2021-09-07test-lib-functions: optionally keep HOME, TERM and SHELL in 'test_pause'Libravatar Philippe Blain1-2/+4
The 'test_pause' function, which is designed to help interactive debugging and exploration of tests, currently inherits the value of HOME and TERM set by 'test-lib.sh': HOME="$TRASH_DIRECTORY" and TERM=dumb. It also invokes the shell defined by TEST_SHELL_PATH, which defaults to /bin/sh (through SHELL_PATH). Changing the value of HOME means that any customization configured in a developers' shell startup files and any Git aliases defined in their global Git configuration file are not available in the shell invoked by 'test_pause'. Changing the value of TERM to 'dumb' means that colored output is disabled for all commands in that shell. Using /bin/sh as the shell invoked by 'test_pause' is not ideal since some platforms (i.e. Debian and derivatives) use Dash as /bin/sh, and this shell is usually compiled without readline support, which makes for a poor interactive command line experience. To make the interactive command line experience in the shell invoked by 'test_pause' more pleasant, save the values of HOME and TERM in USER_HOME and USER_TERM before changing them in test-lib.sh, and add options to 'test_pause' to optionally use these variables to invoke the shell. Also add an option to invoke SHELL instead of TEST_SHELL_PATH, so that developer's interactive shell is used. We use options instead of changing the behaviour unconditionally since these three variables can slightly change command behaviour. Moreover, using the original HOME means commands could overwrite files in a user's home directory. Be explicit about these caveats in the new 'Usage' section in test-lib-functions.sh. Finally, add '[options]' to the test_pause synopsys in t/README, and mention that the full list of helper functions and their options can be found in test-lib-functions.sh.

2021-08-30test-lib: set GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES to protect the surrounding repositoryLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+2
Every once in a while a test somehow manages to escape from its trash directory and modifies the surrounding repository, whether because of a bug in git itself, a bug in a test [1], or e.g. when trying to run tests with a shell that is, in general, unable to run our tests [2]. Set GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES="$TRASH_DIRECTORY/.." as an additional safety measure to protect the surrounding repository at least from modifications by git commands executed in the tests (assuming that handling of ceiling directories during repository discovery is not broken, and, of course, it won't save us from regular shell commands, e.g. 'cd .. && rm -f ...'). [1] e.g. https://public-inbox.org/git/20210423051255.GD2947267@szeder.dev [2] $ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master $ ksh ./t2011-checkout-invalid-head.sh [... a lot of "not ok" ...] $ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/other (In short: 'ksh' doesn't support the 'local' builtin command, which is used by 'test_oid', causing it to return with error whenever it's called, leaving ZERO_OID set to empty, so when the test 'checkout main from invalid HEAD' runs 'echo $ZERO_OID >.git/HEAD' it writes a corrupt (not invalid) HEAD, and subsequent git commands don't recognize the repository in the trash directory anymore, but operate on the surrounding repo.)

Since c49a177bec (test-lib.sh: set COLUMNS=80 for --verbose repeatability, 2021-06-29) multiple tests have been failing when using bash 5 because checkwinsize is enabled by default, therefore COLUMNS is reset using TIOCGWINSZ even for non-interactive shells.

Windows rmdir() equivalent behaves differently from POSIX ones in that when used on a symbolic link that points at a directory, the target directory gets removed, which has been corrected. * tb/mingw-rmdir-symlink-to-directory: mingw: align symlinks-related rmdir() behavior with Linux
2021-08-02mingw: align symlinks-related rmdir() behavior with LinuxLibravatar Thomas Bétous1-0/+6
When performing a rebase, rmdir() is called on the folder .git/logs. On Unix rmdir() exits without deleting anything in case .git/logs is a symbolic link but the equivalent functions on Windows (_rmdir, _wrmdir and RemoveDirectoryW) do not behave the same and remove the folder if it is symlinked even if it is not empty. This creates issues when folders in .git/ are symlinks which is especially the case when git-repo[1] is used: It replaces `.git/logs/` with a symlink. One such issue is that the _target_ of that symlink is removed e.g. during a `git rebase`, where `delete_reflog("REBASE_HEAD")` will not only try to remove `.git/logs/REBASE_HEAD` but then recursively try to remove the parent directories until an error occurs, a technique that obviously relies on `rmdir()` refusing to remove a symlink. This was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2967. This commit updates mingw_rmdir() so that its behavior is the same as Linux rmdir() in case of symbolic links. To verify that Git does not regress on the reported issue, this patch adds a regression test for the `git rebase` symptom, even if the same `rmdir()` behavior is quite likely to cause potential problems in other Git commands as well. [1]: git-repo is a python tool built on top of Git which helps manage many Git repositories. It stores all the .git/ folders in a central place by taking advantage of symbolic links.

2021-07-20t0000: fix test if run with TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORYLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-0/+9
Testcases in t0000 are quite special given that they many of them run nested testcases to verify that testing functionality itself works as expected. These nested testcases are realized by writing a new ad-hoc test script which again sources test-lib.sh, where the new script is created in a nested subdirectory located beneath the current trash directory. We then execute the new test script with the nested subdirectory as current working directory and explicitly re-export TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to point to that directory. While this works as expected in the general case, it falls apart when the developer has TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY explicitly defined either via the environment or via config.mak and runs "make test". In that case, test-lib.sh will clobber the value that we've just carefully set up to instead contain what the developer has defined. As a result, the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY continues to point at the root output directory, not at the nested one. This issue causes breakage in the 'test_atexit is run' test case: the nested test case writes files into "../../", which is assumed to be the parent's trash directory. But because TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY already points to to the root output directory, we instead end up writing those files outside of the output directory. The parent test case will then try to check whether those files still exist in its own trash directory, which thus must fail now. Fix the issue by adding a new TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_OVERRIDE variable. If set, then we'll always override the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY with its value after sourcing GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.

2021-07-01test-lib: avoid accidental globbing in match_pattern_list()Libravatar Jeff King1-12/+22
We have a custom match_pattern_list() function which we use for matching test names (like "t1234") against glob-like patterns (like "t1???") for $GIT_SKIP_TESTS, --verbose-only, etc. Those patterns may have multiple whitespace-separated elements (e.g., "t0* t1234 t5?78"). The callers of match_pattern_list thus pass the strings unquoted, so that the shell does the usual field-splitting into separate arguments. But this also means the shell will do the usual globbing for each argument, which can result in us seeing an expansion based on what's in the filesystem, rather than the real pattern. For example, if I have the path "t5000" in the filesystem, and you feed the pattern "t?000", that _should_ match the string "t0000", but it won't after the shell has expanded it to "t5000". This has been a bug ever since that function was introduced. But it didn't usually trigger since we typically use the function inside the trash directory, which has a very limited set of files that are unlikely to match. It became a lot easier to trigger after edc23840b0 (test-lib: bring $remove_trash out of retirement, 2021-05-10), because now we match $GIT_SKIP_TESTS before even entering the trash directory. So the t5000 example above can be seen with: GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t?000 ./t0000-basic.sh which should skip all tests but doesn't. We can fix this by using "set -f" to ask the shell not to glob (which is in POSIX, so should hopefully be portable enough). We only want to do this in a subshell (to avoid polluting the rest of the script), which means we need to get the whole string intact into the match_pattern_list function by quoting it. Arguably this is a good idea anyway, since it makes it much more obvious that we intend to split, and it's not simply sloppy scripting.

2021-06-29test-lib.sh: set COLUMNS=80 for --verbose repeatabilityLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+3
Some tests will fail under --verbose because while we've unset COLUMNS since b1d645b58ac (tests: unset COLUMNS inherited from environment, 2012-03-27), we also look for the columns with an ioctl(.., TIOCGWINSZ, ...) on some platforms. By setting COLUMNS again we preempt the TIOCGWINSZ lookup in pager.c's term_columns(), it'll take COLUMNS over TIOCGWINSZ, This fixes t0500-progress-display.sh., which broke because of a combination of the this issue and the progress output reacting to the column width since 545dc345ebd (progress: break too long progress bar lines, 2019-04-12). The t5324-split-commit-graph.sh fails in a similar manner due to progress output, see [1] for details. The issue is not specific to progress.c, the diff code also checks COLUMNS and some of its tests can be made to fail in a similar manner[2], anything that invokes a pager is potentially affected.

The "chainlint" feature in the test framework is a handy way to catch common mistakes in writing new tests, but tends to get expensive. An knob to selectively disable it has been introduced to help running tests that the developer has not modified. * jk/test-chainlint-softer: t: avoid sed-based chain-linting in some expensive cases
2021-05-13t: avoid sed-based chain-linting in some expensive casesLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+5
Commit 878f988350 (t/test-lib: teach --chain-lint to detect broken &&-chains in subshells, 2018-07-11) introduced additional chain-lint tests which add an extra "sed" pipeline to each test we run. This has a measurable impact on runtime. Here are timings with and without a new environment variable (added by this patch) that lets you disable just the additional sed-based chain-lint tests: Benchmark #1: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 make test Time (mean ± σ): 64.202 s ± 1.030 s [User: 622.469 s, System: 301.402 s] Range (min … max): 61.571 s … 65.662 s 10 runs Benchmark #2: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 make test Time (mean ± σ): 57.591 s ± 0.333 s [User: 529.368 s, System: 270.618 s] Range (min … max): 57.143 s … 58.309 s 10 runs Summary 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 make test' ran 1.11 ± 0.02 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 make test' Of course those extra lint checks are doing something useful, so paying a few extra seconds (at least on Linux) isn't so bad (though note the CPU time; we're bounded in our parallel run here by the slowest test, so it really is ~120s of CPU improvement). But we can observe that there are some test scripts where they produce a much stronger effect, and provide less value. In t0027 and t3070 we run a very large number of small tests, all driven by a series of functions/loops which are filling in the test bodies. There we get much less bang for our buck in terms of bug-finding versus CPU cost. This patch introduces a mechanism for controlling when those extra lint checks are run, at two levels: - a user can ask to disable or to force-enable the checks by setting GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER - if the user hasn't specified a preference, individual scripts can disable the checks by setting GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER_DEFAULT; scripts which don't set that get the current behavior of enabling them. In addition, this patch flips the default for t0027 and t3070's mass-generated sections to disable the extra checks. Here are the timing results for t0027: Benchmark #1: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh Time (mean ± σ): 17.078 s ± 0.848 s [User: 14.878 s, System: 7.075 s] Range (min … max): 15.952 s … 18.421 s 10 runs Benchmark #2: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh Time (mean ± σ): 9.063 s ± 0.759 s [User: 7.890 s, System: 3.362 s] Range (min … max): 7.747 s … 10.619 s 10 runs Benchmark #3: ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh Time (mean ± σ): 9.186 s ± 0.881 s [User: 7.957 s, System: 3.427 s] Range (min … max): 7.796 s … 10.498 s 10 runs Summary 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh' ran 1.01 ± 0.13 times faster than './t0027-auto-crlf.sh' 1.88 ± 0.18 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh' We can see that disabling the checks for the whole script buys us an almost 2x speedup. But the new default behavior, disabling them only for the mass-generated part, gets us most of that speedup (but still leaves the checks on for further manual tests people might write). As a side note, I'd caution about comparing runtimes and CPU seconds between this timing and the earlier "make test" one. In "make test", we're running a lot of scripts in parallel, so the CPU is throttling down (and thus a CPU second saved here would count for more during a parallel run; the same work takes more CPU seconds there). We get similar results for t3070: Benchmark #1: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh Time (mean ± σ): 20.054 s ± 3.967 s [User: 16.003 s, System: 8.286 s] Range (min … max): 11.891 s … 23.671 s 10 runs Benchmark #2: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh Time (mean ± σ): 12.399 s ± 2.256 s [User: 7.542 s, System: 5.342 s] Range (min … max): 9.606 s … 15.727 s 10 runs Benchmark #3: ./t3070-wildmatch.sh Time (mean ± σ): 10.726 s ± 3.476 s [User: 6.790 s, System: 4.365 s] Range (min … max): 5.444 s … 15.376 s 10 runs Summary './t3070-wildmatch.sh' ran 1.16 ± 0.43 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh' 1.87 ± 0.71 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh' Again, we get almost a 2x speedup disabling these. In this case, there are no tests not covered by the script's "default to disable" behavior, so the second two benchmarks should be the same (and while they do differ, you can see the variance is quite high but they're within one standard deviation). So it seems like for these two scripts, at least, disabling the extra checks is a reasonable tradeoff. Sadly, the overall runtime of "make test" on my system doesn't get much faster. But that's because we're mostly limited by the cost of the single biggest test. Here are the top-5 tests by wall-clock time from a parallel run, before my patch: 57.9192368984222 t9001-send-email.sh 45.6329638957977 t0027-auto-crlf.sh 32.5278220176697 t3070-wildmatch.sh 22.2701289653778 t7610-mergetool.sh 20.8635759353638 t1701-racy-split-index.sh And after: 57.1476998329163 t9001-send-email.sh 33.776211977005 t0027-auto-crlf.sh 21.3116669654846 t7610-mergetool.sh 20.7748689651489 t1701-racy-split-index.sh 19.6957249641418 t7112-reset-submodule.sh We dropped 12s from t0027, and t3070 dropped off our list entirely at around 16s. In both cases we're bound by t9001, but its slowness is due to the actual tests, so we'll have to deal with it in a different way. But this reduces overall CPU, and means that dealing with t9001 (by improving the speed of send-email or splitting it apart) will let us reduce our overall runtime even on multi-core machines.

2021-05-11test-lib: split up and deprecate test_create_repo()Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+2
Remove various redundant or obsolete code from the test_create_repo() function, and split up its use in test-lib.sh from what tests need from it. This leave us with a pass-through wrapper for "git init" in test-lib-functions.sh, in test-lib.sh we have the same, except for needing to redirect stdout/stderr, and emitting an error ourselves if it fails. We don't need to error() ourselves when test_create_repo() is invoked, as the invocation will be a part of a test's "&&"-chain. Everything below this paragraph is a detailed summary of the history of test_create_repo() explaining why it's safe to remove the various things it was doing: 1. "mkdir -p" isn't needed because "git init" itself will create leading directories if needed. 2. Since we're now a simple wrapper for "git init" we don't need to check that we have only one argument. If someone wants to run "test_create_repo --bare x" that's OK. 3. We won't ever hit that "Cannot setup test environment" error. Checking the test environment sanity when doing "git init" dates back to eea420693be (t0000: catch trivial pilot errors., 2005-12-10) and 2ccd2027b01 (trivial: check, if t/trash directory was successfully created, 2006-01-05). We can also see it in another form a bit later in my own 0d314ce834d (test-lib: use subshell instead of cd $new && .. && cd $old, 2010-08-30). But since 2006f0adaee (t/test-lib: make sure Git has already been built, 2012-09-17) we already check if we have a built git earlier. The one thing this was testing after that 2012 change was that we'd just built "git", but not "git-init", but since 3af4c7156c4 (tests: respect GIT_TEST_INSTALLED when initializing repositories, 2018-11-12) we invoke "git", not "git-init". So all of that's been checked already, and we don't need to re-check it here. 4. We don't need to move .git/hooks out of the way. That dates back to c09a69a83e3 (Disable hooks during tests., 2005-10-16), since then hooks became disabled by default in f98f8cbac01 (Ship sample hooks with .sample suffix, 2008-06-24). So the hooks were already disabled by default, but as can be seen from "mkdir .git/hooks" changes various tests needed to re-setup that directory. Now they no longer do. This makes us implicitly depend on the default hooks being disabled, which is a good thing. If and when we'd have any on-by-default hooks (I see no reason we ever would) we'd want to see the subtle and not so subtle ways that would break the test suite. 5. We don't need to "cd" to the "$repo" directory at all anymore. In the code being removed here we both "cd"'d to the repository before calling "init", and did so in a subshell. It's not important to do either, so both of those can be removed. We cd'd because this code grew from test-lib.sh code where we'd have done so already, see eedf8f97e58 (Abstract test_create_repo out for use in tests., 2006-02-17), and later "cd"'d inside a subshell since 0d314ce834d to avoid having to keep track of an "old pwd" variable to cd back after the setup. Being in the repository directory made moving the hooks around easier (we wouldn't have to fully qualify the path). Since we're not moving the hooks per #4 above we don't need to "cd" for that reason either. 6. We can drop the --template argument and instead rely on the GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR set to the same path earlier in test-lib.sh. See 8683a45d669 (Introduce GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR, 2006-12-19) 7. We only needed that ">&3 2>&4" redirection when invoked from test-lib.sh. We could still invoke test_create_repo() there, but as the invocation is now trivial and we don't have a good reason to use test_create_repo() elsewhere let's call "git init" there ourselves. 8. We didn't need to resolve "git" as "${GIT_TEST_INSTALLED:-$GIT_EXEC_PATH}/git$X" in test_create_repo(), even for the use of test-lib.sh PATH is already set up in test-lib.sh to start with GIT_TEST_INSTALLED and/or GIT_EXEC_PATH before test_create_repo() (now "git init") is called.. So we can simply run "git" and rely on the PATH lookup choosing the right executable. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-05-11test-lib: do not show advice about init.defaultBranch under --verboseLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+5
Arrange for the advice about naming the initial branch not to be shown in the --verbose output of the test suite. Since 675704c74dd (init: provide useful advice about init.defaultBranch, 2020-12-11) some tests have been very chatty with repeated occurrences of this multi-line advice. Having it be this verbose isn't helpful for anyone in the context of git's own test suite, and it makes debugging tests that use their own "git init" invocations needlessly distracting. By setting the GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME variable early in test-lib.sh itself we'll squash the warning not only for test_create_repo(), as 675704c74dd explicitly intended, but also for other "git init" invocations. And once we'd like to have this configuration set for all "git init" invocations in the test suite we can get rid of the init.defaultBranch configuration setting in test_create_repo(), as repo_default_branch_name() in refs.c will take the GIT_TEST_* variable over it being set.

2021-05-11test-lib: bring $remove_trash out of retirementLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-14/+18
There's no point in creating a repository or directory only to decide right afterwards that we're skipping all the tests. We can save ourselves the redundant "git init" or "mkdir" and "rm -rf" in this case. We carry around the "$remove_trash" variable because if the directory is unexpectedly gone at test_done time we'll still want to hit the "trash directory already removed" error, but not if we never created the trash directory. See df4c0d1a792 (test-lib: abort when can't remove trash directory, 2017-04-20) for the addition of that error. So let's partially revert 06478dab4c (test-lib: retire $remove_trash variable, 2017-04-23) and move the decision about whether to skip all tests earlier. Let's also fix a bug that was with us since abc5d372ec (Enable parallel tests, 2008-08-08): we would leak $remove_trash from the environment. We don't want this to error out, so let's reset it to the empty string first: remove_trash=t GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t0001 ./t0001-init.sh I tested this with --debug, see 4d0912a206 (test-lib.sh: do not barf under --debug at the end of the test, 2017-04-24) for a bug we don't want to re-introduce. While I'm at it, let's move the HOME assignment to just before test_create_repo, it could be lower, but it seems better to set it before calling anything in test-lib-functions.sh Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2021-04-30cygwin: disallow backslashes in file namesLibravatar Adam Dinwoodie1-0/+2
The backslash character is not a valid part of a file name on Windows. If, in Windows, Git attempts to write a file that has a backslash character in the filename, it will be incorrectly interpreted as a directory separator. This caused CVE-2019-1354 in MinGW, as this behaviour can be manipulated to cause the checkout to write to files it ought not write to, such as adding code to the .git/hooks directory. This was fixed by e1d911dd4c (mingw: disallow backslash characters in tree objects' file names, 2019-09-12). However, the vulnerability also exists in Cygwin: while Cygwin mostly provides a POSIX-like path system, it will still interpret a backslash as a directory separator. To avoid this vulnerability, CVE-2021-29468, extend the previous fix to also apply to Cygwin. Similarly, extend the test case added by the previous version of the commit. The test suite doesn't have an easy way to say "run this test if in MinGW or Cygwin", so add a new test prerequisite that covers both. As well as checking behaviour in the presence of paths containing backslashes, the existing test also checks behaviour in the presence of paths that differ only by the presence of a trailing ".". MinGW follows normal Windows application behaviour and treats them as the same path, but Cygwin more closely emulates *nix systems (at the expense of compatibility with native Windows applications) and will create and distinguish between such paths. Gate the relevant bit of that test accordingly.

2021-01-26test-lib: prevent '--stress-jobs=X' from being ignoredLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-4/+4
'./t1234-foo.sh --stress-jobs=X ...' is supposed to run that test script in X parallel jobs, but the number of jobs specified on the command line is entirely ignored if other '--stress'-related options follow. I.e. both './t1234-foo.sh --stress-jobs=X --stress-limit=Y' and './t1234-foo.sh --stress-jobs=X --stress' fall back to using twice the number of CPUs parallel jobs instead. The former has been broken since commit de69e6f6c9 (tests: let --stress-limit=<N> imply --stress, 2019-03-03) [1], which started to unconditionally overwrite the $stress variable holding the specified number of jobs in its effort to imply '--stress'. The latter has been broken since f545737144 (tests: introduce --stress-jobs=<N>, 2019-03-03), because it didn't consider that handling '--stress' will overwrite that variable as well. We could fix this by being more careful about (over)writing that $stress variable and checking first whether it has already been set. But I think it's cleaner to use a dedicated variable to hold the number of specified parallel jobs, so let's do that instead. [1] In de69e6f6c9 there was no '--stress-jobs=X' option yet, the number of parallel jobs had to be specified via '--stress=X', so, strictly speaking, de69e6f6c9 broke './t1234-foo.sh --stress=X --stress-limit=Y'.

2021-01-21tests: remove support for GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISONLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-19/+4
This removes the ability to inject "poison" gettext() messages via the GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON special test setup. I initially added this as a compile-time option in bb946bba761 (i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly translator, 2011-02-22), and most recently modified to be toggleable at runtime in 6cdccfce1e0 (i18n: make GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option, 2018-11-08).. The reason for its removal is that the trade-off of maintaining it v.s. what it's getting us has long since flipped. When gettext was integrated in 5e9637c6297 (i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext, 2011-11-18) there was understandable concern on the Git ML that in marking messages for translation en-masse we'd inadvertently mark plumbing messages. The GETTEXT_POISON facility was a way to smoke those out via our test suite. Nowadays however we're done (or almost entirely done) with any marking of messages for translation. New messages are usually marked by their authors, who'll know whether it makes sense to translate them or not. If not any errors in marking the messages are much more likely to be spotted in review than in the the initial deluge of i18n patches in the 2011-2012 era. So let's just remove this. This leaves the test suite in a state where we still have a lot of test_i18n, C_LOCALE_OUTPUT etc. uses. Subsequent commits will remove those too. The change to t/lib-rebase.sh is a selective revert of the relevant part of f2d17068fd (i18n: rebase-interactive: mark comments of squash for translation, 2016-06-17), and the comment in t/t3406-rebase-message.sh is from c7108bf9ed (i18n: rebase: mark messages for translation, 2012-07-25).

The existing schedule mechanism using 'cron' is supported by POSIX platforms, but not Windows. It also works slightly differently on macOS to significant detriment of the user experience. To allow for new implementations on these platforms, extract a method that performs the platform-specific scheduling mechanism. This will be swapped at compile time with new implementations on specialized platforms. As we add this generality, rename GIT_TEST_CRONTAB to GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER. Further, this variable is now parsed as "<scheduler>:<command>" so we can test platform-specific scheduling logic even when not on the correct platform. By specifying the <scheduler> in this string, we will be able to test all three sets of Git logic from a Linux machine.

To allow for an incremental conversion to a new default main branch name, let's introduce `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME`. This environment variable can be set at the top of each converted test script, overriding the default main branch name to use when initializing new repositories (or cloning empty repositories). Note: the `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME` is _not_ intended to be used manually; many tests require a specific main branch name and cannot simply work with another one. This `GIT_TEST_*` variable is meant purely for the transitional period while the entire test suite is converted to use `main` as the initial branch name by default. We also introduce the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq that determines whether the default main branch name is `main`, and adjust a couple of test functions to use it. This prereq will be used to temporarily disable a couple test cases to allow for adjusting the test script incrementally. Once an entire test is adjusted, we will adjust the test so that it is run with `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME=main`.

2020-10-21perl: check for perl warnings while running testsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
We set "use warnings" in most of our perl code to catch problems. But as the name implies, warnings just emit a message to stderr and don't otherwise affect the program. So our tests are quite likely to miss that warnings are being spewed, as most of them do not look at stderr. We could ask perl to make all warnings fatal, but this is likely annoying for non-developers, who would rather have a running program with a warning than something that refuses to work at all. So instead, let's teach the perl code to respect an environment variable (GIT_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) to increase the severity of the warnings. This can be set for day-to-day running if people want to be really pedantic, but the primary use is to trigger it within the test suite. We could also trigger that for every test run, but likewise even the tests failing may be annoying to distro builders, etc (just as -Werror would be for compiling C code). So we'll tie it to a special test-mode variable (GIT_TEST_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) that can be set in the environment or as a Makefile knob, and we'll automatically turn the knob when DEVELOPER=1 is set. That should give developers and CI the more careful view without disrupting normal users or packagers. Note that the mapping from the GIT_TEST_* form to the GIT_* form in test-lib.sh is necessary even if they had the same name: the perl scripts need it to be normalized to a perl truth value, and we also have to make sure it's exported (we might have gotten it from the environment, but we might also have gotten it from GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS directly).

Also, I often find myself wanting to run just one or a couple tests from the test file, but I don't know the numbering of any of the tests -- to get it I either have to first run the whole test file (or start counting by hand or figure out some other clever but non-obvious tricks). It's really convenient to be able to just look at the test description(s) and then run ./t6416-recursive-corner-cases.sh --run=symlink or ./t6402-merge-rename.sh --run='setup,unnecessary update' Add such an ability to test selection which relies on merely matching against the test description.

2020-09-25maintenance: add start/stop subcommandsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+6
Add new subcommands to 'git maintenance' that start or stop background maintenance using 'cron', when available. This integration is as simple as I could make it, barring some implementation complications. The schedule is laid out as follows: 0 1-23 * * * $cmd maintenance run --schedule=hourly 0 0 * * 1-6 $cmd maintenance run --schedule=daily 0 0 * * 0 $cmd maintenance run --schedule=weekly where $cmd is a properly-qualified 'git for-each-repo' execution: $cmd=$path/git --exec-path=$path for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo where $path points to the location of the Git executable running 'git maintenance start'. This is critical for systems with multiple versions of Git. Specifically, macOS has a system version at '/usr/bin/git' while the version that users can install resides at '/usr/local/bin/git' (symlinked to '/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git'). This will also use your locally-built version if you build and run this in your development environment without installing first. This conditional schedule avoids having cron launch multiple 'git for-each-repo' commands in parallel. Such parallel commands would likely lead to the 'hourly' and 'daily' tasks competing over the object database lock. This could lead to to some tasks never being run! Since the --schedule=<frequency> argument will run all tasks with _at least_ the given frequency, the daily runs will also run the hourly tasks. Similarly, the weekly runs will also run the daily and hourly tasks. The GIT_TEST_CRONTAB environment variable is not intended for users to edit, but instead as a way to mock the 'crontab [-l]' command. This variable is set in test-lib.sh to avoid a future test from accidentally running anything with the cron integration from modifying the user's schedule. We use GIT_TEST_CRONTAB='test-tool crontab <file>' in our tests to check how the schedule is modified in 'git maintenance (start|stop)' commands.

Many scripts use test_tick to get consistent and sensibly incrementing timestamps as they create commits. But other scripts don't particularly care about the timestamp, and are happy to use whatever the current system time is. This non-determinism can be annoying: - when debugging a test, comparing results between two runs can be difficult, because the commit ids change - this can sometimes cause tests to be racy. E.g., traversal order depends on timestamp order. Even in a well-ordered set of commands, because our timestamp granularity is one second, two commits might sometimes have the same timestamp and sometimes differ. Let's set a default timestamp for all scripts to use. Any that use test_tick already will be unaffected (because their first test_tick call will overwrite our default), but it will make things a bit more deterministic for those that don't. We should be able to choose any time we want here. I picked this one because: - it differs from the initial test_tick default, which may make it easier to distinguish when debugging tests. I picked "April 1st 13:14:15" in the hope that it might stand out. - it's slightly before the test_tick default. Some tests create some commits before the first call to test_tick, so using an older timestamps for those makes sense chronologically. Note that this isn't how things currently work (where system times are usually more recent than test_tick), but that also allows us to flush out a few hidden timestamp dependencies (like the one recently fixed in t5539). - we could likewise pick any timezone we want. Choosing +0000 would have required fixing up fewer tests, but we're more likely to turn up interesting cases by not matching $TZ exactly. And since test_tick already checks "-0700", let's try something in the "+" zone range for variety. It's possible that the non-deterministic times could help flush out bugs (e.g., if something broke when the clock flipped over to 2021, our test suite would let us know). But historically that hasn't been the case; all time-dependent outcomes we've seen turned out to be accidentally flaky tests (which we fixed by using test_tick). If we do want to cover handling the current time, we should dedicate one script to doing so, and have it unset GIT_COMMITTER_DATE explicitly.
