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.
