A simple testing framework

|
|
|
To run the tests, do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd tests/
|
|
|
|
./run-tests
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes
|
|
|
|
them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is
|
|
|
|
run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output
|
|
|
|
matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in
|
|
|
|
test-<x>.err.

|
There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when
|
|
|
|
writing tests:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- hg commit and hg up -m want user interaction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for commit use -t "text"
|
|
|
|
for hg up -m, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make
|
|
|
|
things like hg history output change
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
use commit -t "test" -u test -d "0 0"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- diff will show the current time
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\).*\)\t.*/\1/" to strip dates
|
|
|

|
|
|
- set -x and pipelines don't generate stable output
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
turn off set -x or break pipelines into pieces
