The 'debug' test helper is supposed to facilitate debugging by running
a command of the test suite under gdb. Unfortunately, its usefulness
is severely limited, because that gdb session is not interactive,
since the test's, and thus gdb's standard input is redirected from
/dev/null (for a good reason, see 781f76b15 (test-lib: redirect stdin
of tests, 2011-12-15)).
Redirect gdb's standard file descriptors from/to the test
environment's stdin, stdout and stderr in the 'debug' helper, thus
creating an interactive gdb session (even in non-verbose mode), which
is much, much more useful.

Eric Wong reported that while FreeBSD has a /usr/bin/unzip, it uses
different semantics from those that are needed by Git's tests: When
passing the -a option to Info-Zip, it heeds the text attribute of the
.zip file's central directory, while FreeBSD's unzip ignores that
attribute.
The common work-around is to install Info-Zip on FreeBSD, into
/usr/local/bin/.

Update to the test framework made in 2.9 timeframe broke running
the tests under valgrind, which has been fixed.
* nd/test-helpers:
valgrind: support test helpers
Tests run with --valgrind call git commands through a wrapper script
that invokes valgrind on them. This script (valgrind.sh) is in turn
invoked through symlinks created for each command in t/valgrind/bin/.
Since e6e7530d (test helpers: move test-* to t/helper/ subdirectory)
these symlinks have been broken for test helpers -- they point to the
old locations in the root of the build directory. Fix that by teaching
the code for creating the links about the new location of the binaries,
and do the same in the wrapper script to allow it to find its payload.

The Travis CI configuration we ship ran the tests with --verbose
option but this risks non-TAP output that happens to be "ok" to be
misinterpreted as TAP signalling a test that passed. This resulted
in unnecessary failure. This has been corrected by introducing a
new mode to run our tests in the test harness to send the verbose
output separately to the log file.
* jk/tap-verbose-fix:
test-lib: bail out when "-v" used under "prove"
travis: use --verbose-log test option
test-lib: add --verbose-log option
test-lib: handle TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY with spaces
When there is a TAP harness consuming the output of our test
scripts, the "--verbose" breaks the output by mingling
test command output with TAP. Because the TAP::Harness
module used by "prove" is fairly lenient, this _usually_
works, but it violates the spec, and things get very
confusing if the commands happen to output a line that looks
like TAP (e.g., the word "ok" on its own line).
Let's detect this situation and complain. Just calling
error() isn't great, though; prove will tell us that the
script failed, but the message doesn't make it through to
the user. Instead, we can use the special TAP signal "Bail
out!". This not only shows the message to the user, but
instructs the harness to stop running the tests entirely.
This is exactly what we want here, as the problem is in the
command-line options, and every test script would produce
the same error.
The result looks like this (the first "Bailout called" line
is in red if prove uses color on your terminal):
$ make GIT_TEST_OPTS='--verbose --tee'
rm -f -r 'test-results'
*** prove ***
Bailout called. Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log

The "--verbose" option redirects output from arbitrary
test commands to stdout. This is useful for examining the
output manually, like:
./t5547-push-quarantine.sh -v | less
But it also means that the output is intermingled with the
TAP directives, which can confuse a TAP parser like "prove".
This has always been a potential problem, but became an
issue recently when one test happened to output the word
"ok" on a line by itself, which prove interprets as a test
success:
$ prove t5547-push-quarantine.sh :: -v
t5547-push-quarantine.sh .. 1/? To dest.git

Result: FAIL
One answer is "if it hurts, don't do it", but that's not
quite the whole story. The Travis tests use "--verbose
--tee" so that they can get the benefit of prove's parallel
options, along with a verbose log in case there is a
failure. We just need the verbose output to go to the log,
but keep stdout clean.
Getting this right turns out to be surprisingly difficult.
Here's the progression of alternatives I considered:
1. Add an option to write verbose output to stderr. This is
hard to capture, though, because we want each test to
have its own log (because they're all run in parallel
and the jumbled output would be useless).
2. Add an option to write verbose output to a file in
test-results. This works, but the log is missing all of
the non-verbose output, which gives context.
3. Like (2), but teach say_color() to additionally output
to the log. This mostly works, but misses any output
that happens outside of the say() functions (which isn't
a lot, but is a potential maintenance headache).
4. Like (2), but make the log file the same as the "--tee"
file. That almost works, but now we have two processes
opening the same file. That gives us two separate
descriptors, each with their own idea of the current
position. They'll each start writing at offset 0, and
overwrite each other's data.
5. Like (4), but in each case open the file for appending.
That atomically positions each write at the end of the
file.
It's possible we may still get sheared writes between
the two processes, but this is already the case when
writing to stdout. It's not a problem in practice
because the test harness generally waits for snippets to
finish before writing the TAP output.
We can ignore buffering issues with tee, because POSIX
mandates that it does not buffer. Likewise, POSIX
specifies "tee -a", so it should be available
everywhere.
This patch implements option (5), which seems to work well
in practice.

Each test run generates a "count" file in t/test-results
that stores the number of successful, failed, etc tests.
If you run "t1234-foo.sh", that file is named as
"t/test-results/t1234-foo-$$.count"
The addition of the PID there is serving no purpose, and
makes analysis of the count files harder.
The presence of the PID dates back to 2d84e9f (Modify
test-lib.sh to output stats to t/test-results/*,
2008-06-08), but no reasoning is given there. Looking at the
current code, we can see that other files we write to
test-results (like *.exit and *.out) do _not_ have the PID
included. So the presence of the PID does not meaningfully
allow one to store the results from multiple runs anyway.
Moreover, anybody wishing to read the *.count files to
aggregate results has to deal with the presence of multiple
files for a given test (and figure out which one is the most
recent based on their timestamps!). The only consumer of
these files is the aggregate.sh script, which arguably gets
this wrong. If a test is run multiple times, its counts will
appear multiple times in the total (I say arguably only
because the desired semantics aren't documented anywhere,
but I have trouble seeing how this behavior could be
useful).
So let's just drop the PID, which fixes aggregate.sh, and
will make new features based around the count files easier
to write.
Note that since the count-file may already exist (when
re-running a test), we also switch the "cat" from appending
to truncating. The use of append here was pointless in the
first place, as we expected to always write to a unique file.

Running tests with '-x' option to trace the individual command

Running tests with '-x' option to trace the individual command

* jk/test-send-sh-x-trace-elsewhere:
test-lib: set BASH_XTRACEFD automatically
Passing "-x" to a test script enables the shell's "set -x"
tracing, which can help with tracking down the command that
is causing a failure. Unfortunately, it can also _cause_
failures in some tests that redirect the stderr of a shell
function. Inside the function the shell continues to
respect "set -x", and the trace output is collected along
with whatever stderr is generated normally by the function.
You can see an example of this by running:
./t0040-parse-options.sh -x -i
which will fail immediately in the first test, as it
expects:
test_must_fail some-cmd 2>output.err
to leave output.err empty (but with "-x" it has our trace
output).
Unfortunately there isn't a portable or scalable solution to
this. We could teach test_must_fail to disable "set -x", but
that doesn't help any of the other functions or subshells.
However, we can work around it by pointing the "set -x"
output to our descriptor 4, which always points to the
original stderr of the test script. Unfortunately this only
works for bash, but it's better than nothing (and other
shells will just ignore the BASH_XTRACEFD variable).
The patch itself is a simple one-liner, but note the caveats
in the accompanying comments.
Automatic tests for our "-x" option may be a bit too meta
(and a pain, because they are bash-specific), but I did
confirm that it works correctly both with regular "-x" and
with "--verbose-only=1". This works because the latter flips
"set -x" off and on for particular tests (if it didn't, we
would get tracing for all tests, as going to descriptor 4
effectively circumvents the verbose flag).

On Windows, there is no SIGPIPE. A consequence of this is that the
upstream process of a pipe does not notice the death of the downstream
process until the pipe buffer is full and writing more data returns an
error. This behavior is the reason for an annoying delay during the
execution of t7610-mergetool.sh: There are a number of test cases where
'yes' is invoked upstream. Since the utility is basically an endless
loop it runs, on Windows, until the pipe buffer is full. This does take
a few seconds.
The test suite has its own implementation of 'yes'. Modify it to produce
only a limited amount of output that is sufficient for the test suite.
The amount chosen should be sufficiently high for any test case, assuming
that future test cases will not exaggerate their demands of input from
an upstream 'yes' invocation.

MSYS2 (the POSIX emulation layer used by Git for Windows' Bash) actually
has a working mkfifo. The only problem is that it is only emulating
named pipes through the MSYS2 runtime; The Win32 API has no idea about
named pipes, hence the Git executable cannot access those pipes either.
The symptom is that Git fails with a '<name>: No such file or directory'
because MSYS2 emulates named pipes through special-crafted '.lnk' files.
The solution is to tell the test suite explicitly that we cannot use
named pipes when we want to test on Windows.

Running tests with the "-x" option to make them verbose had some
unpleasant interactions with other features of the test suite.
* jk/test-with-x:
test-lib: disable trace when test is not verbose
test-lib: turn off "-x" tracing during chain-lint check
The "-x" test-script option turns on the shell's "-x"
tracing, which can help show why a particular test is
failing. Unfortunately, this can create false negatives in
some tests if they invoke a shell function with its stderr
redirected. t5512.10 is such a test, as it does:
test_must_fail git ls-remote refs*master >actual 2>&1 &&
test_cmp exp actual
The "actual" file gets the "-x" trace for the test_must_fail
function, which prevents it from matching the expected
output.
There's no way to avoid this without managing the
trace flag inside each sub-function, which isn't really a
workable solution. But unless you specifically care about
t5512.10, we can work around it by enabling tracing only for
the specific tests we want.
You can already do:
./t5512-ls-remote.sh -x --verbose-only=16
to see the trace only for a specific test. But that doesn't
_disable_ the tracing in the other tests; it just sends it
to /dev/null. However, there's no point in generating a
trace that the user won't see, so we can simply disable
tracing whenever it doesn't have a matching verbose flag.
The normal case of just "./t5512-ls-remote.sh -x" stays the
same, as "-x" already implies "--verbose" (and
"--verbose-only" overrides "--verbose", which is why this
works at all). And for our test, we need only check
$verbose, as maybe_setup_verbose will have already
set that flag based on the $verbose_only list).

If tput needs ~/.terminfo for the current $TERM, then tput will
succeed before HOME is changed to $TRASH_DIRECTORY (causing color to
be set to 't') but fail afterward.
One possible way to fix this is to treat HOME like TERM: back up the
original value and temporarily restore it before say_color() runs
tput.
Instead, pre-compute and save the color control sequences before
changing either TERM or HOME. Use the saved control sequences in
say_color() rather than call tput each time. This avoids the need to
back up and restore the TERM and HOME variables, and it avoids the
overhead of a subshell and two invocations of tput per call to
say_color().

It's easy to miss an "&&"-chain in a test script, like:
test_expect_success 'check something important' '
cmd1 &&
cmd2
cmd3
'
The test harness will notice if cmd3 fails, but a failure of
cmd1 or cmd2 will go unnoticed, as their exit status is lost
after cmd3 runs.
The toy example above is easy to spot because the "cmds" are
all the same length, but real code is much more complicated.
It's also difficult to detect these situations by statically
analyzing the shell code with regexps (like the
check-non-portable-shell script does); there's too much
context required to know whether a &&-chain is appropriate
on a given line or not.
This patch instead lets the shell check each test by
sticking a command with a specific and unusual return code
at the top of each test, like:
(exit 117) &&
cmd1 &&
cmd2
cmd3
In a well-formed test, the non-zero exit from the first
command prevents any of the rest from being run, and the
test's exit code is 117. In a bad test (like the one above),
the 117 is lost, and cmd3 is run.
When we encounter a failure of this check, we abort the test
script entirely. For one thing, we have no clue which subset
of the commands in the test snippet were actually run.
Running further tests would be pointless, because we're now
in an unknown state. And two, this is not a "test failure"
in the traditional sense. The test script is buggy, not the
code it is testing. We should be able to fix these problems
in the script once, and not have them come back later as a
regression in git's code.
After checking a test snippet for --chain-lint, we do still
run the test itself. We could actually have a pure-lint
mode which just checks each test, but there are a few
reasons not to. One, because the tests are executing
arbitrary code, which could impact the later environment
(e.g., that could impact which set of tests we run at all).
And two, because a pure-lint mode would still be expensive
to run, because a significant amount of code runs outside of
the test_expect_* blocks. Instead, this option is designed
to be used as part of a normal test suite run, where it adds
very little overhead.
Turning on this option detects quite a few problems in
existing tests, which will be fixed in subsequent patches.
However, there are a number of places it cannot reach:
- it cannot find a failure to break out of loops on error,
like:
cmd1 &&
for i in a b c; do
cmd2 $i
done &&
cmd3
which will not notice failures of "cmd2 a" or "cmd b"
- it cannot find a missing &&-chain inside a block or
subfunction, like:
foo () {
cmd1
cmd2
}
foo &&
bar
which will not notice a failure of cmd1.
- it only checks tests that you run; every platform will
have some tests skipped due to missing prequisites,
so it's impossible to say from one run that the test
suite is free of broken &&-chains. However, all tests get
run by _somebody_, so eventually we will notice problems.
- it does not operate on test_when_finished or prerequisite
blocks. It could, but these tends to be much shorter and
less of a problem, so I punted on them in this patch.

We use this to test http pushing with a restricted
commandline. Other scripts (like t5551, which does http
fetching) will want to use it, too.

If you run a test script like:
GIT_TRACE=1 ./t0061-run-command.sh
you may get test failures, because some tests capture and
check the stderr output from git commands (and with
GIT_TRACE set to 1, the trace output will be included
there).
When we see GIT_TRACE set like this, we print a warning to
the user. However, we can do even better than that by just
pointing it to descriptor 4, which all tests leave connected
to the test script's stderr. That's likely what the user
intended (and any scripts that do want to see GIT_TRACE
output will set GIT_TRACE themselves).
Not only does this avoid false negatives in the tests, but
it means the user will actually see trace output for git
calls that redirect their stderr (whereas before, it was
sometimes confusingly buried in a file).

Right now if a test script receives SIGINT (e.g., because a
test was hanging and the user hit ^C), 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 SIGINT to make sure we do a clean
shutdown, and just chain it to a normal exit (which will
trigger any cleanup).
