This is the remaining set of changes after which the test suite passes with the MinGW port. Well, almost: There still are a few failures, but none of them indicate a serious bug. We will address them later. The series is again available from here: git://repo.or.cz/git/mingw/j6t.git for-junio It builds on js/windows-tests (a8cbc9ab). The heart of this series is an addition to the test infrastructure: Tests can be tagged by a keyword, which indicates that a particular feature ("prerequisite") is needed. This idea was presented by Junio some time ago, but I didn't save away the implementation. The new features are used in this way: 1. The prerequisite is tested for and the tag is defined: if frob --mode=nicate 2>/dev/null; then test_set_prereq FROBNICATE else say "frobnication not possible, skipping some tests fi 2. Tests are tagged by the tag name: test_expect_success FROBNICATE 'frobnication' ' frob --mode=nicate ' Such a test is skipped if the tag was not defined before. 3. The prerequisite can also be tested for explicitly: if test_have_prereq FROBNICATE; then expect=foo else expect=bar fi I have considered a different approach to define prerequisites, namely with a helper function that is similar to test_expect_*: test_prereq FROBNICATE 'frobnication' ' frob --mode=nicate 2>/dev/null ' but I find it a bit obfuscating. Currently most prerequisites are tested for on demand. Symbolic links are tested for in test-lib.sh because so many test scripts need it. An option would be to move each test in its own file that would then be sourced on demand.
