I'm working on updating the test in t7900-maintenance.sh, but I might be missing something here: >test_expect_success 'start and stop Linux/systemd maintenance' ' > write_script print-args <<-\EOF && > printf "%s\n" "$*" >>args > EOF > > XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$PWD" && > export XDG_CONFIG_HOME && > rm -f args && > GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER="systemctl:./print-args" git maintenance start --scheduler=systemd-timer && Do I understand correctly that this means we're not actually running systemctl here, just printing the arguments to our file ? > # start registers the repo > git config --get --global --fixed-value maintenance.repo "$(pwd)" && > > for schedule in hourly daily weekly > do > test_path_is_file "systemd/user/git-maintenance@$schedule.timer" || return 1 > done && > test_path_is_file "systemd/user/git-maintenance@.service" && > > test_systemd_analyze_verify "systemd/user/git-maintenance@hourly.service" && > test_systemd_analyze_verify "systemd/user/git-maintenance@daily.service" && > test_systemd_analyze_verify "systemd/user/git-maintenance@weekly.service" && > > printf -- "--user enable --now git-maintenance@%s.timer\n" hourly daily weekly >expect && > test_cmp expect args && > > rm -f args && > GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER="systemctl:./print-args" git maintenance stop && > > # stop does not unregister the repo > git config --get --global --fixed-value maintenance.repo "$(pwd)" && > > for schedule in hourly daily weekly > do > test_path_is_missing "systemd/user/git-maintenance@$schedule.timer" || return 1 > done && > test_path_is_missing "systemd/user/git-maintenance@.service" && > > printf -- "--user disable --now git-maintenance@%s.timer\n" hourly daily weekly >expect && > test_cmp expect args The rest of the systemd tests only check that the service file are in XDG_CONFIG_HOME, which should not be the case anymore. However, the test does not actually check we have enabled and started the timers as it is , right ? Should I add that ? I'm not sure how, because it does not seem like the tests run in a isolated env, so it would mess with the systemd user manager of the developper running the tests... Regarding systemd-analyze verify, do the tests have access to the source directory in a special way, or is using '../..' enough ? Thanks -- Max Gautier
