From 01c381037c30e9351e439d367983f88bdd3415ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philippe Blain Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2021 04:39:00 +0000 Subject: test-lib-functions: keep user's debugger config files and TERM in 'debug' MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The 'debug' function in test-lib-functions.sh is used to invoke a debugger at a specific line in a test. It inherits the value of HOME and TERM set by 'test-lib.sh': HOME="$TRASH_DIRECTORY" and TERM=dumb. Changing the value of HOME means that any customization configured in a developers' debugger configuration file (like $HOME/.gdbinit or $HOME/.lldbinit) are not available in the debugger invoked by 'test_pause'. Changing the value of TERM to 'dumb' means that colored output is disabled in the debugger. To make the debugging experience with 'debug' more pleasant, leverage the variable USER_HOME, added in the previous commit, to copy a developer's ~/.gdbinit and ~/.lldbinit to the test HOME. We do not set HOME to USER_HOME as in 'test_pause' to avoid user configuration in $USER_HOME/.gitconfig from interfering with the command being debugged. Also, add a flag to launch the debugger with the original value of TERM, and add the same warning as for 'test_pause'.
