You may want to run the test suite with a different shell
than you use to build Git. For instance, you may build with
SHELL_PATH=/bin/sh (because it's faster, or it's what you
expect to exist on systems where the build will be used) but
want to run the test suite with bash (e.g., since that
allows using "-x" reliably across the whole test suite).
There's currently no good way to do this.
You might think that doing two separate make invocations,
like:
make &&
make -C t SHELL_PATH=/bin/bash
would work. And it _almost_ does. The second make will see
our bash SHELL_PATH, and we'll use that to run the
individual test scripts (or tell prove to use it to do so).
So far so good.
But this breaks down when "--tee" or "--verbose-log" is
used. Those options cause the test script to actually
re-exec itself using $SHELL_PATH. But wait, wouldn't our
second make invocation have set SHELL_PATH correctly in the
environment?
Yes, but test-lib.sh sources GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS, which we
built during the first "make". And that overrides the
environment, giving us the original SHELL_PATH again.
Let's introduce a new variable that lets you specify a
specific shell to be run for the test scripts. Note that we
have to touch both the main and t/ Makefiles, since we have
to record it in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS in one, and use it in the
latter.

This patch automates the process of determining which tests failed
previously and re-running them.
While developing patch series, it is a good practice to run the test
suite from time to time, just to make sure that obvious bugs are caught
early. With complex patch series, it is common to run `make -j15 -k
test`, i.e. run the tests in parallel and *not* stop at the first
failing test but continue. This has the advantage of identifying
possibly multiple problems in one big test run.
It is particularly important to reduce the turn-around time thusly on
Windows, where the test suite spends 45 minutes on the computer on which
this patch was developed.
It is the most convenient way to determine which tests failed after
running the entire test suite, in parallel, to look for left-over "trash
directory.t*" subdirectories in the t/ subdirectory. However, those
directories might live outside t/ when overridden using the
--root=<directory> option, to which the Makefile has no access. The next
best method is to grep explicitly for failed tests in the test-results/
directory, which the Makefile *can* access.
Please note that the often-recommended `prove` tool requires Perl, and
that opens a whole new can of worms on Windows. As no native Windows Perl
comes with Subversion bindings, we have to use a Perl in Git for Windows
that uses the POSIX emulation layer named MSYS2 (which is a portable
version of Cygwin). When using this emulation layer under stress, e.g.
when running massively-parallel tests, unexplicable crashes occur quite
frequently, and instead of having a solution to the original problem, the
developer now has an additional, quite huge problem. For that reason, this
developer rejected `prove` as a solution and went with this patch instead.

Some pathnames that are okay on ext4 and on HFS+ cannot be checked
out on Windows. Tests that want to see operations on such paths on
filesystems that support them must do so behind appropriate test
prerequisites, and must not include them in the source tree (instead
they should create them when they run). Otherwise, the source tree
cannot even be checked out.
Make sure that double-quotes, asterisk, colon, greater/less-than,
question-mark, backslash, tab, vertical-bar, as well as any non-ASCII
characters never appear in the pathnames with a new test-lint-* target
as part of a `make test`. To that end, we call `git ls-files` (ensuring
that the paths are quoted properly), relying on the fact that paths
containing non-ASCII characters are quoted within double-quotes.
In case that the source code does not actually live in a Git
repository (e.g. when extracted from a .zip file), or that the `git`
executable cannot be executed, we simply ignore the error for now; In
that case, our trusty Continuous Integration will be the last line of
defense and catch any problematic file name.
Noticed when a topic wanted to add a pathname with '>' in it. A
check like this will prevent a similar problems from happening in the

Only the two targets "test-lint-duplicates" and "test-lint-executable" are
currently executed when running the test target. This was done on purpose
when the TEST_LINT variable was added in 81127d74 to avoid twisted shell
scripting by developers only to avoid false positives that might result
from the rather simple minded tests, e.g. test-lint-shell-syntax. But it
looks like it might be better to include all lint tests to help developers
to detect non portable shell constructs before the patch is sent to the
list and reviewed there.
Change the TEST_LINT variable to run all lint test unless the TEST_LINT
variable is overridden. If we hit false positives more often than helping
developers to avoid non-portable code (or add less accurate or slow tests
later) we could still fall back to exclude them like 81127d74 proposed.

The test Makefile knows about a few "lint" checks for common
errors. However, they are not enabled as part of "make test"
by default, which means that many people do not bother
running them. Since they are both quick to run and accurate
(i.e., no false positives), there should be no harm in
turning them on and helping submitters catch errors earlier.
We could just set:
TEST_LINT = test-lint
to enable all tests. But that would be unnecessarily
annoying later on if we add slower or less accurate tests
that should not be part of the default. Instead, we name the
tests individually.

This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It
tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible,
and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers.
The following points were considered for the implementation:
1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against
each other. They may not have the performance test under
consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure.
To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary
build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions
if it doesn't have them at hand yet.
2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too
long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run;
or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for
discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for
real-world use.
3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely
time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos
is out of the question.
We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test
repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of
those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries
to use the build tree's git.git repository.
This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone
preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such
as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc.

Starting from GNU Make 3.82 $(wildcard ...) no longer sorts the result
(from NEWS):
* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
Wildcards were not documented as returning sorted values, but the results
have been sorted up until this release.. If your makefiles require sorted
results from wildcard expansions, use the $(sort ...) function to request
it explicitly.
2a59dc32aa
I usually watch test progress visually, and if tests are sorted, even
with make -j4 they go more or less incrementally by their t number. On
the other side, without sorting, tests are executed in seemingly random
order even for -j1. Let's please maintain sane tests order for perceived
prettyness.
Another note is that in GNU Make sort also works as uniq, so after sort
being removed, we might expect e.g. $(wildcard *.sh a.*) to produce
duplicates for e.g. "a.sh". From this point of view, adding sort could
be seen as hardening t/Makefile from accidentally introduced dups.
It turned out that prevous releases of GNU Make did not perform full
sort in $(wildcard), only sorting results for each pattern, that's why
explicit sort-as-uniq is relevant even for older makes.

There are some common but minor errors we tend to make in
writing test scripts:
1. Scripts are left non-executable. This is not usually
noticed immediately because "make test" does not need
the bit, but it is a matter of git policy to make them
executable (and is a slight convenience when running
individual scripts).
2. Two scripts are allocated the same number. Usually this
happens on separate branches, and the problem only
comes about during a merge. But since there is no
textual conflict, the merger would have to be very
observant to notice.
This is also a minor error, but can make GIT_SKIP_TESTS
ambiguous.
This patch introduces a "test-lint" target which checks
both. It is not invoked by default. You can invoke it as
"make test-lint", or you can make it a prerequisite of
running the tests by specifying "TEST_LINT = test-lint" in
your config.mak or on the command line.

Add the capability to send smoke reports from the Git test suite.
Currently we only notice bugs in the test suite when it's run
manually. Bugs in Git that only occur on obscure platforms or setups
that the core developers aren't using can thus go unnoticed.
This series aims to change that. With it, anyone that's interested in
avoiding bitrot in Git can volunteer to run a smoke tester. A smoke
tester periodically compiles the latest version of Git, runs the test
suite, and submits a report to a central server indicating how the
test run went.
A smoke tester might run something like this in cron:
#!/bin/sh
cd ~/g/git
git fetch
for branch in maint master next pu; do
git checkout origin/$i &&
make clean all &&
cd t &&
make smoke_report
done
The smoker might want to compile git with non-default flags, include
bisecting functionality or run the tests under valgrind. Doing that is
outside the scope of this patch, this just adds a report submission
mechanism. But including a canonical smoke runner is something we'll
want to include eventually.
What this does now is add smoke and smoke_report targets to t/Makefile
(this example only uses a few tests for demonstration):
$ make clean smoke
rm -f -r 'trash directory'.* test-results
rm -f t????/cvsroot/CVSROOT/?*
rm -f -r valgrind/bin
rm -f .prove

GIT_TEST_CMP from t/Makefile, which is why 'make test' continued to
fail most tests on most architectures - test-lib.sh was falling back
on its default of `diff -u' for GIT_TEST_CMP. This version of this
patch shows a vast improvement in testsuite results where either GNU
diff is in the path at configure time, or where Makefile knows that
GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp is required.

In tests, call test_cmp rather than raw diff where possible (i.e. if
the output does not go to a pipe), to allow the use of, say, 'cmp'
when the default 'diff -u' is not compatible with a vendor diff.
When that is not possible, use $DIFF, as set in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.

It does not make much sense to run the (expensive) valgrind tests and
not look at the output.
To prevent output from scrolling out of reach, the parameter --tee is
implied, too.

It is easy to forget running valgrinded tests without -v, and it is
also easy to forget to redirect the output to "tee" (lest the output
scroll out of the terminal's buffer). Running "make valgrind" will
take care of all that.

On multiprocessor machines, or with I/O heavy tests (that leave the
CPU waiting a lot), it makes sense to parallelize the tests.
However, care has to be taken that the different jobs use different
trash directories.
This commit does so, by creating the trash directories with a suffix
that is unique with regard to the test, as it is the test's base name.
Further, the trash directory is removed in the test itself if
everything went fine, so that the trash directories do not
pile up only to be removed at the very end.
If a test failed, the trash directory is not removed. Chances are
that the exact error message is lost in the clutter, but you can still
see what test failed from the name of the trash directory, and repeat
the test (without -j).
If all was good, you will see the aggregated results.
Suggestions to simplify this commit came from Junio and René.
There still is an issue with tests that want to run a server process and
listen to a fixed port (http and svn) --- they cannot run in parallel but
this patch does not address this issue.

The Makefile targets 'aggregate-results' and 'clean' pretended to be
independent. This is not true, of course, since aggregate-results
needs the results _before_ they are removed.
Likewise, the tests should have been run already when the results are
to be aggregated.
However, as it is legitimate to run only a few tests, and then aggregate
just those results, so another target is introduced, that depends on all
tests, then aggregates the results, and only then removes the results.

This patch makes 'make' output the aggregated results at the end of each build.
The 'git-test-result' file is removed both before and after each build.
