck, then the overruns that might be detected by MALLOC_CHECK_ would be overruns on the wrapped blocks which include the red zones. Thus MALLOC_CHECK_ would be checking memcheck, and not the client. This is not useful, and actually is wasteful. The only possible [documented] advantage of using MALLOC_CHECK_ and memcheck together, would be if MALLOC_CHECK_ detected duplicate free() in more cases than memcheck because memcheck's buffer is too small. Therefore we don't use MALLOC_CHECK_ and valgrind(memcheck) at the same time. Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-07-27test: allow prerequisite to be evaluated lazilyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+4
The test prerequisite mechanism is a useful way to allow some tests in a test script to be skipped in environments that do not support certain features (e.g. it is pointless to attempt checking how well symbolic links are handled by Git on filesystems that do not support them). It is OK for commonly used prerequisites to be always tested during start-up of a test script by having a codeblock that tests a feature and calls test_set_prereq, but for an uncommon feature, forcing 90% of scripts to pay the same probing overhead for prerequisite they do not care about is wasteful. Introduce a mechanism to probe the prerequiste lazily. Changes are: - test_lazy_prereq () function, which takes the name of the prerequisite it probes and the script to probe for it, is added. This only registers the name of the prerequiste that can be lazily probed and the script to eval (without running). - test_have_prereq() function (which is used by test_expect_success and also can be called directly by test scripts) learns to look at the list of prerequisites that can be lazily probed, and the prerequisites that have already been probed that way. When asked for a prerequiste that can be but haven't been probed, the script registered with an earlier call to test_lazy_prereq is evaluated and the prerequisite is set. - test_run_lazy_prereq_() function is a helper to run the probe script with the same kind of sandbox as regular tests, helped by Jeff King. Update the codeblock to probe and set SYMLINKS prerequisite using the new mechanism as an example. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-02-17Introduce a performance testing frameworkLibravatar Thomas Rast1-3/+23
This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible, and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers. The following points were considered for the implementation: 1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against each other. They may not have the performance test under consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure. To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions if it doesn't have them at hand yet. 2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run; or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for real-world use. 3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos is out of the question. We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries to use the build tree's git.git repository. This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-02-03tests: add write_script helper functionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+9
Many of the scripts in the test suite write small helper shell scripts to disk. It's best if these shell scripts start with "#!$SHELL_PATH" rather than "#!/bin/sh", because /bin/sh on some platforms is too buggy to be used. However, it can be cumbersome to expand $SHELL_PATH, because the usual recipe for writing a script is: cat >foo.sh <<-\EOF #!/bin/sh echo my arguments are "$@" EOF To expand $SHELL_PATH, you have to either interpolate the here-doc (which would require quoting "\$@"), or split the creation into two commands (interpolating the $SHELL_PATH line, but not the rest of the script). Let's provide a helper function that makes that less syntactically painful. While we're at it, this helper can also take care of the "chmod +x" that typically comes after the creation of such a script, saving the caller a line.

2012-01-23merge: use editor by default in interactive sessionsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
Traditionally, a cleanly resolved merge was committed by "git merge" using the auto-generated merge commit log message without invoking the editor. After 5 years of use in the field, it turns out that people perform too many unjustified merges of the upstream history into their topic branches. These merges are not just useless, but they are often not explained well, and making the end result unreadable when it gets time for merging their history back to their upstream. Earlier we added the "--edit" option to the command, so that people can edit the log message to explain and justify their merge commits. Let's take it one step further and spawn the editor by default when we are in an interactive session (i.e. the standard input and the standard output are pointing at the same tty device). There may be existing scripts that leave the standard input and the standard output of the "git merge" connected to whatever environment the scripts were started, and such invocation might trigger the above "interactive session" heuristics. GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable can be set to "no" at the beginning of such scripts to use the historical behaviour while the script runs. Note that this backward compatibility is meant only for scripts, and we deliberately do *not* support "merge.edit = yes/no/auto" configuration option to allow people to keep the historical behaviour.
