tests: reinstate logname error verification

2026-04-17T15:15:08Z

* tests/misc/user.sh: Modify the "unshare -U logname" test, so that it does not fail on glibc versions (< 2.28, >= 2.38) that do a fallback lookup based on the tty.

tests: Avoid accidental matching of the vendor field of $host, part 2

2026-04-17T04:16:08Z

* tests/local.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove host_triplet. * tests/chgrp/basic.sh: Use $host_os instead of $host_triplet. * tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Likewise.

tests: avoid a failure on musl

2026-04-16T21:20:49Z

* tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Allow a generic error string on musl since the first line is emitted immediately instead of being buffered as expected. Reported by Bruno Haible.

tests: avoid failure on Manjaro Linux

2026-04-16T20:07:46Z

* tests/misc/user.sh: Comment out part of test. Reported by Bruno Haible.

tests: avoid intermittent false failures with ksh

2026-04-15T14:34:19Z

As noted in https://bugs.gnu.org/9089 ksh gives intermittent ECONNRESET errors with closed pipes. This can be seen reliably on Linux with: ksh -c 'yes | (sleep .1; head -n10 >/dev/null)' * tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Avoid part of test on ksh. * tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Likewise.

tests: use more accurate ulimit with $SHELL -c

2026-04-15T14:24:26Z

* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Use a more accurate ulimit determination when we're using $SHELL -c.

tests: fix false failure due to race

2026-04-15T12:40:13Z

* tests/misc/tty-eof.pl: Fix a race that commit v9.10-269-gf312af49a made more apparent, and resulted in intermittent failure like: "... (with input) didn't produce expected output". Now Instead of waiting for overlapping echo and output, just wait for EOF, and if received, use exp->before() to inspect the accumulated output.

tests: validate error handling when reading multiple files

2026-04-11T21:43:33Z

* tests/misc/read-errors.sh: Validate that commands which read multiple files, read all files on error, and exit with appropriate status.

tests: validate command responsiveness

2026-04-10T16:49:01Z

* tests/misc/responsive.sh: Test commands that should output immediately upon receiving input, and that there is no unecessary buffering. * cfg.mk: Avoid false failure in sc_prohibit_test_backticks. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.

tests: cut: ensure separate read paths checked

2026-04-10T10:24:58Z

* tests/misc/read-errors.sh: Use cut -b as that has a separate read path to cut -c.
