In commit 95a1d12e9b9f ("tests: scrub environment of GIT_* variables") all environment variables starting with "GIT_" were unset for the tests using a perl script rather than unsetting them one by one. Only three exceptions were made to make them work as before: "GIT_TRACE*", "GIT_DEBUG*" and "GIT_USE_LOOKUP". Unfortunately some environment variables used by the test framework itself were not added to the exceptions and thus stopped working when given before the make command instead of after it. Those are: - GIT_NOTES_TIMING_TESTS - GIT_PATCHID_TIMING_TESTS - GIT_PROVE_OPTS - GIT_REMOTE_SVN_TEST_BIG_FILES - GIT_SKIP_TESTS - GIT_TEST* - GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS I noticed that when skipping a test the way I was used to suddenly failed: GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t1234' GIT_TEST_OPTS='--root=/dev/shm' make -j10 test This should work according to t/README, but didn't anymore, so let's fix that by adding them to the exception list. And to avoid having a long regexp put the exceptions in a separate variable using nicer formatting.

Agreed, that would be the best solution. But I got sidetracked by this issue while trying to fix something else, so I would rather want to avoid doing the whole exercise myself. So here is v3 of my patch which just makes these variables work again. t/test-lib.sh | 11 ++++++++++- 1 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/test-lib.sh b/t/test-lib.sh index 7cc9a52..7a56f11 100644 --- a/t/test-lib.sh +++ b/t/test-lib.sh @@ -46,7 +46,16 @@ unset VISUAL unset EMAIL unset $(perl -e ' my @env = keys %ENV; - my @vars = grep(/^GIT_/ && !/^GIT_(TRACE|DEBUG|USE_LOOKUP)/, @env); + my $ok = join("|", qw( + TRACE + DEBUG + USE_LOOKUP + TEST + .*_TEST + PROVE + VALGRIND + )); + my @vars = grep(/^GIT_/ && !/^GIT_($ok)/o, @env); print join("\n", @vars); ') GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=author@xxxxxxxxxxx -- 1.7.4.2.407.g50b80.dirty -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
