[PATCH 00/10] Hash-independent tests (part 3)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is next in the series of improvements to make tests
hash-independent.

Introduced here is a test helper, test_translate, that allows lookups in
tests based on the hash algorithm in use.  Alternatives are either
specified inline (the former for SHA-1, the latter for NewHash), or
(more commonly) from a file based on a key.  Some basic examples of
translations are provided and used throughout the tests.

The ultimate idea is that tests can simply drop a file into the
translation directory and use their own test-specific translations if
convenient.

This series (and subsequent series) attempt to standardize slightly on
our use of invalid object IDs in tests.  Since the actual invalid IDs
aren't usually very important, the translations I've made using the
tables aren't necessarily entirely faithful: we will sometimes use
different SHA-1 object IDs than before, but we substitute only invalid
object IDs for different invalid ones.

It's likely in the future that test_translate will support additional
options depending on whether we want input, output, or internal formats.

I had mentioned in a previous comment that a given test would be
included in "the next series" (this one), but I redid the series and
decided to split it into smaller pieces, so it isn't included.  Sorry.

Comments on any aspect of the series are welcome, but thoughts on design
and naming would be especially valuable.
