From 165293af3ce4535efa72eb51587383144a2b3f01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?SZEDER=20G=C3=A1bor?= Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2018 14:13:26 +0100 Subject: tests: send "bug in the test script" errors to the script's stderr MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Some of the functions in our test library check that they were invoked properly with conditions like this: test "$#" = 2 || error "bug in the test script: not 2 parameters to test-expect-success" If this particular condition is triggered, then 'error' will abort the whole test script with a bold red error message [1] right away. However, under certain circumstances the test script will be aborted completely silently, namely if: - a similar condition in a test helper function like 'test_line_count' is triggered, - which is invoked from the test script's "main" shell [2], - and the test script is run manually (i.e. './t1234-foo.sh' as opposed to 'make t1234-foo.sh' or 'make test') [3] - and without the '--verbose' option, because the error message is printed from within 'test_eval_', where standard output is redirected either to /dev/null or to a log file. The only indication that something is wrong is that not all tests in the script are executed and at the end of the test script's output there is no "# passed all N tests" message, which are subtle and can easily go unnoticed, as I had to experience myself. Send these "bug in the test script" error messages directly to the test scripts standard error and thus to the terminal, so those bugs will be much harder to overlook. Instead of updating all ~20 such 'error' calls with a redirection, let's add a BUG() function to 'test-lib.sh', wrapping an 'error' call with the proper redirection and also including the common prefix of those error messages, and convert all those call sites [4] to use this new BUG() function instead. [1] That particular error message from 'test_expect_success' is printed in color only when running with or without '--verbose'; with '--tee' or '--verbose-log' the error is printed without color, but it is printed to the terminal nonetheless. [2] If such a condition is triggered in a subshell of a test, then 'error' won't be able to abort the whole test script, but only the subshell, which in turn causes the test to fail in the usual way, indicating loudly and clearly that something is wrong. [3] Well, 'error' aborts the test script the same way when run manually or by 'make' or 'prove', but both 'make' and 'prove' pay attention to the test script's exit status, and even a silently aborted test script would then trigger those tools' usual noticable error messages. [4] Strictly speaking, not all those 'error' calls need that redirection to send their output to the terminal, see e.g. 'test_expect_success' in the opening example, but I think it's better to be consistent.
