Jonathan Nieder	1c1f6e03e1	t: decrease nesting in test_oid_to_path t1410.3 ("corrupt and checks") fails when run using dash versions before 0.5.8, with a cryptic message: mv: cannot stat '.git/objects//e84adb2704cbd49549e52169b4043871e13432': No such file or directory The function generating that path: test_oid_to_path () { echo "${1%${1#??}}/${1#??}" } which is supposed to produce a result like 12/3456789.... But a dash bug[] causes it to instead expand to /3456789... The stream of symbols that makes up this function is hard for humans to follow, too. The complexity mostly comes from the repeated use of the expression ${1#??} for the basename of the loose object. Use a variable instead --- nowadays, the dialect of shell used by Git permits local variables, so this is cheap. An alternative way to work around [] is to remove the double-quotes around test_oid_to_path's return value. That makes the expression easier for dash to read, but harder for humans. Let's prefer the rephrasing that's helpful for humans, too. Noticed by building on Ubuntu trusty, which uses dash 0.5.7.

SZEDER Gábor	ffe1afe67c	tests: show the test name and number at the start of verbose output The verbose output of every test looks something like this: expecting success: echo content >file && git add file && git commit -m "add file" [master (root-commit) d1fbfbd] add file Author: A U Thor <author@example.com> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 file ok 1 - commit works i.e. first an "expecting success" (or "checking known breakage") line followed by the commands to be executed, then the output of those comamnds, and finally an "ok"/"not ok" line containing the test name. Note that the test's name is only shown at the very end. With '-x' tracing enabled and/or in longer tests the verbose output might be several screenfulls long, making it harder than necessary to find where the output of the test with a given name starts (especially when the outputs to different file descriptors are racing, and the "expecting success"/command block arrives earlier than the "ok" line of the previous test). Print the test name at the start of the test's verbose output, i.e. at the end of the "expecting success" and "checking known breakage" lines, to make the start of a particular test a bit easier to recognize. Also print the test script and test case numbers, to help those poor souls who regularly have to scan through the combined verbose output of several test scripts. So the dummy test above would start like this: expecting success of 9999.1 'commit works': echo content >file && [...] Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	6 years ago
Jeff King	b1c36cb849	test-lib: introduce test_commit_bulk Some tests need to create a string of commits. Doing this with test_commit is very heavy-weight, as it needs at least one process per commit (and in fact, uses several). For bulk creation, we can do much better by using fast-import, but it's often a pain to generate the input. Let's provide a helper to do so. We'll use t5310 as a guinea pig, as it has three 10-commit loops. Here are hyperfine results before and after: [before] Benchmark #1: ./t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh --root=/var/ram/git-tests Time (mean ± σ): 2.846 s ± 0.305 s [User: 3.042 s, System: 0.919 s] Range (min … max): 2.250 s … 3.210 s 10 runs [after] Benchmark #1: ./t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh --root=/var/ram/git-tests Time (mean ± σ): 2.210 s ± 0.174 s [User: 2.570 s, System: 0.604 s] Range (min … max): 1.999 s … 2.590 s 10 runs So we're over 20% faster, while making the callers slightly shorter. We added a lot more lines in test-lib-function.sh, of course, and the helper is way more featureful than we need here. But my hope is that it will be flexible enough to use in more places.

Johannes Schindelin	ed33bd8f30	t0001: fix on case-insensitive filesystems On a case-insensitive filesystem, such as HFS+ or NTFS, it is possible that the idea Bash has of the current directory differs in case from what Git thinks it is. That's totally okay, though, and we should not expect otherwise. On Windows, for example, when you call cd C:\GIT-SDK-64 in a PowerShell and there exists a directory called `C:\git-sdk-64`, the current directory will be reported in all upper-case. Even in a Bash that you might call from that PowerShell. Git, however, will have normalized this via `GetFinalPathByHandle()`, and the expectation in t0001 that the recorded gitdir will match what `pwd` says will be violated. Let's address this by comparing these paths in a case-insensitive manner when `core.ignoreCase` is `true`. Reported by Jameson Miller.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason	c740039921	tests: make GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS a boolean Change the GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS variable from being "non-empty?" to being a more standard boolean variable. I recently added the variable in `dfe1a17df9` ("tests: add a special setup where prerequisites fail", 2019-05-13), having to add another "non-empty?" special-case is what prompted me to write the "git env--helper" utility being used here. Converting this one is a bit tricky since we use it so early and frequently in the guts of the test code itself, so let's set a GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS_INTERNAL which can be tested with the old "test -n" for the purposes of the shell code, and change the user-exposed and documented GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS variable to a boolean.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason	3b072c577b	tests: replace test_tristate with "git env--helper" The test_tristate helper introduced in `83d842dc8c` ("tests: turn on network daemon tests by default", 2014-02-10) can now be better implemented with "git env--helper" to give the variables in question the standard boolean behavior. The reason for the "tristate" was to have all of false/true/auto, where "auto" meant either "false" or "true" depending on what the fallback was. With the --default option to "git env--helper" we can simply have e.g. GIT_TEST_HTTPD where we know if it's true because the user asked explicitly ("true"), or true implicitly ("auto"). This breaks backwards compatibility for explicitly setting "auto" for these variables, but I don't think anyone cares. That was always intended to be internal. This means the test_normalize_bool() code in test-lib-functions.sh goes away in addition to test_tristate(). We still need the test_skip_or_die() helper, but now it takes the variable name instead of the value, and uses "git env--bool" to distinguish a default "true" from an explicit "true" (in those "explicit true" cases we want to fail the test in question).

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason	dfe1a17df9	tests: add a special setup where prerequisites fail As discussed in [1] there's a regression in the "pu" branch now because a new test implicitly assumed that a previous test guarded by a prerequisite had been run. Add a "GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS" special test setup where we'll skip (nearly) all tests guarded by prerequisites, allowing us to easily emulate those platform where we don't run these tests. As noted in the documentation I'm adding I'm whitelisting the SYMLINKS prerequisite for now. A lot of tests started failing if we lied about not supporting symlinks. It's also unlikely that we'll have a failing test due to a hard dependency on symlinks without that being the obvious cause, so for now it's not worth the effort to make it work. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1905131531000.44@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	6 years ago
Taylor Blau	5c07647d98	t: move 'hex2oct' into test-lib-functions.sh The helper 'hex2oct' is used to convert base-16 encoded data into a base-8 binary form, and is useful for preparing data for commands that accept input in a binary format, such as 'git hash-object', via 'printf'. This helper is defined identically in three separate places throughout 't'. Move the definition to test-lib-function.sh, so that it can be used in new test suites, and its definition is not redundant. This will likewise make our job easier in the subsequent commit, which also uses 'hex2oct'. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	6 years ago
Johannes Schindelin	900721e15c	test-lib: introduce 'test_atexit' When running Apache, 'git daemon', or p4d, we want to kill them at the end of the test script, otherwise a leftover daemon process will keep its port open indefinitely, and thus will interfere with subsequent executions of the same test script. So far, we stop these daemon processes "manually", i.e.: - by registering functions or commands in the trap on EXIT to stop the daemon while preserving the last seen exit code before the trap (to deal with a failure when run with '--immediate' or with interrupts by ctrl-C), - and by invoking these functions/commands last thing before 'test_done' (and sometimes restoring the test framework's default trap on EXIT, to prevent the daemons from being killed twice). On one hand, we do this inconsistently, e.g. 'git p4' tests invoke different functions in the trap on EXIT and in the last test before 'test_done', and they neither restore the test framework's default trap on EXIT nor preserve the last seen exit code. On the other hand, this is error prone, because, as shown in a previous patch in this series, any output from the cleanup commands in the trap on EXIT can prevent a proper cleanup when a test script run with '--verbose-log' and certain shells, notably 'dash', is interrupted. Let's introduce 'test_atexit', which is loosely modeled after 'test_when_finished', but has a broader scope: rather than running the commands after the current test case, run them when the test script finishes, and also run them when the test is interrupted, or exits early in case of a failure while the '--immediate' option is in effect. When running the cleanup commands at the end of a successful test, then they will be run in 'test_done' before it removes the trash directory, i.e. the cleanup commands will still be able to access any pidfiles or socket files in there. When running the cleanup commands after an interrupt or failure with '--immediate', then they will be run in the trap on EXIT. In both cases they will be run in 'test_eval_', i.e. both standard error and output of all cleanup commands will go where they should according to the '-v' or '--verbose-log' options, and thus won't cause any troubles when interrupting a test script run with '--verbose-log'.

Johannes Schindelin	d5cfd142ec	tests: teach the test-tool to generate NUL bytes and use it In `cc95bc2025` (t5562: replace /dev/zero with a pipe from generate_zero_bytes, 2019-02-09), we replaced usage of /dev/zero (which is not available on NonStop, apparently) by a Perl script snippet to generate NUL bytes. Sadly, it does not seem to work on NonStop, as t5562 reportedly hangs. Worse, this also hangs in the Ubuntu 16.04 agents of the CI builds on Azure Pipelines: for some reason, the Perl script snippet that is run via `generate_zero_bytes` in t5562's 'CONTENT_LENGTH overflow ssite_t' test case tries to write out an infinite amount of NUL bytes unless a broken pipe is encountered, that snippet never encounters the broken pipe, and keeps going until the build times out. Oddly enough, this does not reproduce on the Windows and macOS agents, nor in a local Ubuntu 18.04. This developer tried for a day to figure out the exact circumstances under which this hang happens, to no avail, the details remain a mystery. In the end, though, what counts is that this here change incidentally fixes that hang (maybe also on NonStop?). Even more positively, it gets rid of yet another unnecessary Perl invocation.

I used '^' instead in three places in the previous three commits, to verify that the arguments of the '--stress=' and '--stress-limit=' options and the values of various '*_PORT' environment variables are valid numbers. With certain shells, at least with dash (upstream and in Ubuntu 14.04) and mksh, this led to various undesired behaviors: # error message in case of a valid number $ ~/src/dash/src/dash ./t3903-stash.sh --stress=8 error: --stress=<N> requires the number of jobs to run # not the expected error message $ ~/src/dash/src/dash ./t3903-stash.sh --stress=foo ./t3903-stash.sh: 238: test: Illegal number: foo # no error message at all?! $ mksh ./t3903-stash.sh --stress=foo $ echo $? 0 Some other shells, e.g. Bash (even in posix mode), ksh, dash in Ubuntu 16.04 or later, are apparently happy to accept '^' just as well.

SZEDER Gábor	fb7d1e3ac8	test-lib: add the '--stress' option to run a test repeatedly under load Unfortunately, we have a few flaky tests, whose failures tend to be hard to reproduce. We've found that the best we can do to reproduce such a failure is to run the test script repeatedly while the machine is under load, and wait in the hope that the load creates enough variance in the timing of the test's commands that a failure is evenually triggered. I have a command to do that, and I noticed that two other contributors have rolled their own scripts to do the same, all choosing slightly different approaches. To help reproduce failures in flaky tests, introduce the '--stress' option to run a test script repeatedly in multiple parallel jobs until one of them fails, thereby using the test script itself to increase the load on the machine. The number of parallel jobs is determined by, in order of precedence: the number specified as '--stress=<N>', or the value of the GIT_TEST_STRESS_LOAD environment variable, or twice the number of available processors (as reported by the 'getconf' utility), or 8. Make '--stress' imply '--verbose -x --immediate' to get the most information about rare failures; there is really no point in spending all the extra effort to reproduce such a failure, and then not know which command failed and why. To prevent the several parallel invocations of the same test from interfering with each other: - Include the parallel job's number in the name of the trash directory and the various output files under 't/test-results/' as a '.stress-<Nr>' suffix. - Add the parallel job's number to the port number specified by the user or to the test number, so even tests involving daemons listening on a TCP socket can be stressed. - Redirect each parallel test run's verbose output to 't/test-results/$TEST_NAME.stress-<nr>.out', because dumping the output of several parallel running tests to the terminal would create a big ugly mess. For convenience, print the output of the failed test job at the end, and rename its trash directory to end with the '.stress-failed' suffix, so it's easy to find in a predictable path (OTOH, all absolute paths recorded in the trash directory become invalid; we'll see whether this causes any issues in practice). If, in an unlikely case, more than one jobs were to fail nearly at the same time, then print the output of all failed jobs, and rename the trash directory of only the last one (i.e. with the highest job number), as it is the trash directory of the test whose output will be at the bottom of the user's terminal.

SZEDER Gábor	fa84058180	test-lib-functions: introduce the 'test_set_port' helper function Several test scripts run daemons like 'git-daemon' or Apache, and communicate with them through TCP sockets. To have unique ports where these daemons are accessible, the ports are usually the number of the corresponding test scripts, unless the user overrides them via environment variables, and thus all those tests and test libs contain more or less the same bit of one-liner boilerplate code to find out the port. The last patch in this series will make this a bit more complicated. Factor out finding the port for a daemon into the common helper function 'test_set_port' to avoid repeating ourselves. Take special care of test scripts with "low" numbers: - Test numbers below 1024 would result in a port that's only usable as root, so set their port to '10000 + test-nr' to make sure it doesn't interfere with other tests in the test suite. This makes the hardcoded port number in 't0410-partial-clone.sh' unnecessary, remove it. - The shell's arithmetic evaluation interprets numbers with leading zeros as octal values, which means that test number below 1000 and containing the digits 8 or 9 will trigger an error. Remove all leading zeros from the test numbers to prevent this. Note that the 'git p4' tests are unlike the other tests involving daemons in that: - 'lib-git-p4.sh' doesn't use the test's number for unique port as is, but does a bit of additional arithmetic on top [1]. - The port is not overridable via an environment variable. With this patch even 'git p4' tests will use the test's number as default port, and it will be overridable via the P4DPORT environment variable. [1] Commit `fc00233071` (git-p4 tests: refactor and cleanup, 2011-08-22) introduced that "unusual" unique port computation without explaining why it was necessary (as opposed to simply using the test number as is). It seems to be just unnecessary complication, and in any case that commit came way before the "test nr as unique port" got "standardized" for other daemons in commits `c44132fcf3` (tests: auto-set git-daemon port, 2014-02-10), `3bb486e439` (tests: auto-set LIB_HTTPD_PORT from test name, 2014-02-10), and `bf9d7df950` (t/lib-git-svn.sh: improve svnserve tests with parallel make test, 2017-12-01).

SZEDER Gábor	30d0b6dccb	test-lib-functions: make 'test_cmp_rev' more informative on failure The 'test_cmp_rev' helper is merely a wrapper around 'test_cmp' checking the output of two 'git rev-parse' commands, which means that its output on failure is not particularly informative, as it's basically two OIDs with a bit of extra clutter of the diff header, but without any indication of which two revisions have caused the failure: --- expect.rev 2018-11-17 14:02:11.569747033 +0000 +++ actual.rev 2018-11-17 14:02:11.569747033 +0000 @@ -1 +1 @@ -d79ce1670bdcb76e6d1da2ae095e890ccb326ae9 +139b20d8e6c5b496de61f033f642d0e3dbff528d It also pollutes the test repo with these two intermediate files, though that doesn't seem to cause any complications in our current tests (meaning that I couldn't find any tests that have to work around the presence of these files by explicitly removing or ignoring them). Enhance 'test_cmp_rev' to provide a more useful output on failure with less clutter: error: two revisions point to different objects: 'HEAD^': d79ce1670bdcb76e6d1da2ae095e890ccb326ae9 'extra': 139b20d8e6c5b496de61f033f642d0e3dbff528d Doing so is more convenient when storing the OIDs outputted by 'git rev-parse' in a local variable each, which, as a bonus, won't pollute the repository with intermediate files.

SZEDER Gábor	165293af3c	tests: send "bug in the test script" errors to the script's stderr Some of the functions in our test library check that they were invoked properly with conditions like this: test "$#" = 2 \|\| error "bug in the test script: not 2 parameters to test-expect-success" If this particular condition is triggered, then 'error' will abort the whole test script with a bold red error message [1] right away. However, under certain circumstances the test script will be aborted completely silently, namely if: - a similar condition in a test helper function like 'test_line_count' is triggered, - which is invoked from the test script's "main" shell [2], - and the test script is run manually (i.e. './t1234-foo.sh' as opposed to 'make t1234-foo.sh' or 'make test') [3] - and without the '--verbose' option, because the error message is printed from within 'test_eval_', where standard output is redirected either to /dev/null or to a log file. The only indication that something is wrong is that not all tests in the script are executed and at the end of the test script's output there is no "# passed all N tests" message, which are subtle and can easily go unnoticed, as I had to experience myself. Send these "bug in the test script" error messages directly to the test scripts standard error and thus to the terminal, so those bugs will be much harder to overlook. Instead of updating all ~20 such 'error' calls with a redirection, let's add a BUG() function to 'test-lib.sh', wrapping an 'error' call with the proper redirection and also including the common prefix of those error messages, and convert all those call sites [4] to use this new BUG() function instead. [1] That particular error message from 'test_expect_success' is printed in color only when running with or without '--verbose'; with '--tee' or '--verbose-log' the error is printed without color, but it is printed to the terminal nonetheless. [2] If such a condition is triggered in a subshell of a test, then 'error' won't be able to abort the whole test script, but only the subshell, which in turn causes the test to fail in the usual way, indicating loudly and clearly that something is wrong. [3] Well, 'error' aborts the test script the same way when run manually or by 'make' or 'prove', but both 'make' and 'prove' pay attention to the test script's exit status, and even a silently aborted test script would then trigger those tools' usual noticable error messages. [4] Strictly speaking, not all those 'error' calls need that redirection to send their output to the terminal, see e.g. 'test_expect_success' in the opening example, but I think it's better to be consistent.

Johannes Schindelin	8abfdf44c8	tests: explicitly use `git.exe` on Windows On Windows, when we refer to `/an/absolute/path/to/git`, it magically resolves `git.exe` at that location. Except if something of the name `git` exists next to that `git.exe`. So if we call `$BUILD_DIR/git`, it will find `$BUILD_DIR/git.exe` only if there is not, say, a directory called `$BUILD_DIR/git`. Such a directory, however, exists in Git for Windows when building with Visual Studio (our Visual Studio project generator defaults to putting the build files into a directory whose name is the base name of the corresponding `.exe`). In the bin-wrappers/* scripts, we already take pains to use `git.exe` rather than `git`, as this could pick up the wrong thing on Windows (i.e. if there exists a `git` file or directory in the build directory). Now we do the same in the tests' start-up code. This also helps when testing an installed Git, as there might be even more likely some stray file or directory in the way. Note: the only way we can record whether the `.exe` suffix is by writing it to the `GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS` file and sourcing it at the beginning of `t/test-lib.sh`. This is not a requirement introduced by this patch, but we move the call to be able to use the `$X` variable that holds the file extension, if any. Note also: the many, many calls to `git this` and `git that` are unaffected, as the regular PATH search will find the `.exe` files on Windows (and not be confused by a directory of the name `git` that is in one of the directories listed in the `PATH` variable), while `/path/to/git` would not, per se, know that it is looking for an executable and happily prefer such a directory.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason	6cdccfce1e	i18n: make GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option Change the GETTEXT_POISON compile-time + runtime GIT_GETTEXT_POISON test parameter to only be a GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=<non-empty?> runtime parameter, to be consistent with other parameters documented in "Running tests with special setups" in t/README. When I added GETTEXT_POISON in `bb946bba76` ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly translator", 2011-02-22) I was concerned with ensuring that the _() function would get constant folded if NO_GETTEXT was defined, and likewise that GETTEXT_POISON would be compiled out unless it was defined. But as the benchmark in my [1] shows doing a one-off runtime getenv("GIT_TEST_[...]") is trivial, and since GETTEXT_POISON was originally added the GIT_TEST_* env variables have become the common idiom for turning on special test setups. So change GETTEXT_POISON to work the same way. Now the GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time option is gone, and running the tests with GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=[YesPlease\|] can be toggled on/off without recompiling. This allows for conditionally amending tests to test with/without poison, similar to what `859fdc0c3c` ("commit-graph: define GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH", 2018-08-29) did for GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH. Do some of that, now we e.g. always run the t0205-gettext-poison.sh test. I did enough there to remove the GETTEXT_POISON prerequisite, but its inverse C_LOCALE_OUTPUT is still around, and surely some tests using it can be converted to e.g. always set GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=. Notes on the implementation: * We still compile a dedicated GETTEXT_POISON build in Travis CI. Perhaps this should be revisited and integrated into the "linux-gcc" build, see `ae59a4e44f` ("travis: run tests with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX", 2018-01-07) for prior art in that area. Then again maybe not, see [2]. * We now skip a test in t0000-basic.sh under GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease that wasn't skipped before. This test relies on C locale output, but due to an edge case in how the previous implementation of GETTEXT_POISON worked (reading it from GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS) wasn't enabling poison correctly. Now it does, and needs to be skipped. * The getenv() function is not reentrant, so out of paranoia about code of the form: printf(_("%s"), getenv("some-env")); call use_gettext_poison() in our early setup in git_setup_gettext() so we populate the "poison_requested" variable in a codepath that's won't suffer from that race condition. * We error out in the Makefile if you're still saying GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease to prompt users to change their invocation. * We should not print out poisoned messages during the test initialization itself to keep it more readable, so the test library hides the variable if set in $GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON_ORIG during setup. See [3]. See also [4] for more on the motivation behind this patch, and the history of the GETTEXT_POISON facility. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/871s8gd32p.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ 2. https://public-inbox.org/git/20181102163725.GY30222@szeder.dev/ 3. https://public-inbox.org/git/20181022202241.18629-2-szeder.dev@gmail.com/ 4. https://public-inbox.org/git/878t2pd6yu.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	6 years ago

brian m. carlson	2c02b110da	t: add test functions to translate hash-related values Add several test functions to make working with various hash-related values easier. Add test_oid_init, which loads common hash-related constants and placeholder object IDs from the newly added files in t/oid-info. Provide values for these constants for both SHA-1 and SHA-256. Add test_oid_cache, which accepts data on standard input in the form of hash-specific key-value pairs that can be looked up later, using the same format as the files in t/oid-info. Document this format in a t/oid-info/README directory so that it's easier to use in the future. Add test_oid, which is used to specify look up a per-hash value (produced on standard output) based on the key specified as its argument. Usually the data to be looked up will be a hash-related constant (such as the size of the hash in binary or hexadecimal), a well-known or placeholder object ID (such as the all-zeros object ID or one consisting of "deadbeef" repeated), or something similar. For these reasons, test_oid will usually be used within a command substitution. Consequently, redirect the error output to standard error, since otherwise it will not be displayed. Add test_detect_hash, which currently only detects SHA-1, and test_set_hash, which can be used to set a different hash algorithm for test purposes. In the future, test_detect_hash will learn to actually detect the hash depending on how the testsuite is to be run. Use the local keyword within these functions to avoid overwriting other shell variables. We have had a test balloon in place for a couple of releases to catch shells that don't have this keyword and have not received any reports of failure. Note that the varying usages of local used here are supported by all common open-source shells supporting the local keyword. Test these new functions as part of t0000, which also serves to demonstrate basic usage of them. In addition, add documentation on how to format the lookup data and how to use the test functions. Implement two basic lookup charts, one for common invalid or synthesized object IDs, and one for various facts about the hash function in use. Provide versions of the data for both SHA-1 and SHA-256. Since we use shell variables for storage, names used for lookup can currently consist only of shell identifier characters. If this is a problem in the future, we can hash the names before use.

SZEDER Gábor	a5bf824f3b	t: prevent '-x' tracing from interfering with test helpers' stderr Running a test script with '-x' turns on 'set -x' tracing, the output of which is normally sent to stderr. This causes a lot of test failures, because many tests redirect and verify the stderr of shell functions, most frequently that of 'test_must_fail'. These issues were worked around somewhat in `d88785e424` (test-lib: set BASH_XTRACEFD automatically, 2016-05-11), so at least we could reliably run tests with '-x' tracing under a Bash version supporting BASH_XTRACEFD, i.e. v4.1 and later. Futhermore, redirecting the stderr of test helper functions like 'test_must_fail' or 'test_expect_code' is the cause of a different issue as well. If these functions detect something unexpected, they will write their error messages intended to the user to thier stderr. However, if their stderr is redirected in order to save and verify the stderr of the tested git command invoked in the function, then the function's error messages will be redirected as well. Consequently, those messages won't reach the user, making the test's verbose output less useful. This patch makes it safe to redirect and verify the stderr of those test helper functions which are meant to run the tested command given as argument, even when running tests with '-x' and /bin/sh. This is achieved through a couple of file descriptor redirections: - Duplicate stderr of the tested command executed in the test helper function from the function's fd 7 (see next point), to ensure that the tested command's error messages go to a different fd than the '-x' trace of the commands executed in the function or the function's error messages. - Duplicate the test helper function's fd 7 from the function's original stderr, meaning that, after taking a detour through fd 7, the error messages of the tested command do end up on the function's original stderr. - Duplicate stderr of the test helper function from fd 4, i.e. the fd connected to the test script's original stderr and the fd used for BASH_XTRACEFD. This ensures that the '-x' trace of the commands executed in the function - doesn't go to the function's original stderr, so it won't mess with callers who want to save and verify the tested command's stderr. - does go to the same fd independently from the shell running the test script, be it /bin/sh, an older Bash without BASH_XTRACEFD, or a more recent Bash already supporting BASH_XTRACEFD. Furthermore, this also makes sure that the function's error messages go to this fd 4, meaning that the user will be able to see them even if the function's stderr is redirected in the test. - Specify the latter two redirections above in the test helper function's definition, so they are performed every time the function is invoked, without the need to modify the callsites of the function. Perform these redirections in those test helper functions which can be expected to have their stderr redirected, i.e. in the functions 'test_must_fail', 'test_might_fail', 'test_expect_code', 'test_env', 'nongit', 'test_terminal' and 'perl'. Note that 'test_might_fail', 'test_env', and 'nongit' are not involved in any test failures when running tests with '-x' and /bin/sh. The other test helper functions are left unchanged, because they either don't run commands specified as their arguments, or redirecting their stderr wouldn't make sense, or both. With this change the number of failures when running the test suite with '-x' tracing and /bin/sh goes down from 340 failed tests in 43 test scripts to 22 failed tests in 6 scripts (or 23 in 7, if the system (OSX) uses an older Bash version without BASH_XTRACEFD to run 't9903-bash-prompt.sh').

Jeff King	03aa3783f2	t: send verbose test-helper output to fd 4 Test helper functions like test_must_fail may produce messages to stderr when they see a problem. When the tests are run with "--verbose", this ends up on the test script's stderr, and the user can read it. But there's a problem. Some tests record stderr as part of the test, like: test_must_fail git foo 2>output && test_i18ngrep expected.message output In this case the error text goes into "output". This makes the --verbose output less useful (it also means we might accidentally match it in the second, though in practice we tend to produce these messages only on error, so we'd abort the test when the first command fails). Let's instead send this user-facing output directly to descriptor 4, which always points to the original stderr (or /dev/null in non-verbose mode). And it's already forbidden to redirect descriptor 4, since we use it for BASH_XTRACEFD, as explained in `9be795fbce` (t5615: avoid re-using descriptor 4, 2017-12-08).

SZEDER Gábor	63b1a175ee	t: make 'test_i18ngrep' more informative on failure When 'test_i18ngrep' can't find the expected pattern, it exits completely silently; when its negated form does find the pattern that shouldn't be there, it prints the matching line(s) but otherwise exits without any error message. This leaves the developer puzzled about what could have gone wrong. Make 'test_i18ngrep' more informative on failure by printing an error message including the invoked 'grep' command and the contents of the file it had to scan through. Note that this "dump the scanned file" part is not quite perfect, as it dumps only the file specified as the function's last positional parameter, thus assuming that there is only a single file parameter. I think that's a reasonable assumption to make, one that holds true in the current code base. And even if someone were to scan multiple files at once in the future, the worst thing that could happen is that the verbose error message won't include the contents of all those files, only the last one. Alas, we can't really do any better than this, because checking whether the other positional parameters match a filename can result in false positives: 't3400-rebase.sh' and 't3404-rebase-interactive.sh' contain one test each, where the 'test_i18ngrep's pattern verbatimly matches a file in the trash directory.

SZEDER Gábor	fd29d7b9d7	t: validate 'test_i18ngrep's parameters Some of the previous patches in this series fixed bogus 'test_i18ngrep' invocations: - Two invocations where the tested git command's standard output is directly piped into 'test_i18ngrep'. While convenient, this is an antipattern, because the pipe hides the git command's exit code, and the test could continue even if the command exited with error. - Two invocations that had neither a filename parameter nor anything piped into their standard input, yet both managed to remain unnoticed for years. A third similarly bogus invocation is currently lurking in 'pu' for a couple of weeks now. Prevent similar mistakes in the future by validating 'test_i18ngrep's parameters requiring that - The last parameter names an existing file to be read, effectively forbidding piping into 'test_i18ngrep'. Note that this change will also forbid cases where 'test_i18ngrep' would legitimately read its standard input, e.g. when its standard input is redirected from a file, or when a git command's standard output is first written to an intermediate file, which is then preprocessed by a non-git command before the results are piped into 'test_i18ngrep'. See two of the previous patches for the only such cases we had in our test suite. However, reliably preventing the piping antipattern is arguably more important than supporting these cases, which can be easily worked around by opening the file directly or using an intermediate file anyway. - There are at least two parameters, not including the optional '!' to negate the pattern. This ought to catch corner cases when 'test_i18ngrep' looks for the name of an existing file on its standard input; the above check would miss this case becase the filename as pattern would be the last parameter. Note that this is not quite perfect, as it doesn't account for any 'grep --options' given as parameters. However, doing so would be far too complicated, considering that patterns can start with dashes as well, and in the majority of the cases we don't use any such options anyway.

Jeff King	4414a15002	t/lib-git-daemon: add network-protocol helpers All of our git-protocol tests rely on invoking the client and having it make a request of a server. That gives a nice real-world test of how the two behave together, but it doesn't leave any room for testing how a server might react to _other_ clients. Let's add a few test helper functions which can be used to manually conduct a git-protocol conversation with a remote git-daemon: 1. To connect to a remote git-daemon, we need something like "netcat". But not everybody will have netcat. And even if they do, the behavior with respect to half-duplex shutdowns is not portable (openbsd netcat has "-N", with others you must rely on "-q 1", which is racy). Here we provide a "fake_nc" that is capable of doing a client-side netcat, with sane half-duplex semantics. It relies on perl's IO::Socket::INET. That's been in the base distribution since 5.6.0, so it's probably available everywhere. But just to be on the safe side, we'll add a prereq. 2. To help tests speak and read pktline, this patch adds packetize() and depacketize() functions. I've put fake_nc() into lib-git-daemon.sh, since that's really the only server where we'd need to use a network socket. Whereas the pktline helpers may be of more general use, so I've added them to test-lib-functions.sh. Programs like upload-pack speak pktline, but can talk directly over stdio without a network socket.

It would be nice for debugging if this additionally printed errors to stderr, like our other test_* helpers. But we're going to need to use it in other places besides the innards of a test_expect block. So let's leave it as generic as possible. Note that we also leave the magic "3" for Windows out of the generic helper. This is an artifact of the way we use raise() to kill ourselves in test-sigchain.c, and will not necessarily apply to all programs.

Jeff King	48860819e8	t9300: factor out portable "head -c" replacement It is sometimes useful to be able to read exactly N bytes from a pipe. Doing this portably turns out to be surprisingly difficult in shell scripts. We want a solution that: - is portable - never reads more than N bytes due to buffering (which would mean those bytes are not available to the next program to read from the same pipe) - handles partial reads by looping until N bytes are read (or we see EOF) - is resilient to stray signals giving us EINTR while trying to read (even though we don't send them, things like SIGWINCH could cause apparently-random failures) Some possible solutions are: - "head -c" is not portable, and implementations may buffer (though GNU head does not) - "read -N" is a bash-ism, and thus not portable - "dd bs=$n count=1" does not handle partial reads. GNU dd has iflags=fullblock, but that is not portable - "dd bs=1 count=$n" fixes the partial read problem (all reads are 1-byte, so there can be no partial response). It does make a lot of write() calls, but for our tests that's unlikely to matter. It's fairly portable. We already use it in our tests, and it's unlikely that implementations would screw up any of our criteria. The most unknown one would be signal handling. - perl can do a sysread() loop pretty easily. On my Linux system, at least, it seems to restart the read() call automatically. If that turns out not to be portable, though, it would be easy for us to handle it. That makes the perl solution the least bad (because we conveniently omitted "length of code" as a criterion).

We sometimes get around this by using env, like: test_must_fail env FOO=BAR some-program But that only works because test_must_fail's arguments are themselves a command which can be run. You can't run: env FOO=BAR test_must_fail some-program because env does not know about our shell functions. So there is no equivalent for test_commit, for example, and one must resort to: ( FOO=BAR export FOO test_commit ) which is a bit verbose.
