protocol test: let protocol.version override GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION

2020-01-15T22:03:55Z

The GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION environment variable can be used to upgrade the version of Git protocol used in tests. If both GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION and 'protocol.version' are set, the higher value wins. For usage within tests, these semantics are too complex. Instead, always use the value from protocol.version configuration when it is set, falling back to GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION. This way, the envvar provides a reliable preview of what will happen if the default protocol version is changed. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'sg/test-bool-env'

2019-12-05T20:52:48Z

Recently we have declared that GIT_TEST_* variables take the usual boolean values (it used to be that some used "non-empty means true" and taking GIT_TEST_VAR=YesPlease as true); make sure we notice and fail when non-bool strings are given to these variables. * sg/test-bool-env: t5608-clone-2gb.sh: turn GIT_TEST_CLONE_2GB into a bool tests: add 'test_bool_env' to catch non-bool GIT_TEST_* values

tests: add 'test_bool_env' to catch non-bool GIT_TEST_* values

2019-11-23T02:16:08Z

Since 3b072c577b (tests: replace test_tristate with "git env--helper", 2019-06-21) we get the normalized bool values of various GIT_TEST_* environment variables via 'git env--helper'. Now, while the 'git env--helper' command itself does catch invalid values in the environment variable or in the given --default and exits with error (exit code 128 or 129, respectively), it's invoked in conditions like 'if ! git env--helper ...', which means that all invalid bool values are interpreted the same as the ordinary 'false' (exit code 1). This has led to inadvertently skipped httpd tests in our CI builds for a couple of weeks, see 3960290675 (ci: restore running httpd tests, 2019-09-06). Let's be more careful about what the test suite accepts as bool values in GIT_TEST_* environment variables, and error out loud and clear on invalid values instead of simply skipping tests. Add the 'test_bool_env' helper function to encapsulate the invocation of 'git env--helper' and the verification of its exit code, and replace all invocations of that command in our test framework and test suite with a call to this new helper (except in 't0017-env-helper.sh', of course). $ GIT_TEST_GIT_DAEMON=YesPlease ./t5570-git-daemon.sh fatal: bad numeric config value 'YesPlease' for 'GIT_TEST_GIT_DAEMON': invalid unit error: test_bool_env requires bool values both for $GIT_TEST_GIT_DAEMON and for the default fallback Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Start to implement a built-in version of `git add --interactive`

2019-11-14T02:10:04Z

Unlike previous conversions to C, where we started with a built-in helper, we start this conversion by adding an interception in the `run_add_interactive()` function when the new opt-in `add.interactive.useBuiltin` config knob is turned on (or the corresponding environment variable `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN`), and calling the new internal API function `run_add_i()` that is implemented directly in libgit.a. At this point, the built-in version of `git add -i` only states that it cannot do anything yet. In subsequent patches/patch series, the `run_add_i()` function will gain more and more functionality, until it is feature complete. The whole arc of the conversion can be found in the PRs #170-175 at https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git. The "--helper approach" can unfortunately not be used here: on Windows we face the very specific problem that a `system()` call in Perl seems to close `stdin` in the parent process when the spawned process consumes even one character from `stdin`. Which prevents us from implementing the main loop in C and still trying to hand off to the Perl script. The very real downside of the approach we have to take here is that the test suite won't pass with `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=true` until the conversion is complete (the `--helper` approach would have let it pass, even at each of the incremental conversion steps).

tests: make GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS a boolean

2019-06-21T16:42:49Z

Change the GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS variable from being "non-empty?" to being a more standard boolean variable. I recently added the variable in dfe1a17df9 ("tests: add a special setup where prerequisites fail", 2019-05-13), having to add another "non-empty?" special-case is what prompted me to write the "git env--helper" utility being used here. Converting this one is a bit tricky since we use it so early and frequently in the guts of the test code itself, so let's set a GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS_INTERNAL which can be tested with the old "test -n" for the purposes of the shell code, and change the user-exposed and documented GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS variable to a boolean.

tests README: re-flow a previously changed paragraph

2019-06-21T16:42:49Z

A previous change to the "GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON" variable left this paragraph needing to be re-flowed. Let's do that in this separate change to make it easy to see that there's no change here when viewed with "--word-diff". Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

tests: make GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON a boolean

2019-06-21T16:42:49Z

Change the GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON variable from being "non-empty?" to being a more standard boolean variable. Since it needed to be checked in both C code and shellscript (via test -n) it was one of the remaining shellscript-like variables. Now that we have "env--helper" we can change that. There's a couple of tricky edge cases that arise because we're using git_env_bool() early, and the config-reading "env--helper". If GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON is set to an invalid value die_bad_number() will die, but to do so it would usually call gettext(). Let's detect the special case of GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON and always emit that message in the C locale, lest we infinitely loop. As seen in the updated tests in t0017-env-helper.sh there's also a caveat related to "env--helper" needing to read the config for trace2 purposes. Since the C_LOCALE_OUTPUT prerequisite is lazy and relies on "env--helper" we could get invalid results if we failed to read the config (e.g. because we'd loop on includes) when combined with e.g. "test_i18ngrep" wanting to check with "env--helper" if GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON was true or not. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that a test similar to the one I removed in the earlier "config tests: simplify include cycle test" change in this series won't happen again, and testing for this explicitly in "env--helper"'s own tests. This change breaks existing uses of e.g. GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease, which we've documented in po/README and other places. As noted in [1] we might want to consider also accepting "YesPlease" in "env--helper" as a special-case. But as the lack of uproar over 6cdccfce1e ("i18n: make GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option", 2018-11-08) demonstrates the audience for this option is a really narrow set of git developers, who shouldn't have much trouble modifying their test scripts, so I think it's better to deal with that minor headache now and make all the relevant GIT_TEST_* variables boolean in the same way than carry the "YesPlease" special-case forward. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqtvckm3h8.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

tests: add a special setup where prerequisites fail

2019-05-14T07:48:17Z

As discussed in [1] there's a regression in the "pu" branch now because a new test implicitly assumed that a previous test guarded by a prerequisite had been run. Add a "GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS" special test setup where we'll skip (nearly) all tests guarded by prerequisites, allowing us to easily emulate those platform where we don't run these tests. As noted in the documentation I'm adding I'm whitelisting the SYMLINKS prerequisite for now. A lot of tests started failing if we lied about not supporting symlinks. It's also unlikely that we'll have a failing test due to a hard dependency on symlinks without that being the obvious cause, so for now it's not worth the effort to make it work. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1905131531000.44@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
