Many of our test scripts have several "setup" tests. It's a lot easier
to say
./t0050-filesystem.sh --run=setup,9
in order to run all the setup tests as well as test #9, than it is to
track down what all the setup tests are and enter all their numbers in
the list. Also, I often find myself wanting to run just one or a couple
tests from the test file, but I don't know the numbering of any of the
tests -- to get it I either have to first run the whole test file (or
start counting by hand or figure out some other clever but non-obvious
tricks). It's really convenient to be able to just look at the test
description(s) and then run
./t6416-recursive-corner-cases.sh --run=symlink
or
./t6402-merge-rename.sh --run='setup,unnecessary update'
Add such an ability to test selection which relies on merely matching
against the test description.

Add new subcommands to 'git maintenance' that start or stop background
maintenance using 'cron', when available. This integration is as simple
as I could make it, barring some implementation complications.
The schedule is laid out as follows:
0 1-23 * * * $cmd maintenance run --schedule=hourly
0 0 * * 1-6 $cmd maintenance run --schedule=daily
0 0 * * 0 $cmd maintenance run --schedule=weekly
where $cmd is a properly-qualified 'git for-each-repo' execution:
$cmd=$path/git --exec-path=$path for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo
where $path points to the location of the Git executable running 'git
maintenance start'. This is critical for systems with multiple versions
of Git. Specifically, macOS has a system version at '/usr/bin/git' while
the version that users can install resides at '/usr/local/bin/git'
(symlinked to '/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git'). This will also use
your locally-built version if you build and run this in your development
environment without installing first.
This conditional schedule avoids having cron launch multiple 'git
for-each-repo' commands in parallel. Such parallel commands would likely
lead to the 'hourly' and 'daily' tasks competing over the object
database lock. This could lead to to some tasks never being run! Since
the --schedule=<frequency> argument will run all tasks with _at least_
the given frequency, the daily runs will also run the hourly tasks.
Similarly, the weekly runs will also run the daily and hourly tasks.
The GIT_TEST_CRONTAB environment variable is not intended for users to
edit, but instead as a way to mock the 'crontab [-l]' command. This
variable is set in test-lib.sh to avoid a future test from accidentally
running anything with the cron integration from modifying the user's
schedule. We use GIT_TEST_CRONTAB='test-tool crontab <file>' in our
tests to check how the schedule is modified in 'git maintenance
(start|stop)' commands.

Currently, the SHA1 prerequisite depends on the output of git
hash-object. However, in order for that to produce sane behavior, we
must be in a repository. If we are not, the default will remain SHA-1,
and we'll produce wrong results if we're using SHA-256 for the testsuite
but the test assertion starts when we're not in a repository.
Check the environment variable we use for this purpose, leaving it to
default to SHA-1 if none is specified.

We always set the name and email for committer and author idents to make
the test suite more deterministic, but not timestamps. Many scripts use
test_tick to get consistent and sensibly incrementing timestamps as they
create commits. But other scripts don't particularly care about the
timestamp, and are happy to use whatever the current system time is.
This non-determinism can be annoying:
- when debugging a test, comparing results between two runs can be
difficult, because the commit ids change
- this can sometimes cause tests to be racy. E.g., traversal order
depends on timestamp order. Even in a well-ordered set of commands,
because our timestamp granularity is one second, two commits might
sometimes have the same timestamp and sometimes differ.
Let's set a default timestamp for all scripts to use. Any that use
test_tick already will be unaffected (because their first test_tick call
will overwrite our default), but it will make things a bit more
deterministic for those that don't.
We should be able to choose any time we want here. I picked this one
because:
- it differs from the initial test_tick default, which may make it
easier to distinguish when debugging tests. I picked "April 1st
13:14:15" in the hope that it might stand out.
- it's slightly before the test_tick default. Some tests create some
commits before the first call to test_tick, so using an older
timestamps for those makes sense chronologically. Note that this
isn't how things currently work (where system times are usually more
recent than test_tick), but that also allows us to flush out a few
hidden timestamp dependencies (like the one recently fixed in
t5539).
- we could likewise pick any timezone we want. Choosing +0000 would
have required fixing up fewer tests, but we're more likely to turn
up interesting cases by not matching $TZ exactly. And since
test_tick already checks "-0700", let's try something in the "+"
zone range for variety.
It's possible that the non-deterministic times could help flush out bugs
(e.g., if something broke when the clock flipped over to 2021, our test
suite would let us know). But historically that hasn't been the case;
all time-dependent outcomes we've seen turned out to be accidentally
flaky tests (which we fixed by using test_tick). If we do want to cover
handling the current time, we should dedicate one script to doing so,
and have it unset GIT_COMMITTER_DATE explicitly.

The `test_expect_*` functions use `test_eval_` and so does
`test_run_lazy_prereq_`. If tracing is enabled via the `-x` option,
`test_eval_` turns on tracing while evaluating the code block, and turns
it off directly after it.
This is unwanted for nested invocations.
One somewhat surprising example of this is when running a test that
calls `test_i18ngrep`: that function requires the `C_LOCALE_OUTPUT`
prereq, and that prereq is a lazy one, so it is evaluated via
`test_eval_`, the command tracing is turned off, and the test case
continues to run _without tracing the commands_.
Another somewhat surprising example is when one lazy prereq depends on
another lazy prereq: the former will call `test_have_prereq` with the
latter one, which in turn calls `test_eval_` and -- you guessed it --
tracing (if enabled) will be turned off _before_ returning to evaluating
the other lazy prereq.
As we will introduce just such a scenario with the GPG, GPGSM and
RFC1991 prereqs, let's fix that by introducing a variable that keeps
track of the current trace level: nested `test_eval_` calls will
increment and then decrement the level, and only when it reaches 0, the
tracing will _actually_ be turned off.

When debugging a test (or a set of tests), it's common to execute it
with some combination of short options, such as:
$ ./txxx-testname.sh -d -x -i
In cases like this, CLIs usually allow the short options to be bundled
in a single argument, for convenience and agility. Let's add this
feature to test-lib, allowing the above command to be run as:
$ ./txxx-testname.sh -dxi
(or any other permutation, e.g. '-ixd')
Note: Short options that require an argument can also be used in a
bundle, in any position. So, for example, '-r 5 -x', '-xr 5' and '-rx 5'
are all valid and equivalent. A special case would be having a bundle
with more than one of such options. To keep things simple, this case is
not allowed for now. This shouldn't be a major limitation, though, as
the only short option that requires an argument today is '-r'. And
concatenating '-r's as in '-rr 5 6' would probably not be very
practical: its unbundled format would be '-r 5 -r 6', for which test-lib
currently considers only the last argument. Therefore, if '-rr 5 6' were
to be allowed, it would have the same effect as just typing '-r 6'.
Note: the test-lib currently doesn't support '-r5', as an alternative
for '-r 5', so the former is not supported in bundles as well.

In t0000, more precisely in its `test_bool_env` test case, there are two
subshells that are supposed to fail. To be even _more_ precise, they
fail by calling the `error` function, and that is okay, because it is in
a subshell, and it is expected that those two subshell invocations fail.
However, the `error` function also tries to finalize the JUnit XML (if
that XML was asked for, via `--write-junit-xml`. As a consequence, the
XML is edited to add a `time` attribute for the `testsuite` tag. And
since there are two expected `error` calls in addition to the final
`test_done`, the `finalize_junit_xml` function is called three times and
naturally the `time` attribute is added _three times_.
Azure Pipelines is not happy with that, complaining thusly:
##[warning]Failed to read D:\a\1\s\t\out\TEST-t0000-basic.xml. Error : 'time' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 2, position 82..
One possible way to address this would be to unset `write_junit_xml` in
the `test_bool_env` test case.
But that would be fragile, as other `error` calls in subshells could be
introduced.
So let's just modify `finalize_junit_xml` to remove any `time` attribute
before adding the authoritative one.

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

Avoid this unnecessary prereq evaluation by checking the list of test

When the `--immediate` option is in effect, any test failure will
immediately exit the test script. Together with `--write-junit-xml`, we
will want the JUnit-style `.xml` file to be finalized (and not leave the
XML incomplete). Let's make it so.
This comes in particularly handy when trying to debug via Azure
Pipelines, where the JUnit-style XML is consumed to present the test
results in an informative and helpful way.
While at it, also handle the `error()` code path.
The only remaining code path that sets `GIT_EXIT_OK` happens whenever
the trash directory could not be set up, i.e. long before the JUnit XML
was written, therefore we should _not_ try to finalize that XML in that
case.
It is tempting to change the `immediate` code path to just hand off to
`error`, simplifying the code in the process. That would, however,
result in a change of behavior (an additional error message) in the test
suite, which is outside of the purview of the current patch series: its

Change the GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS variable from being "non-empty?" to

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.

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.

The JGIT prereq uses `type jgit` to determine whether jgit is present.

badly broken. This wastes time running tests which fail due to no fault

Use `jgit --version` instead, to guard against cases where jgit is

issue, or missing Java dependencies. Checking that it gets far enough
to process the '--version' argument isn't perfect, but seems to be good

Git's command-line parsers support uniquely abbreviated options, e.g.
`git init --ba` would automatically expand `--ba` to `--bare`.
This is a very convenient feature in every day life for Git users, in
particular when tab completion is not available.
However, it is not a good idea to rely on that in Git's test suite, as
something that is a unique abbreviation of a command line option today
might no longer be a unique abbreviation tomorrow.
For example, if a future contribution added a new mode
`git init --babyproofing` and a previously-introduced test case used the
fact that `git init --ba` expanded to `git init --bare`, that future
contribution would now have to touch seemingly unrelated tests just to
keep the test suite from failing.
So let's disallow abbreviated options in the test suite by default.
Note: for ease of implementation, this patch really only touches the
`parse-options` machinery: more and more hand-rolled option parsers are
converted to use that internal API, and more and more scripts are
converted to built-ins (naturally using the parse-options API, too), so
in practice this catches most issues, and is definitely the biggest bang
for the buck.

This allows us to use the test suite to produce trace2 test data,

One caveat here is that we produce trace output for not *just* the

When running Apache, 'git daemon', or p4d, we want to kill them at the
end of the test script, otherwise a leftover daemon process will keep
its port open indefinitely, and thus will interfere with subsequent
executions of the same test script.
So far, we stop these daemon processes "manually", i.e.:
- by registering functions or commands in the trap on EXIT to stop
the daemon while preserving the last seen exit code before the
trap (to deal with a failure when run with '--immediate' or with
interrupts by ctrl-C),
- and by invoking these functions/commands last thing before
'test_done' (and sometimes restoring the test framework's default
trap on EXIT, to prevent the daemons from being killed twice).
On one hand, we do this inconsistently, e.g. 'git p4' tests invoke
different functions in the trap on EXIT and in the last test before
'test_done', and they neither restore the test framework's default trap
on EXIT nor preserve the last seen exit code. On the other hand, this
is error prone, because, as shown in a previous patch in this series,
any output from the cleanup commands in the trap on EXIT can prevent a
proper cleanup when a test script run with '--verbose-log' and certain
shells, notably 'dash', is interrupted.
Let's introduce 'test_atexit', which is loosely modeled after
'test_when_finished', but has a broader scope: rather than running the
commands after the current test case, run them when the test script
finishes, and also run them when the test is interrupted, or exits
early in case of a failure while the '--immediate' option is in
effect.
When running the cleanup commands at the end of a successful test,
then they will be run in 'test_done' before it removes the trash
directory, i.e. the cleanup commands will still be able to access any
pidfiles or socket files in there. When running the cleanup commands
after an interrupt or failure with '--immediate', then they will be
run in the trap on EXIT. In both cases they will be run in
'test_eval_', i.e. both standard error and output of all cleanup
commands will go where they should according to the '-v' or
'--verbose-log' options, and thus won't cause any troubles when
interrupting a test script run with '--verbose-log'.

When a test script run with 'dash' and '--verbose-log -x' is
interrupted by ctrl-C, SIGTERM, or closing the terminal window, then
most of the time the registered EXIT trap actions are not executed.
This is an annoying issue with tests involving daemons, because they
should run cleanup commands to kill those daemon processes in the trap
on EXIT, but since these cleanup commands are not executed, the
daemons are left alive and keep their port open, thus interfering with
subsequent execution of the same test script.
The cause of this issue is the subtle combination of several factors
(bear with me, or skip over the indented part):
- Even when the test script is interrupted, the cleanup commands are
not run in the trap on INT, TERM, or HUP, but in the trap on EXIT
after the trap on the signals invokes 'exit' [1].
- According to POSIX [2]:
"The environment in which the shell executes a trap on EXIT
shall be identical to the environment immediately after the last
command executed before the trap on EXIT was taken."
Pertinent to the issue at hand is that all open file descriptors
and the state of '-x' tracing should be preserved. All shells
I've tried [3] preserve '-x'. Unfortunately, however:
- 'dash' doesn't conform to this when it comes to open file
descriptors: even when standard output and/or error are
redirected somewhere when 'exit' is invoked, anything written
to them in the trap on EXIT goes to the script's original
stdout and stderr [4].
We can't dismiss this with a simple "it doesn't conform to
POSIX, so we don't care", because 'dash' is the default
/bin/sh in some of the more popular Linux distros.
- As far as I can tell, POSIX doesn't explicitly say anything
about the environment of trap actions for various signals.
In practice it seems that most shells behave sensibly and
preserve both open file descriptors and the state of '-x'
tracing for the traps on INT, TERM, and HUP, including even
'dash'. The exceptions are 'mksh' and 'lksh': they do
preserve '-x', but not the open file descriptors.
- When a test script run with '-x' tracing enabled is interrupted,
then it's very likely that the signal arrives mid-test, i.e.:
- while '-x' tracing is enabled, and, consequently, our trap
actions on INT, TERM, HUP, and EXIT will produce trace output
as well.
- while standard output and error are redirected to a log file,
to the test script's original standard output and error, or to
/dev/null, depending on whether the test script was run with
'--verbose-log', '-v', or neither. According to the above, we
can't rely on these redirections still be in effect when
running the traps on INT, TERM, HUP, and/or EXIT.
- When a test script is run with '--verbose-log', then the test
script is re-executed with its standard output and error piped
into 'tee', in order to send the "regular" non-verbose test's
output both to the terminal and to the log file. When the test is
interrupted, then the signal interrupts the downstream 'tee' as
well.
Putting these together, when a test script run with 'dash' and
'--verbose-log -x' is interrupted, then 'dash' tries to write the
trace output from the EXIT trap to the script's original standard
error, but it very likely can't, because the 'tee' downstream of the
pipe is interrupted as well. This causes the shell running the test
script to die because of SIGPIPE, without running any of the commands
in the EXIT trap.
Disable '-x' tracing in the trap on INT, TERM, and HUP to avoid this
issue, as it disables tracing in the chained trap on EXIT as well.
Wrap it in a '{ ... } 2>/dev/null' block, so the trace of the command
disabling the tracing doesn't go to standard error either [5].
Note that it's not only '-x' tracing that can be problematic, but any
shell builtin, e.g. 'echo', that writes to standard output or error in
the trap on EXIT, while a test running with 'dash' and '--verbose-log'
(even without '-x') is interrupted. As far as I can tell, this is not
an issue at the moment:
- The cleanup commands to stop the credential-helper, Apache, or
'p4d' don't use any such shell builtins.
- stop_git_daemon() does use 'say' and 'error', both wrappers around
'echo', but it redirects 'say' to fd 3, i.e. to the log file, and
while 'error' does write to standard output, it comes only after
the daemon was killed.
- The non-builtin commands that actually stop the daemons ('kill',
'apache2 -k stop', 'git credential-cache exit') are silent, so they
won't get SIGPIPE before finishing their job.
[1] The trap on EXIT must run cleanup commands, because we want to
stop any daemons when a test script run with '--immediate' fails
and exits early with error. By chaining up the trap on signals to
the trap on EXIT we can deal with cleanup commands a bit simpler,
because the tests involving daemons only have to set a single
trap.

BusyBox sh, FreeBSD /bin/sh, NetBSD /bin/sh.

trap "echo output; echo error >&2" EXIT

$ dash ./trap-output.sh
output
error
$ wc -c OUT ERR
0 OUT
0 ERR
On a related note, 'ksh', 'ksh93', and BusyBox sh don't conform to
the specs in this respect, either.
[5] This '{ set +x; } 2>/dev/null' trick won't help those shells that
show trace output for any redirections and don't preserve open
file descriptors for the trap on INT, TERM and HUP. The only such
shells I'm aware of are 'mksh' and 'lksh'.

Let's suppose that a test somehow becomes flaky between 'master' and
'pu', and tends to fail within the first 50 repetitions when run with
'--stress'. In such a case we could use 'git bisect' to find the
culprit: if the test script fails with '--stress', then the commit is
definitely bad, but if it survives, say, 300 repetitions, then we could
consider it good with reasonable confidence.
Unfortunately, all this could only be done manually, because
'--stress' would run the test script repeatedly for all eternity on a
good commit, and it would exit with success even when it found a
failure on a bad commit.
So let's make '--stress' usable with 'git bisect run':
- Make it exit with failure if a failure is found.
- Add the '--stress-limit=<N>' option to repeat the test script
at most N times in each of the parallel jobs, and exit with
success when the limit is reached.
And then we could simply run something like:
$ git bisect start origin/pu master
$ git bisect run sh -c 'make && cd t &&
./t1234-foo.sh --stress --stress-limit=300'
Sure, as a brand new feature it won't be any useful right now, but in
a release or three most cooking topics will already contain this, so
we could automatically bisect at least newly introduced flakiness.

The JUnit XML format lends itself to be presented in a powerful UI,
where you can drill down to the information you are interested in very
quickly.
For test failures, this usually means that you want to see the detailed
trace of the failing tests.
With Travis CI, we passed the `--verbose-log` option to get those
traces. However, that seems excessive, as we do not need/use the logs in
almost all of those cases: only when a test fails do we have a way to
include the trace.
So let's do something different when using Azure DevOps: let's run all
the tests with `--quiet` first, and only if a failure is encountered,
try to trace the commands as they are executed.
Of course, we cannot turn on `--verbose-log` after the fact. So let's
just re-run the test with all the same options, adding `--verbose-log`.
And then munging the output file into the JUnit XML on the fly.
Note: there is an off chance that re-running the test in verbose mode
"fixes" the failures (and this does happen from time to time!). That is
a possibility we should be able to live with. Ideally, we would label
this as "Passed upon rerun", and Azure Pipelines even know about that
outcome, but it is not available when using the JUnit XML format for
now:

Unfortunately, we have a few flaky tests, whose failures tend to be
hard to reproduce. We've found that the best we can do to reproduce
such a failure is to run the test script repeatedly while the machine
is under load, and wait in the hope that the load creates enough
variance in the timing of the test's commands that a failure is
evenually triggered. I have a command to do that, and I noticed that
two other contributors have rolled their own scripts to do the same,
all choosing slightly different approaches.
To help reproduce failures in flaky tests, introduce the '--stress'
option to run a test script repeatedly in multiple parallel jobs until
one of them fails, thereby using the test script itself to increase
the load on the machine.
The number of parallel jobs is determined by, in order of precedence:
the number specified as '--stress=<N>', or the value of the
GIT_TEST_STRESS_LOAD environment variable, or twice the number of
available processors (as reported by the 'getconf' utility), or 8.
Make '--stress' imply '--verbose -x --immediate' to get the most
information about rare failures; there is really no point in spending
all the extra effort to reproduce such a failure, and then not know
which command failed and why.
To prevent the several parallel invocations of the same test from
interfering with each other:
- Include the parallel job's number in the name of the trash
directory and the various output files under 't/test-results/' as
a '.stress-<Nr>' suffix.
- Add the parallel job's number to the port number specified by the
user or to the test number, so even tests involving daemons
listening on a TCP socket can be stressed.
- Redirect each parallel test run's verbose output to
't/test-results/$TEST_NAME.stress-<nr>.out', because dumping the
output of several parallel running tests to the terminal would
create a big ugly mess.
For convenience, print the output of the failed test job at the end,
and rename its trash directory to end with the '.stress-failed'
suffix, so it's easy to find in a predictable path (OTOH, all absolute
paths recorded in the trash directory become invalid; we'll see
whether this causes any issues in practice). If, in an unlikely case,
more than one jobs were to fail nearly at the same time, then print
the output of all failed jobs, and rename the trash directory of only
the last one (i.e. with the highest job number), as it is the trash
directory of the test whose output will be at the bottom of the user's
terminal.
Based on Jeff King's 'stress' script.

There are two places where we strip off any leading path components

'test-lib.sh' looks for the presence of certain options like '--tee'
and '--verbose-log', so it can execute the test script again to save
its standard output and error. It looks for '--valgrind' as well, to
set up some Valgrind-specific stuff. These all happen before the
actual option parsing loop, and the conditions looking for these
options look a bit odd, too. They are not completely correct, either,
because in a bogus invocation like './t1234-foo.sh -r --tee' they
recognize '--tee', although it should be handled as the required
argument of the '-r' option. This patch series will add two more
options to look out for early, and, in addition, will have to extract
these options' stuck arguments (i.e. '--opt=arg') as well.
So let's move the option parsing loop and the couple of related
conditions following it earlier in 'test-lib.sh', before the place
where the test script is executed again for '--tee' and its friends.

'test-lib.sh' looks for the presence of certain options like '--tee'
and '--verbose-log', so it can execute the test script again to save
its standard output and error, and to do so it needs the original
command line options the test was invoked with.
The next patch is about to move the option parsing loop earlier in
'test-lib.sh', but it is implemented using 'shift' in a while loop,
effecively destroying "$@" by the end of the option parsing. Not
good.
As a preparatory step, turn that option parsing loop into a 'for opt
in "$@"' loop to preserve "$@" intact while iterating over the
options, and taking extra care to handle the '-r' option's required
argument (or the lack thereof).

One of our test scripts, 't1510-repo-setup.sh' [1], still can't be
reliably run with '-x' tracing enabled, unless it's executed with a

Move this check out from the option parsing loop, so other options can

Right now if a test script receives SIGTERM or SIGHUP (e.g., because a
test was hanging and the user 'kill'-ed it or simply closed the
terminal window the test was running in), the shell exits immediately.
This can be annoying if the test script did any global setup, like
starting apache or git-daemon, as it will not have an opportunity to
clean up after itself. A subsequent run of the test won't be able to
start its own daemon, and will either fail or skip the tests.
Instead, let's trap SIGTERM and SIGHUP as well to make sure we do a
clean shutdown, and just chain it to a normal exit (which will trigger
any cleanup).
This patch follows suit of da706545f7 (t: translate SIGINT to an exit,

One of our test scripts, 't1510-repo-setup.sh' [1], still can't be
reliably run with '-x' tracing enabled, unless it's executed with a
Bash version supporting BASH_XTRACEFD (since v4.1). We have a lengthy
condition to check the version of the shell running the test script,
and disable tracing if it's not executed with a suitable Bash version
[2].
This condition uses non-portable shell array accesses to easily get
Bash's major and minor version number. This didn't seem to be
problematic, because the simple commands expanding those array
accesses are only executed when the test script is actually run with
Bash. When run with Dash, the only shell I have at hand that doesn't
support shell arrays, there are no issues, as it apparently skips
right over the non-executed simple commands without noticing the
non-supported constructs.
Alas, it has been reported that NetBSD's /bin/sh does complain about
them:
./test-lib.sh: 327: Syntax error: Bad substitution
where line 327 contains the first ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} array access.
To my understanding both shells are right and conform to POSIX,
because the standard allows both behaviors by stating the following
under '2.8.1 Consequences of Shell Errors' [3]:
"An expansion error is one that occurs when the shell expansions
define in wordexp are carried out (for example, "${x!y}", because
'!' is not a valid operator); an implementation may treat these as
syntax errors if it is able to detect them during tokenization,
rather than during expansion."
Avoid this issue with NetBSD's /bin/sh (and potentially with other,
less common shells) by hiding the shell array syntax behind 'eval'
that is only executed with Bash.

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.

Update the "test installed Git" mode of our test suite to work better.
* js/test-git-installed:
tests: explicitly use `git.exe` on Windows
tests: do not require Git to be built when testing an installed Git
t/lib-gettext: test installed git-sh-i18n if GIT_TEST_INSTALLED is set
tests: respect GIT_TEST_INSTALLED when initializing repositories
tests: fix GIT_TEST_INSTALLED's PATH to include t/helper/
Our testing framework uses a special i18n "poisoned localization"
feature to find messages that ought to stay constant but are
incorrectly marked to be translated. This feature has been made
into a runtime option (it used to be a compile-time option).
* ab/dynamic-gettext-poison:
Makefile: ease dynamic-gettext-poison transition
i18n: make GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option
On Windows, when we refer to `/an/absolute/path/to/git`, it magically
resolves `git.exe` at that location. Except if something of the name
`git` exists next to that `git.exe`. So if we call `$BUILD_DIR/git`, it
will find `$BUILD_DIR/git.exe` *only* if there is not, say, a directory
called `$BUILD_DIR/git`.
Such a directory, however, exists in Git for Windows when building with
Visual Studio (our Visual Studio project generator defaults to putting
the build files into a directory whose name is the base name of the
corresponding `.exe`).
In the bin-wrappers/* scripts, we already take pains to use `git.exe`
rather than `git`, as this could pick up the wrong thing on Windows
(i.e. if there exists a `git` file or directory in the build directory).
Now we do the same in the tests' start-up code.
This also helps when testing an installed Git, as there might be even
more likely some stray file or directory in the way.
Note: the only way we can record whether the `.exe` suffix is by writing
it to the `GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS` file and sourcing it at the beginning of
`t/test-lib.sh`. This is not a requirement introduced by this patch, but
we move the call to be able to use the `$X` variable that holds the file
extension, if any.
Note also: the many, many calls to `git this` and `git that` are
unaffected, as the regular PATH search will find the `.exe` files on
Windows (and not be confused by a directory of the name `git` that is
in one of the directories listed in the `PATH` variable), while
`/path/to/git` would not, per se, know that it is looking for an
executable and happily prefer such a directory.

We really only need the test helpers to be built in the worktree in that
case, but that is not what we test for.
On the other hand it is a perfect opportunity to verify that
`GIT_TEST_INSTALLED` points to a working Git.
So let's test the appropriate Git executable. While at it, also adjust
the error message in the `GIT_TEST_INSTALLED` case.

In preparation to the day when we can deprecate and remove the
"rebase -p", make sure we can skip and later remove tests for
it.
* js/rebase-p-tests:
tests: optionally skip `git rebase -p` tests
t3418: decouple test cases from a previous `rebase -p` test case
t3404: decouple some test cases from outcomes of previous test cases
Change the GETTEXT_POISON compile-time + runtime GIT_GETTEXT_POISON
test parameter to only be a GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=<non-empty?>
runtime parameter, to be consistent with other parameters documented
in "Running tests with special setups" in t/README.
When I added GETTEXT_POISON in bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON
to simulate unfriendly translator", 2011-02-22) I was concerned with
ensuring that the _() function would get constant folded if NO_GETTEXT
was defined, and likewise that GETTEXT_POISON would be compiled out
unless it was defined.
But as the benchmark in my [1] shows doing a one-off runtime
getenv("GIT_TEST_[...]") is trivial, and since GETTEXT_POISON was
originally added the GIT_TEST_* env variables have become the common
idiom for turning on special test setups.
So change GETTEXT_POISON to work the same way. Now the
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time option is gone, and running the
tests with GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=[YesPlease|] can be toggled on/off
without recompiling.
This allows for conditionally amending tests to test with/without
poison, similar to what 859fdc0c3c ("commit-graph: define
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH", 2018-08-29) did for GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH. Do
some of that, now we e.g. always run the t0205-gettext-poison.sh test.
I did enough there to remove the GETTEXT_POISON prerequisite, but its
inverse C_LOCALE_OUTPUT is still around, and surely some tests using
it can be converted to e.g. always set GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=.
Notes on the implementation:
* We still compile a dedicated GETTEXT_POISON build in Travis
CI. Perhaps this should be revisited and integrated into the
"linux-gcc" build, see ae59a4e44f ("travis: run tests with
GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX", 2018-01-07) for prior art in that area. Then
again maybe not, see [2].
* We now skip a test in t0000-basic.sh under
GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease that wasn't skipped before. This
test relies on C locale output, but due to an edge case in how the
previous implementation of GETTEXT_POISON worked (reading it from
GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS) wasn't enabling poison correctly. Now it does,
and needs to be skipped.
* The getenv() function is not reentrant, so out of paranoia about
code of the form:
printf(_("%s"), getenv("some-env"));
call use_gettext_poison() in our early setup in git_setup_gettext()
so we populate the "poison_requested" variable in a codepath that's
won't suffer from that race condition.
* We error out in the Makefile if you're still saying
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease to prompt users to change their
invocation.
* We should not print out poisoned messages during the test
initialization itself to keep it more readable, so the test library
hides the variable if set in $GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON_ORIG during
setup. See [3].
See also [4] for more on the motivation behind this patch, and the
history of the GETTEXT_POISON facility.

The `--preserve-merges` mode of the `rebase` command is slated to be

Some environment variables that control the runtime options of Git
used during tests are getting renamed for consistency.

The test framework test-lib.sh itself would want to give warnings
and hints, e.g. when it sees a deprecated environment variable is in
use that we want to encourage users to migrate to another variable.
The self-test of test framework done in t0000 however do not expect
to see these warnings and hints, so depending on the settings of
environment variables, a running test may or may not produce these
messages to the standard error output, breaking the expectations of
self-test test framework does on itself. Here is what we see:
$ TEST_GIT_INDEX_VERSION=4 sh t0000-basic.sh -i -v
...
'err' is not empty, it contains:
warning: TEST_GIT_INDEX_VERSION is now GIT_TEST_INDEX_VERSION
hint: set GIT_TEST_INDEX_VERSION too during the transition period
not ok 5 - pretend we have a fully passing test suite
The following quick attempt to work it around does not work, because
some tests in t0000 do want to see expected errors from the test
framework itself.

There are a few possible ways to work this around:
* We could strip the warning: and hint: unconditionally from the
error output before the error messages are checked in the
self-test (helper functions check_sub_test_lib_test_err and
check_sub_test_lib_test); the problem with this approach is that
it will make it impossible to write self-tests to ensure that
right warnings and hints are given.
* We could force a sane environment settings before the test helper
_run_sub_test_lib_test_common dot-sources test-lib.sh; the
problem with this approach is that _run_sub_test_lib_test_common
now needs to be aware of what pairs of environment variables are
checked in test-lib.sh using check_var_migration helper.
The final patch I came up with is probably the solution that is
least bad. Set a variable to tell test-lib.sh that we are running
a self-test, so that various pieces in test-lib.sh can react to keep
the output stable.

The unpack_trees() API used in checking out a branch and merging
walks one or more trees along with the index. When the cache-tree
in the index tells us that we are walking a tree whose flattened
