Remove the "test_external" function added in [1]. This arguably makes the output of t9700-perl-git.sh and friends worse. But as we'll argue below the trade-off is worth it, since "chaining" to another TAP emitter in test-lib.sh is more trouble than it's worth. The new output of t9700-perl-git.sh is now: $ ./t9700-perl-git.sh ok 1 - set up test repository ok 2 - use t9700/test.pl to test Git.pm # passed all 2 test(s) 1..2 Whereas before this change it would be: $ ./t9700-perl-git.sh ok 1 - set up test repository # run 1: Perl API (perl /home/avar/g/git/t/t9700/test.pl) ok 2 - use Git; [... omitting tests 3..46 from t/t9700/test.pl ...] ok 47 - unquote escape sequences 1..47 # test_external test Perl API was ok # test_external_without_stderr test no stderr: Perl API was ok At the time of its addition supporting "test_external" was easy, but when test-lib.sh itself started to emit TAP in [2] we needed to make everything surrounding the emission of the plan consider "test_external". I added that support in [2] so that we could run: prove ./t9700-perl-git.sh :: -v But since then in [3] the door has been closed on combining $HARNESS_ACTIVE and -v, we'll now just die: $ prove ./t9700-perl-git.sh :: -v Bailout called. Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log FAILED--Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log So the only use of this has been that *if* we had failure in one of these tests we could e.g. in CI see which test failed based on the test number. Now we'll need to look at the full verbose logs to get that same information. I think this trade-off is acceptable given the reduction in complexity, and it brings these tests in line with other similar tests, e.g. the reftable tests added in [4] will be condensed down to just one test, which invokes the C helper: $ ./t0032-reftable-unittest.sh ok 1 - unittests # passed all 1 test(s) 1..1 It would still be nice to have that ":: -v" form work again, it never *really* worked, but even though we've had edge cases test output screwing up the TAP it mostly worked betweend998bd4ab6
and [3], so we may have been overzealous in forbidding it outright. I have local patches which I'm planning to submit sooner than later that get us to that goal, and in a way that isn't buggy. In the meantime getting rid of this special case makes hacking on this area of test-lib.sh easier, as we'll do in subsequent commits. The switch from "perl" to "$PERL_PATH" here is because "perl" is defined as a shell function in the test suite, seea5bf824f3b
