TAP, the Test Anything Protocol, is a simple text-based interface
between testing modules in a test harness. test-lib.sh's output was
already very close to being valid TAP. This change brings it all the
way there. Before:
$ ./t0005-signals.sh
* ok 1: sigchain works
* passed all 1 test(s)
And after:
$ ./t0005-signals.sh
ok 1 - sigchain works
# passed all 1 test(s)
1..1
The advantage of using TAP is that any program that reads the format
(a "test harness") can run the tests. The most popular of these is the
prove(1) utility that comes with Perl. It can run tests in parallel,
display colored output, format the output to console, file, HTML etc.,
and much more. An example:
$ prove ./t0005-signals.sh
./t0005-signals.sh .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.03 usr 0.00 sys + 0.01 cusr 0.02 csys = 0.06 CPU)
Result: PASS
prove(1) gives you human readable output without being too
verbose. Running the test suite in parallel with `make test -j15`
produces a flood of text. Running them with `prove -j 15 ./t[0-9]*.sh`
makes it easy to follow what's going on.
All this patch does is re-arrange the output a bit so that it conforms
with the TAP spec, everything that the test suite did before continues
to work. That includes aggregating results in t/test-results/, the
--verbose, --debug and other options for tests, and the test color
output.
TAP harnesses ignore everything that they don't know about, so running
the tests with --verbose works:
$ prove ./t0005-signals.sh :: --verbose --debug
./t0005-signals.sh .. Terminated
./t0005-signals.sh .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.01 sys + 0.01 cusr 0.01 csys = 0.05 CPU)
Result: PASS
Just supply the -v option to prove itself to get all the verbose
output that it suppresses:
$ prove -v ./t0005-signals.sh :: --verbose --debug
./t0005-signals.sh ..

+Since the tests all output TAP (see http://testanything.org) they can
+be run with any TAP harness. Here's an example of paralell testing
+powered by a recent version of prove(1):
+
+ $ prove --timer --jobs 15 ./t[0-9]*.sh
+ [19:17:33] ./t0005-signals.sh ................................... ok 36 ms
+ [19:17:33] ./t0022-crlf-rename.sh ............................... ok 69 ms
+ [19:17:33] ./t0024-crlf-archive.sh .............................. ok 154 ms
+ [19:17:33] ./t0004-unwritable.sh ................................ ok 289 ms
+ [19:17:33] ./t0002-gitfile.sh ................................... ok 480 ms
+ ===( 102;0 25/? 6/? 5/? 16/? 1/? 4/? 2/? 1/? 3/? 1... )===
+
+prove and other harnesses come with a lot of useful options. The
+--state option in particular is very useful:
+
+ # Repeat until no more failures
+ $ prove -j 15 --state=failed,save ./t[0-9]*.sh
+
+You can also run each test individually from command line, like this:
+
+ $ sh ./t3010-ls-files-killed-modified.sh
+ ok 1 - git update-index --add to add various paths.
+ ok 2 - git ls-files -k to show killed files.
+ ok 3 - validate git ls-files -k output.
+ ok 4 - git ls-files -m to show modified files.
+ ok 5 - validate git ls-files -m output.
+ # passed all 5 test(s)
+ 1..5
You can pass --verbose (or -v), --debug (or -d), and --immediate
(or -i) command line argument to the test, or by setting GIT_TEST_OPTS
