There are a number of ways to work around that: - Replace all isatty calls with calls to a custom xisatty wrapper that usually checks for a terminal but can be overridden for tests.

This patch implements the third approach. The new test-terminal.perl helper uses IO::Pty from Expect.pm to create a terminal and executes the program specified by its arguments with that terminal as stdout.

tests: Fix race condition in t7006-pager

Pagers that do not consume their input are dangerous: for example,

 $ GIT_PAGER=: git log
 $ echo $?
 141
 $

The only reason these tests were able to work before was that
'git log' would write to the pipe (and not fill it) before the
pager had time to terminate and close the pipe.

Fix it by using a program that consumes its input, namely wc (as
suggested by Johannes).

t7006-pager: if stdout is not a terminal, make a new one

Testing pagination requires (fake or real) access to a terminal so we
can see whether the pagination automatically kicks in, which makes it
hard to get good coverage when running tests without --verbose.  There
are a number of ways to work around that:

 - Replace all isatty calls with calls to a custom xisatty wrapper
   that usually checks for a terminal but can be overridden for tests.
   This would be workable, but it would require implementing xisatty
   separately in three languages (C, shell, and perl) and making sure
   that any code that is to be tested always uses the wrapper.

 - Redirect stdout to /dev/tty.  This would be problematic because
   there might be no terminal available, and even if a terminal is
   available, it might not be appropriate to spew output to it.

 - Create a new pseudo-terminal on the fly and capture its output.

This patch implements the third approach.

The new test-terminal.perl helper uses IO::Pty from Expect.pm to create
a terminal and executes the program specified by its arguments with
that terminal as stdout.  If the IO::Pty module is missing or not
working on a system, the test script will maintain its old behavior
(skipping most of its tests unless GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).

tests: Add tests for automatic use of pager

Git’s automatic pagination support has some subtleties.  Add some
tests to make sure we don’t break:

 - when git will use a pager by default;
 - the effect of the --paginate and --no-pager options;
 - the effect of pagination on use of color;
 - how the choice of pager is configured.

This does not yet test:

 - use of pager by scripted commands (git svn and git am);
 - effect of the pager.* configuration variables;
 - setting of the LESS variable.

Some features involve checking whether stdout is a terminal, so many
of these tests are skipped unless output is passed through to the
terminal (i.e., unless $GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).

The immediate purpose for these tests was to avoid making things worse
after the breakage from my jn/editor-pager series (see commit 376f39,
2009-11-20).  Thanks to Sebastian Celis <sebastian@sebastiancelis.com>
for the report.
