Since the cmake file was made to run on *nix in [1] running the tests with "ctest" broken, because we'd attempt to invoke our bin-wrappers/, but they didn't have the executable bit. In the best case, the "t/test-lib.sh" would be unable to find "bin-wrappers/git", and we'd fall back on "GIT_EXEC_PATH=$GIT_BUILD_DIR" using the fallback behavior added in [2]: $ ./t0001-init.sh <GIT_BUILD_DIR>/t/../contrib/buildsystems/out/bin-wrappers/git is not executable; using GIT_EXEC_PATH This was recently somewhat swept under the rug in [3], as ctest would run them with "--no-bin-wrappers". But still with [3], running e.g.: cmake -S contrib/buildsystems -B contrib/buildsystems/out -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug && make -C contrib/buildsystems/out && ctest --test-dir contrib/buildsystems/out --jobs="$(nproc)" --output-on-failure Fails around 20% of our testts on *nix. So even with [3] we'd fail any test that needed to invoke one of our built shell, perl or Python scripts on *nix. E.g. t0012-help.sh would fail on a test that tried to invoke "git web--browse". The equivalent of this (in the "out" directory) would happen: $ ./git --exec-path=$PWD web--browse git: 'web--browse' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. Which we can fix by "chmod +x"-ing the built "git-web--browse": $ chmod +x git-web--browse $ ./git --exec-path=$PWD web--browse usage: git web--browse [--browser=browser|--tool=browser] [--config=conf.var] url/file ... The same goes for e.g. the "git-p4" tests, which would fail because our built "git-p4" wasn't executable, etc. There's also a few other outstanding issues, which will be fixed in subsequent commits. This change should ideally use file(CHMOD ...), but the "file(CHMOD" feature is much newer than our required cmake version[5]. Before this change: 80% tests passed, 196 tests failed out of 977 After: 99% tests passed, 5 tests failed out of 977 The remaining failures will be addressed in subsequent commits. There was a suggestion of using a function to abstract this away[6], which sounds good. But after spending too long trying to get all combinations of "${content}" and ${content} (unqoted) in the function and its callers working I wasn't able to fix the quoting issues it introduced. A lot of this is duplicated already, we can follow-up at some other time with refactoring, and address any tricky quoting issues in calling function with these parameters then. 1. f31b6244950 (Merge branch 'yw/cmake-updates', 2022-06-07) 2. e4597aae659 (run test suite without dashed git-commands in PATH, 2009-12-02) 3. 2ea1d8b5563 (cmake: make it easier to diagnose regressions in CTest runs, 2022-10-18) 4. a30e4c531d9 (Merge branch 'ss/cmake-build', 2020-08-11) 5. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/file.html#chmod 6. https://lore.kernel.org/git/0fda0e54-0432-7690-74a7-3d1a59923e0c@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> --- contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt b/contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt index 4db4997ff0c..1ae6832dc26 100644 --- a/contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/contrib/buildsystems/CMakeLists.txt @@ -864,6 +864,7 @@ foreach(script ${git_shell_scripts}) string(REPLACE "@@PERL@@" "${PERL_PATH}" content "${content}") string(REPLACE "@@PAGER_ENV@@" "LESS=FRX LV=-c" content "${content}") file(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${script} ${content}) + execute_process(COMMAND chmod +x ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${script}) endforeach() #perl scripts @@ -879,12 +880,14 @@ foreach(script ${git_perl_scripts}) string(REPLACE "#!/usr/bin/perl" "#!/usr/bin/perl\n${perl_header}\n" content "${content}") string(REPLACE "@@GIT_VERSION@@" "${PROJECT_VERSION}" content "${content}") file(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${script} ${content}) + execute_process(COMMAND chmod +x ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${script}) endforeach() #python script file(STRINGS ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/git-p4.py content NEWLINE_CONSUME) string(REPLACE "#!/usr/bin/env python" "#!/usr/bin/python" content "${content}") file(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/git-p4 ${content}) +execute_process(COMMAND chmod +x ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/git-p4) #perl modules file(GLOB_RECURSE perl_modules "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/perl/*.pm") @@ -1023,6 +1026,7 @@ foreach(script ${wrapper_scripts}) string(REPLACE "@@BUILD_DIR@@" "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}" content "${content}") string(REPLACE "@@PROG@@" "${script}${EXE_EXTENSION}" content "${content}") file(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin-wrappers/${script} ${content}) + execute_process(COMMAND chmod +x ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin-wrappers/${script}) endforeach() foreach(script ${wrapper_test_scripts}) @@ -1030,12 +1034,14 @@ foreach(script ${wrapper_test_scripts}) string(REPLACE "@@BUILD_DIR@@" "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}" content "${content}") string(REPLACE "@@PROG@@" "t/helper/${script}${EXE_EXTENSION}" content "${content}") file(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin-wrappers/${script} ${content}) + execute_process(COMMAND chmod +x ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin-wrappers/${script}) endforeach() file(STRINGS ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/wrap-for-bin.sh content NEWLINE_CONSUME) string(REPLACE "@@BUILD_DIR@@" "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}" content "${content}") string(REPLACE "@@PROG@@" "git-cvsserver" content "${content}") file(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin-wrappers/git-cvsserver ${content}) +execute_process(COMMAND chmod +x ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin-wrappers/git-cvsserver) #options for configuring test options option(PERL_TESTS "Perform tests that use perl" ON) -- 2.38.0.1250.ge066ede4da3
