tests: use "Exit $fail", not (exit $fail); exit $fail

2008-09-10T11:20:10Z

* tests/test-lib.sh (Exit): New function by Ralf Wildenhues in automake http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=commitdiff;h=20594c08f63 * tests/**: Convert all uses: This restrictive change converted the vast majority: git grep -l '^(exit \$fail); exit \$fail$' \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/'^$exit \$fail$; exit \$fail$/Exit \$fail/' And this did the rest, plus a few undesirable ones, so I manually backed out the changes to ChangeLog-* and build-aux/check.mk: git grep -l -E '$exit [^)]+$; exit ' \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/$exit (.+?)$; exit \1/Exit $1/'

set envvars via "env" to avoid spurious set -x output from bad shells

2008-08-14T21:08:03Z

* tests/dd/misc: Set LC_ALL=C via env. * tests/cp/thru-dangling: Set POSIXLY_CORRECT via env. This is necessary at least on AIX 5.3. Reported by Jeph Cowan and Ralf Wildenhues. Details here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14235/focus=14257

dd: minor fullblock changes

2008-07-23T13:55:45Z

* src/dd.c (O_FULLBLOCK): Define using an enum, not #define. Derive the value, rather than hard-coding to one that might conflict. (usage): Mention iflag=fullblock in --help output. (scanargs): Reset the O_FULLBLOCK bit, so that we don't try to set an undefined attribute via fcntl (fd, F_SETFL, ... * tests/dd/misc: Signal framework_failure when necessary. Use "compare actual expected", so any diffs look "right". * NEWS (dd): Alphabetize and reword. * coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Adjust wording.

dd: new option: iflag=fullblock to accumulate full input blocks

2008-07-23T13:55:45Z

* src/dd.c (iread_fullblock): New function for reading full blocks. (scanargs): Check for new parameter iflag=fullblock. (skip): Use iread_fnc pointer instead of iread function. (dd_copy): Use iread_fnc pointer instead of iread function. * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd - read full blocks. * doc/coretuils.texi: Mention new parameter iflag=fullblock. * NEWS: Mentioned the change.

in 280+ tests/* files, use $srcdir, not $top_srcdir/tests

2008-05-27T11:48:32Z

Revamp test-related Makefiles.

2008-04-20T22:01:51Z

One side-effect of this change is that "make check" now works even if you put "." early in your shell's search PATH (don't do that!). Remove all test-related Makefile.am files, except those generated by mk-script. Instead, tests/Makefile.am now lists not only the tests directly under tests/, but also those in tests/*/ that are not generated by mk-script, e.g., cp/abuse, cp/acl, mv/i-1, etc. A lot of these changes are like this: -. $srcdir/../lang-default +. $top_srcdir/tests/lang-default -. $srcdir/../test-lib.sh +. $top_srcdir/tests/test-lib.sh * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove corresponding Makefiles. * tests/check.mk (vc_exe_in_TESTS): Relax syntax requirements. * tests/rwx-to-mode: Remove file. Rewritten as... * tests/test-lib.sh (rwx_to_mode_): ...this new function. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rwx-to-mode. (SUBDIRS): Remove each dir with a removed Makefile.am. (EXTRA_DIST): Add $(TESTS). (TESTS): Add over 300 entries.

dd bug fix: accept e.g., if=/dev/stdin and of=/dev/stdout

2008-03-31T06:37:58Z

* lib/fd-reopen.c: Work even if FILE is "/dev/stdin". Problem reported by Geoffrey Lee in . * tests/dd/misc: Check for this bug.

Require that "(exit $fail); exit $fail" be last line of each test.

2008-03-28T13:21:28Z

* maint.mk (sc_require_test_exit_idiom): New rule to enforce policy. * tests/cp/acl: Adhere to the new policy. * tests/cp/preserve-gid: Likewise. * tests/dd/misc: * tests/install/create-leading: * tests/ln/sf-1: * tests/ls/symlink-slash: * tests/misc/help-version: * tests/misc/ls-time: * tests/misc/nice: * tests/misc/shred-remove: * tests/misc/stty: * tests/misc/stty-row-col: * tests/mkdir/p-1: * tests/mkdir/p-2: * tests/mkdir/p-3: * tests/mkdir/p-v: * tests/mkdir/special-1: * tests/mkdir/writable-under-readonly: * tests/mv/acl: * tests/mv/backup-is-src: * tests/mv/diag: * tests/mv/dir-file: * tests/mv/force: * tests/mv/hard-link-1: * tests/mv/i-2: * tests/mv/i-4: * tests/mv/into-self: * tests/mv/into-self-2: * tests/mv/into-self-3: * tests/mv/partition-perm: * tests/mv/to-symlink: * tests/rmdir/ignore: * tests/tail-2/assert: * tests/tail-2/assert-2: * tests/touch/dangling-symlink: * tests/touch/dir-1: * tests/touch/empty-file: * tests/touch/fifo: * tests/touch/no-rights: Likewise.

More misc, test-related changes. (some to allow running tests as root)

2007-09-15T06:40:39Z

Convert tests/dd/*, too.
