Users don't stop doing doing stuff on a filesystem when a single
failure occurs, so why should the tests? If you stop the moment a
single failure occurs then you aren't ever going to stress the error
handling paths, are you?

I'm not talking about shortening lines here. I'm talking about the
correct principles and conceptsi being in the forefront of a test
writer's mind. Having the concept of "need to filter the output" in
the head of test writers is *exactly* the right mindset to have.

Indeed, if you have a block of code that needs common filtering,
that's easy to do:

do_test()
{
        # put test in function
}

do_test | _filter_scratch

Will apply that filter to the entire output of the test, and so
you don't need it on every command.

Remember - an xfstest is not a "pass/fail" test. It's a "run this
set of commands, and then check the entire output matches the known
good output" test. i.e. we are testing the entire set of commands as
a whole - we are not testing each individual command that is run.
It's a very different principle to the "test every command that can
fail" method of writing tests.

_fail should only be used if the test cannot possibly be continued
(e.g. scratch filesystem corrupted and cannot be mounted).  If one
of the early commands fails, then that's fine - the test will fail -
but we still want to run the other commands if we can so as to get
the best test coverage we can get even on failed tests.

Thanks for the detailed explanation Dave, very useful :)

 

Cheers,

Dave.
