tests: tail-2/assert: reduce risk of race condition

2009-09-08T09:01:45Z

* tests/tail2/assert: This reverts commit be853120, 25-08-2009, "tests: tail-2/assert: avoid risk of race condition" kill -0 doesn't send a signal and so will only confirm that the background process was forked, which we know already because we have its pid.

tests: tail-2/assert: avoid risk of race condition

2009-08-26T07:25:21Z

* tests/tail-2/assert: Avoid spurious failure due to race condition. Rather than sleeping for 1 second and crossing fingers, wait explicitly for backgrounded tail process to start. Otherwise, this test would fail under heavy load.

maint: update all Copyright year lists to include 2009

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/'

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

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.

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.

tests: move the very-expensive file into test-lib.sh

2008-02-09T09:30:33Z

* tests/very-expensive: Remove file. * tests/test-lib.sh (very_expensive_): New function. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove very-expensive. * tests/cp/perm: Call the new function, rather than sourcing the file. * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Likewise. * tests/du/2g: Likewise.

Adapt tests/tail-2/ to use test-lib.sh.
