Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned longs. On 32-bit
platforms, as well as on Windows, unsigned long is not large enough
to capture dates that are "absurdly far in the future".
While we can fix this issue properly by replacing unsigned long with
a larger type, we want to be a bit more conservative and just skip
those tests on the maint track.

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.

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).

Now that GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT is on by default, running:

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

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.

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).

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

What we wanted out of the SANITY precondition is that the filesystem
behaves sensibly with permission bits settings.
- You should not be able to remove a file in a read-only directory,
- You should not be able to tell if a file in a directory exists if
the directory lacks read or execute permission bits.
We used to cheat by approximating that condition with "is the /

The SANITY prerequisite is really about whether the
filesystem will respect the permissions we set, and being
root is only one part of that. But the httpd tests really
just care about not being root, as they are trying to avoid
weirdness in apache (see a1a3011 for details).
Let's switch out SANITY for a new NOT_ROOT prerequisite,
which will let us tweak SANITY more freely.
We implement NOT_ROOT by checking `id -u`, which is in POSIX
and seems to be available even on MSYS. Note that we cannot
just call this "ROOT" and ask for "!ROOT". The possible
outcomes are:
1. we know we are root
2. we know we are not root
3. we could not tell, because `id` was not available
We should conservatively treat (3) as "does not have the
prerequisite", which means that a naive negation would not
work.

If ncurses needs ~/.terminfo for the current $TERM, then tput will
succeed before changing HOME to $TRASH_DIRECTORY but fail afterward.
Move the tests that determine whether there is color support after
changing HOME so that color=t is set if and only if tput would succeed
when say_color() is run.
Note that color=t is now set after --no-color is processed, so the
condition to set color=t has changed: it is now set only if
color has not already been set to the empty string by --no-color.
This disables color support for those that need ~/.terminfo for
their TERM, but it's better than filling the screen with:
tput: unknown terminal "custom-terminal-name-here"
An alternative would be to symlink or copy the user's terminfo
database into $TRASH_DIRECTORY, but this is tricky due to the lack of
a standard name for the terminfo database (for example, instead of a
~/.terminfo directory, NetBSD uses a ~/.terminfo.cdb database file).

The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we
would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the
repository directory. But this means we need to respect the
filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior
commit added a helper to make such a comparison for HFS+;
let's use it in verify_path.
We make this check optional for two reasons:
1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is
unnecessary for people who are not on HFS+. In practice
this probably doesn't matter, though, as the restricted
names are rather obscure and almost certainly would
never come up in practice.
2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we
insert into the index.
This patch ties the check to the core.protectHFS config
option. Though this is expected to be most useful on OS X,
we allow it to be set everywhere, as HFS+ may be mounted on
other platforms. The variable does default to on for OS X,
though.

When git is compiled with "-fsanitize=address" (using clang
or gcc >= 4.8), all invocations of git will check for buffer
overflows. This is similar to running with valgrind, except
that it is more thorough (because of the compiler support,
function-local buffers can be checked, too) and runs much
faster (making it much less painful to run the whole test
suite with the checks turned on).
Unlike valgrind, the magic happens at compile-time, so we
don't need the same infrastructure in the test suite that we
did to support --valgrind. But there are two things we can
help with:
1. On some platforms, the leak-detector is on by default,
and causes every invocation of "git init" (and thus
every test script) to fail. Since running git with
the leak detector is pointless, let's shut it off
automatically in the tests, unless the user has already
configured it.
2. When apache runs a CGI, it clears the environment of
unknown variables. This means that the $ASAN_OPTIONS
config doesn't make it to git-http-backend, and it
dies due to the leak detector. Let's mark the variable
as OK for apache to pass.
With these two changes, running
make CC=clang CFLAGS=-fsanitize=address test
works out of the box.

Usually running a test under "-v" makes it clear which
command is failing. However, sometimes it can be useful to
also see a complete trace of the shell commands being run in
the test. You can do so without any support from the test
suite by running "sh -x tXXXX-foo.sh". However, this
produces quite a large bit of output, as we see a trace of
the entire test suite.
This patch instead introduces a "-x" option to the test
scripts (i.e., "./tXXXX-foo.sh -x"). When enabled, this
turns on "set -x" only for the tests themselves. This can
still be a bit verbose, but should keep things to a more
manageable level. You can even use "--verbose-only" to see
the trace only for a specific test.
The implementation is a little invasive. We turn on the "set
-x" inside the "eval" of the test code. This lets the eval
itself avoid being reported in the trace (which would be
long, and redundant with the verbose listing we already
showed). And then after the eval runs, we do some trickery
with stderr to avoid showing the "set +x" to the user.
We also show traces for test_cleanup functions (since they
can impact the test outcome, too). However, we do avoid
running the noop ":" cleanup (the default if the test does
not use test_cleanup at all), as it creates unnecessary
noise in the "set -x" output.

The "--signed" option received by "git push" is first passed to the
transport layer, which the native transport directly uses to notice
that a push certificate needs to be sent. When the transport-helper
is involved, however, the option needs to be told to the helper with
set_helper_option(), and the helper needs to take necessary action.
For the smart-HTTP helper, the "necessary action" involves spawning
the "git send-pack" subprocess with the "--signed" option.
Once the above all gets wired in, the smart-HTTP transport now can
use the push certificate mechanism to authenticate its pushes.
Add a test that is modeled after tests for the native transport in
t5534-push-signed.sh to t5541-http-push-smart.sh. Update the test
Apache configuration to pass GNUPGHOME environment variable through.
As PassEnv would trigger warnings for an environment variable that
is not set, export it from test-lib.sh set to a harmless value when
GnuPG is not being used in the tests.
Note that the added test is deliberately loose and does not check
the nonce in this step. This is because the stateless RPC mode is
inevitably flaky and a nonce that comes back in the actual push
processing is one issued by a different process; if the two
interactions with the server crossed a second boundary, the nonces
will not match and such a check will fail. A later patch in the
series will work around this shortcoming.

In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an

The harm:
- When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
the #! line are not used. Specifying a particular shell can
confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.
- Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.
- Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
executable. This check does not work if shell libraries also start
with a #! line.
The good:
- Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
place.
The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix). Replace the opening #! lines with comments.
This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).
Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian. Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.
Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:
find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
while read file
do
read line <"$file"
case $line in
'#!'*)
echo "$file"
;;
esac
done
The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests
(t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).

A #! line in these files is misleading, since these scriptlets are
meant to be sourced with '.' (using whatever shell sources them)
instead of run directly using the interpreter named on the #! line.
Removing the #! line shouldn't hurt syntax highlighting since
these files have filenames ending with '.sh'. For documentation,
add a brief description of how the files are meant to be used in
place of the shebang line.

This way, test authors don't need to remember to source
lib-prereq-FILEMODE.sh before using the FILEMODE prereq to guard tests
that rely on the executable bit being honored when checking out files.

If $TEST_DIRECTORY is specified in the environment, convert the value

used.

In a number of tests, output that was produced by a shell script is
compared to expected output using test_cmp. Unfortunately, the MSYS bash--
when invoked via git, such as in hooks--converts LF to CRLF on output
(as produced by echo and printf), which leads to many false positives.
Implements a diff tool that undoes the converted CRLF. To avoid that
sub-processes are spawned (which is very slow on Windows), the tool is
implemented as a shell function. Diff is invoked as usual only when a
difference is detected by the shell code.

Now that ad0e623 (test-lib: support running tests under valgrind in
parallel, 2013-06-23) has been reverted, this support code has no
users any more. Revert it, too.
This reverts commit e939e15d24.

This reverts commit ad0e623332.
--valgrind-parallel was broken from the start: during review I made
the whole valgrind setup code conditional on not being a
--valgrind-parallel worker child. But even the children crucially
need $GIT_VALGRIND to be set; it should therefore have been set
outside the conditional.
The fix would be a two-liner, but since the introduction of the
feature, almost four months have passed without anyone noticing that
it is broken. So this feature is not worth the about hundred lines of
test-lib.sh complexity. Revert it.

When it was originally added, the git_remote_helpers library was used as
part of the tests of the remote-helper interface, but since commit
fc407f9 (Add new simplified git-remote-testgit, 2012-11-28) a simple
shell script is used for this.
A search on Ohloh [1] indicates that this library isn't used by any
external projects and even the Python remote helpers in contrib/ don't
use this library, so it is only used by its own test suite.
Since this is the only Python library in Git, removing it will make
packaging easier as the Python scripts only need to be installed for one
version of Python, whereas the library should be installed for all
available versions.

Define a common macro for grep needing -U to allow tests to not need
to inquire of specific platforms needing this option. Change
t3032 and t5560 to use this rather than testing explicitly for mingw.
This fixes these two tests on Cygwin.

For now, bin-wrappers overwrites GITPERLLIB. If we want to chain to
those scripts and define GITPERLLIB before, our changes will be
discarded.
This patch makes the bin-wrappers prepend their modifications to
GITPERLLIB rather than redefining it. It also unset GITPERLLIB in the
test-suite to prevent broken $GITPERLLIB in the user's configuration
from interfering with the testsuite.
The codes using GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR and GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR handle only one
path in each of this variable so this new behavior would be useless on
those variables.
