The python hooks have access to the hook type information. There is not reason
for external hook to not be aware of it too.
For the record my use case is to make sure a hook script is configured for the
right type.
Hooks related to the transaction are aware of the transaction id. By definition
this txn-id is unique and different for each transaction. As a result it can
never be predicted in test and always needs matching. As a result, touching any
like with this data is annoying. We solve the problem once and for all by
installing an automatic replacement. In test, this will now show as:
TXNID=TXN:$ID$
This patch replaces hardcoded 127.0.0.1 with $LOCALIP in all tests.
Till now, the IPv6 series should make tests pass on common IPv6 systems
where the local device has the address "::1" and the hostname "localhost"
resolves to "::1".
On Windows platform, invoking printenv.py directly via hook is
problematic, because:
- unless binding between *.py suffix and python runtime, application
selector dialog is displayed, and running test is blocked at each
printenv.py invocations
- it isn't safe to assume binding between *.py suffix and python
runtime, because application binding is easily broken
For example, installing IDE (VisualStudio with Python Tools, or
so) often requires binding between source files and IDE itself.
This patch invokes printenv.py via sh -c for test portability. This is
a kind of follow up for 9e4331825bea, which eliminated explicit
"python" for printenv.py. There are already other 'sh -c "printenv.py"'
in *.t files, and this fix should be reasonable.
This changes were confirmed in cases below:
- without any application binding for *.py suffix
- with binding between *.py suffix and VisualStudio
This patch also replaces "echo + redirection" style with "heredoc"
style, because:
- hook command line is parsed by cmd.exe as shell at first, and
- single quotation can't quote arguments on cmd.exe, therefore,
- "printenv.py foobar" should be quoted by double quotation, but
- nested quoting (or tricky escaping) isn't readable
Sometimes a txnclose or changegroup hook wants to iterate through all
the changesets in transaction: in that situation usually the revset
`$HG_NODE:` is used to select the revisions. Unfortunately this revset
sometimes may contain too many changesets because we don't have the
write lock while the hook runs newer changes may be added to
repository in the meantime.
That's why there is a need for extra variable carrying the information about
the last change in the transaction.
$TESTDIR is added to the path, so this is superfluous. Also,
inconsistent use of quotes means we might have broken on tests with
paths containing spaces.
We want to keep both code paths tested. The test is a bit too extensive to
simply introduce dual testing in it, so we make a copy for each protocol
version.
