[PATCH v3 5/6] test-terminal: introduce --no-stdin-pty

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

 



In 18d8c26930 (test_terminal: redirect child process' stdin to a pty,
2015-08-04), t/test-terminal.perl learned to connect the child process'
stdin to a pty.  It works well for what was intended: satisfying an
`isatty(STDIN_FILENO)` check.

However, the fork introduced in 18d8c26930, that copies the stdin to the
child process, does not always manage to transmit all the input data.

To illustrate this behavior, we can use a function like this:

    send_data ()
    {
    	dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=10000 status=none |
    	t/test-terminal.perl cat - 2>/dev/null |
    	wc -c;
    }

We do not obtain the expected results when executing this function
100 times:

    $ for i in $(seq 100); do send_data; done | sort | uniq -c
         36 0
          4 1
         53 4095
          7 4159

None of the executions have successfully transmitted the full data.

If we do the same with a version of t/test-terminal.perl that does not
redirect stdin, a version prior to 18d8c26930, the expected result is
obtained:

    $ git checkout 18d8c26930~1
    $ for i in $(seq 100); do send_data; done | sort | uniq -c
        100 10000

In a subsequent commit, we'll introduce a new test that depends on
t/test-terminate.perl.  This test does not require stdin to be connected
to a terminal; however, all data piped into the process must be
successfully transmitted to the child process.

To make this possible, add a new parameter "--no-stdin-pty" to allow
disabling the stdin redirection though a pty.
