Our lib-credential.sh library comes with a "clean" function that removes
all of the credentials used in its tests (to avoid leaving cruft in
system credential storage). But it's easy to add a test that uses a new
credential but forget to add it to the clean function. E.g., the case
fixed by 83e6eb7d7a (t/lib-credential: clean additional credential,
2024-02-15).
We should be able to catch this automatically, but it's a little tricky.
We can't just compare the contents of the helper's storage before and
after the test run, because there isn't a way to ask a helper to dump
all of its storage. And in most cases we don't have direct access to the
underlying storage (since the whole point of the helper is to abstract
that away). We can work around that by using our own "store" helper,
since we can directly inspect its state by looking at its on-disk file.
But there's a catch: the "store" helper doesn't support features like
caching or expiration, so using it naively fails tests (and skipping
those tests would give us incomplete coverage). Implementing all of
those features would be non-trivial. But we can hack around that by
overriding the "check" function used by the tests to turn most requests
into noop success (except for "approve" requests, which actually store
things).
And then at the end we can check that running the "clean" function takes
us back to an empty state.
Note that because we've skipped any tests that erase credentials
(because of our noop check function), the state we see at cleanup time
may be larger than it would be normally. That's OK. The point of the
clean function is to clean up any cruft we _might_ have left in place,
so we're just being doubly thorough.
The way this is bolted onto t0303 feels a little messy. But it's really
the best place to do it, because then we know that it is running the
exact sequence of tests that we'd use for testing a real external
helper. In a normal run of "make test" it currently does nothing (the
idea is that you run it manually after pointing it at some helper
program). But now with this patch, "make test" will sanity-check the
script itself.

d208bfd (credential: new attribute password_expiry_utc, 2023-02-18)
and a5c76569e7 (credential: new attribute oauth_refresh_token)
introduced new credential attributes.
libsecret assumes attribute values are non-confidential and
unchanging, so we encode the new attributes in the secret, separated by
newline:
hunter2
password_expiry_utc=1684189401
oauth_refresh_token=xyzzy
This is extensible and backwards compatible. The credential protocol
already assumes that attribute values do not contain newlines.
Alternatives considered: store password_expiry_utc in a libsecret
attribute. This has the problem that libsecret creates new items
rather than overwrites when attribute values change.

The commit message which added those tests (861444f 't: add test
harness for external credential helpers' 2011-12-10) provided nice
documentation in the commit message. Let's make it more visible
by putting it in the test description.
The documentation is updated to reflect the fact that
GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER must be set for
GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_TIMEOUT to be used
and GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_SETUP can be used.

t0300-credential-helpers.sh requires GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER to be
configured to do something sensible. If it is not set, prove will say:
./t0303-credential-external.sh .. skipped: (no reason given)
which isn't very nice.
Use skip_all="..." && test_done to bail out immediately and provide a
nicer message. In case GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER is set, but the
timeout tests are skipped, mention GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_TIMEOUT.

We already have tests for the internal helpers, but it's
nice to give authors of external tools an easy way to
sanity-check their helpers.
If you have written the "git-credential-foo" helper, you can
do so with:
GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER=foo \
make t0303-credential-external.sh
This assumes that your helper is capable of both storing and
retrieving credentials (some helpers may be read-only, and
they will fail these tests).
If your helper supports time-based expiration with a
configurable timeout, you can test that feature like this:
GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_TIMEOUT="foo --timeout=1" \
make t0303-credential-external.sh
