Cramming all of this directly into an alias doesn't play nicely on Windows.
Various test-exchange-obsmarkers-case-XX.t were failing with:
abort: cannot select revision when creating marker
It turned out that inside debugcommands.debugobsolete(), the following differed
from Linux (where they were empty, at least in the case I debugged):
'rev': ['.`;'],
'template': "'{node}\\n'"
Mercurial checks for the introduction of new heads on push. Evolution comes
into play to detect if existing branches on the server are being replaced by
some of the new one we push.
The current code for this logic is very basic (eg: issue4354) and was poorly
tested. We have a better implementation coming in the evolve extension fixing
these issues and with more serious tests coverage. In the process of upstreaming
this improved logic, we start with adding the test case that are already passing
with the current implementation. Once they are all in, we'll upstream the better
implementation and the extra test case.
This changeset introduce the common setup script used by these tests.
About 3 years ago, in August 2014, the logic to select what markers to select on
push was ported from the evolve extension to Mercurial core. However, for some
unclear reasons, the tests for that logic were not ported alongside.
I realised it a couple of weeks ago while working on another push related issue.
I've made a clean up pass on the tests and they are now ready to integrate the
core test suite. This series of changesets do not change any logic. I just adds
test for logic that has been around for about 10 versions of Mercurial.
They are a patch for each test case. It makes it easier to review and postpone
one with documentation issues without rejecting the wholes series.
This patch introduce the common script that setup the basic environment for the
test cases. Once this script is in. We can accept the other patches in any
order.
Each test case comes it in own test file. It help parallelism and does not
introduce a significant overhead from having a single unified giant test file.
Here are timing to support this claim.
