[RFC PATCH v2 0/6] test-tool: add unit test suite runner

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

 



Please note: this series has been rebased onto jk/unit-tests-buildfix.

For various reasons (see discussion at [1]) we would like an alternative
to `prove` for running test suites (including the unit tests) on
Windows.

This series extends the existing `test-tool run-command testsuite` to
support running unit tests. In addition, it includes some small
cleanups:
* move t-basic out of the unit-tests directory
* don't hardcode the shell for running tests in `test-tool ... testsuite`
* don't hardcode a test name filter in `test-tool ... testsuite`
* add a test wrapper script to allow unit tests and the shell test suite
  to run in a single `prove` process

Some known remaining bits of work:
* We should investigate switching the Windows CI to use `test-tool`
  instead of prove. However, Windows CI seems broken on
  jk/unit-tests-buildfix, and I haven't had time to determine why.
* We should determine whether it is confusing or otherwise harmful to
  people's workflow to have the unit tests run in parallel with shell
  tests when using prove as the default test target.

Changes in V2:
* Patch 1: move t-basic to a test-tool subcommand rather than a new
  executable under t/t0080/
* New patch 2: get the shell path from TEST_SHELL_PATH in
  `test-tool run-command testsuite`
* New patch 3: remove the hardcoded filename filter in
  `test-tool run-command testsuite`
* Patch 4 (previously 2): simplified now that we no longer need to add
  any command-line flags to support unit tests
* Patch 5 (previously 3): avoid trying to run cmake *.pdb files by using
  the unit test list built in the makefile in jk/unit-tests-buildfix.

         Teach the testsuite runner in `test-tool run-command testsuite` how to
    -    run unit tests, by adding two new flags:
    +    run unit tests: if TEST_SHELL_PATH is not set, assume that we're running
    +    the programs directly from CWD, rather than defaulting to "sh" as an
    +    interpreter.
     
    -    First, "--(no-)run-in-shell" allows the test-tool to exec the unit-test
    -    binaries directly, rather than trying to interpret them as shell
    -    scripts.
    -
    -    Second "--(no-)require-shell-test-pattern" bypasses the check that the
    -    test filenames match the expected t####-*.sh pattern.
    -
    -    With these changes, you can now use test-tool to run the unit tests:
    +    With this change, you can now use test-tool to run the unit tests:
         $ make
         $ cd t/unit-tests/bin
    -    $ ../../helper/test-tool run-command testsuite --no-run-in-shell \
    -        --no-require-shell-test-pattern
    +    $ ../../helper/test-tool run-command testsuite
     
         This should be helpful on Windows to allow running tests without
         requiring Perl (for `prove`), as discussed in [1] and [2].
     
    +    This again breaks backwards compatibility, as it is now required to set
    +    TEST_SHELL_PATH properly for executing shell scripts, but again, as
    +    noted in [2], there are no longer any such invocations in our codebase.
