IMHO, these tests were listed up in blacklist at f82d98daa0de, because
fsmonitor extension wasn't correctly installed before actual testing
at that revision (this issue was fixed by 5b36c6365794).
This script does a bunch of non-trivial configuration work: in particular, it
sets up an isolated instance of Watchman which isn't affected by global state
and can be torn down on completion.
This script also sets the HGFSMONITOR_TESTS environment variable, which hghave
will use in the next patch to allow gating on whether fsmonitor is enabled.
With fsmonitor enabled, there appear to be a number of failures in the test
suite. It's not yet clear to me why they're happening, but if someone would
like to jump in and fix some of them I hope this will be helpful for that.
Extension to plug into a Watchman daemon, speeding up hg status calls by
relying on OS events to tell us what files have changed.
Originally developed at https://bitbucket.org/facebook/hgwatchman
This extension has always had correctness issues and has been
unmaintained for years. It is now removed in favor of the third-party
hgwatchman which is maintained and appears to be correct.
Users with inotify enabled in their config files will fall back to
standard status performance.
Following discussions with Gilles Morris [1], it seems that it is preferable to
use several blacklist files in a blacklists/ directory. It is easier to add an
unversioned file for experiments than modifying a tracked file.
Also fall back to a simpler syntax, giving up ConfigParser, now that section
names are not needed anymore.
And allow --blacklist parameter to be a complete path, instead of only one
of the filenames contained in tests/blacklists/
