Hi,
I noticed failures from the contrib/credential/netrc tests
while building 2.18.0 release candidates. I was surprised
to see the tests being run when called with a simple 'make'
command.
The first patch in the series adds an empty 'all::' make
target to match most of our other Makefiles and avoid the
surprise of running tests by default. (When the netrc
helper was added to the fedora builds, it copied the same
'make -C contrib/credential/...' pattern from other
credential helpers -- despite the lack of anything to
build.)
The actual test failures were initially due to my build
environment lacking the perl autodie module, which was added
in 786ef50a23 ("git-credential-netrc: accept gpg option",
2018-05-12).
After installing the autodie module, the failures were due
to the build environment lacking a git install (specifically
the perl Git module). The tests needing a pre-installed
perl Git seemed odd and worth fixing.
The second patch in the series aims to fix this. I'm not
sure if there's a better or more preferable way to fix this,
which is one of the reasons for the RFC tag. (It's also why
I added you to the Cc Ævar, as you're one of the
knowledgeable perl folks here.)
The other reason for the RFC tag is that I'm unsure of how
to fix the last issue I found. The tests exit cleanly even
when there are failures, which seems undesirable. I'm not
familiar with the perl test_external framework to suggest a
fix in patch form. It might be a matter of adding something
like this, from t/t9700/test.pl:
my $is_passing = eval { Test::More->is_passing };
exit($is_passing ? 0 : 1) unless $@ =~ /Can't locate object method/;
? But that's a wild guess which I haven't tested.
Here's the output from 'make test' showing that most tests
fail and we still get a clean exit status:
$ make -C contrib/credential/netrc test ; echo "netrc test exit status: $?"
