The tests often set ui.interactive to control normally interactive prompts from
stdin. That gave an output where it was non-obvious what prompts got which
which response, and the output lacked the newline users would see after input.
Instead, if the input not is a tty, write the selection and a newline.
Python 2.7.7 and later (as well as some ubuntu/debian packages of
2.7.6) include a fix that makes the email module more pedantically
correct for MIME boundaries, but this breaks our tests. We work around
this by filtering the output of any 'hg email' invocations in the test
that produce MIME messages.
This currently has the side effect that the 0 of N message has no
series-id. This won't matter for Mercurial's own use, but may be
undesirable for other projects depending on their workflow.
The way the header is inserted is intentionally a little funny to make
the test expectation diff easier to review.
This makes it significantly less painful to use --interactive on
run-tests, as you can now use the recorded regular expression
substitutions to fix up the glob lines and produce zero diffs.
This also tightens the expectations of a few of the lines for the MIME
boundaries - it just seemed like the thing to do while in here and
causing some changes.
Now that we have patch index and series size information, having a unique series
identifier will helps tool to glue all email back together without any
additional logic.
We includes information about the series being patch bombed in all email. Two
new headers are added:
* X-Mercurial-Series-Index: index of the patches in the series (starts at 1)
* X-Mercurial-Series-Total: The total number of patches in the series
This information is available in the email subject line, but having them
formalized in the header will helps automated tools to process patches send with
modern mercurial.
'export' is the official export format and used by patchbomb, but it would only
show date as a timestamp that most humans might find it hard to relate to. It
would be very convenient when reviewing a patch to be able to see what
timestamp the patch will end up with.
Mercurial has always used util.parsedate for parsing these headers. It can
handle 'all' date formats, so we could just as well use a readable one.
'export' will now use the format used by 'log' - which is the format described
as 'Unix date format' in the templating help. We assume that all parsers of '#
HG changeset patch'es can handle that.
Before this change, the thread hierarchy looked like this:
PARENT
PATCH1/x
PATCH2/x
PATCH3/x
...
Now it is:
PARENT
PATCH1/x
PATCH2/x
PATCH3/x
...
With an introductory message the behaviour is unchanged:
PARENT
INTRO
PATCH1/x
PATCH2/x
PATCH3/x
...
Many tests didn't change back from subdirectories at the end of the tests ...
and they don't have to. The missing 'cd ..' could always be added when another
test case is added to the test file.
This change do that tests (99.5%) consistently end up in $TESTDIR where they
started, thus making it simpler to extend them or move them around.
There is currently no way to make patchbomb include patches both as attachments
and as inline text. This would be quite convenient when sending patches to
people who use web email clients (e.g. gmail) which often mangle the patches,
making them hard to apply.
The default behavior of the email command is unchanged. However it is now
possible to use the --body flag _in addition_ to the -i or -a flags, in which
case the patchbomb emails will contain the patch as inline body text and as an
attachment.
A new test has been added to test-patchbomb.t ("test attach for single
patch"), based on the existing test called "test attach for single patch" test.
This matches our pre-existing behavior from:

description:
ui.prompt: Show prompt and selection in non-interactive mode
- prompt(): respect interactive mode; clarify logic a bit
- rename introneeded() to introwanted() and give it only one caller
- add 'numbered' arg to makepatch() so it does not need to call
introwanted()
- factor makeintro() out of getpatchmsgs(), so it's easier to skip the
intro message based on the user's behaviour
Unexpected but perfectly reasonable side effect: in non-interactive
mode, we don't show unanswerable "Cc" or "From" prompts anymore, so
remove those from the test expectations.
This makes test output less ambiguous.
Failing test output will be escaped and marked up if necessary. A Python
string-escape compatible encoding is used, but not everything is encoded -
especially not \n and \t and '.
This adds a " (glob)" marker that works like a simpler version of
(re): "*" is converted to ".*", and "?" is converted to ".".
Both special characters can be escaped using "\", and the backslash
itself can be escaped as well.
Other glob-style syntax, like "**", "[chars]", or "[!chars]", isn't
supported.
Consider this test:
$ hg glog --template '{rev}:{node|short} "{desc}"\n'
@ 2:20c4f79fd7ac "3"
|
| o 1:38f24201dcab "2"
|/
o 0:2a18120dc1c9 "1"
Because each line beginning with "|" can be compiled as a regular
expression (equivalent to ".*|"), they will match any output.
Similarly:
$ echo foo
The blank output line can be compiled as a regular expression and will
also match any output.
With this patch, none of the above output lines will be matched as
regular expressions. A line must end in " (re)" in order to be matched
as one.
Lines are still matched literally first, so the following will pass:
$ echo 'foo (re)'
foo (re)
--confirm presents same prompt as --diffstat, but does not write
a diffstat to the messages' bodies.
A simple test simulating a negative response is included.
This changes the behaviour of --diffstat.
Before the user was asked for confirmation of each patch with its
description and diffstat, and a final summary.
Now there is only one prompt right before sending with a final
summary which does not include the patch descriptions, but the
message details and the diffstats:
Final summary:
From: sender
To: recipient(s)
Cc: (if present)
Bcc: (if present)
Reply-To: (if present)
Subject: [patch 0 of x [flags]] intro (if present)
a | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
b | 15 +++++++++++++++
Subject: [patch 1 of x [flags]] subject
a | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[ ... ]
are you sure you want to send (yn)?
