2013-04-25tests: fix usage of require_ulimit_Pádraig Brady
* init.cfg (require_ulimit_v_): Renamed from require_ulimit_ as this only checks for ulimit -v support. Other uses of ulimit -t and ulimit -n in tests shouldn't cause false failures if not supported. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_ulimit_without_require_): A new syntax check to ensure that require_ulimit_v_() is used iff required. * tests/misc/head-c.sh: Add missing call to require_ulimit_v_. * tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM.sh: Likewise. * tests/split/r-chunk.sh: Remove non mandatory require_ulimit_ call. * tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit.sh: Likewise. * tests/cp/link-heap.sh: Adjust to renamed require_ulimit_v_. * tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/csplit-heap.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/cut-huge-to-eol-range.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/printf-surprise.sh: Likewise.
2013-04-20tail: let -f --retry wait for inaccessible filesBernhard Voelker
The --retry option is indeed useful for both following modes by name and by file descriptor. The difference is that in the latter case, it is effective only during the initial open. As a regression of the implementation of the inotify support, tail -f --retry would immediately exit if the given file is inaccessible. * src/tail.c (usage): Change the description of the --retry option: remove the note that this option would mainly be useful when following by name. (main): Change diagnosing dubios uses of --retry option: when the --retry option is used without following, then issue a warning that this option is ignored; when it is used together with --follow=descriptor, then issue a warning that it is only effective for the initial open. Disable inotify also in the case when the initial open in tail_file() failed (which is the actual bug fix). * init.cfg (retry_delay_): Pass excess arguments to the test function. * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Add new tests. * tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Enhance the documentation of the --retry option. Clarify the difference in tail's behavior regarding the --retry option when combined with the following modes name versus descriptor. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the fix.

2013-04-14tests: avoid false failures with non default groupsPádraig Brady
On OS X it was seen that the group ID used for new files, are set to a that of the directory rather than the current user. It's not currently understood when this happens, but it was confirmed that ACLs, extended attributes and setgid bits are _not_ involved. * init.cfg (skip_if_nondefault_group_): A new function to detect and avoid this situation. Document with links to the discussions for hopefully future clarification. * tests/install/install-C-root.sh: Use the new function. * tests/install/install-C-selinux.sh: Likewise. * tests/install/install-C.sh: Likewise.
2013-04-04tests: avoid shared lib tests on unsupported platformsPádraig Brady
* init.cfg (require_gcc_shared_): A new function to check that we can build shared libraries in the particular manner we use in our tests. * tests/cp/nfs-removal-race.sh: Use require_gcc_shared_. Then fail rather than skip, if the actual shared lib build fails. * tests/df/no-mtab-status.sh: Likewise. * tests/df/skip-duplicates.sh: Likewise. * tests/ls/getxattr-speedup.sh: Likewise. Reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/14024
2013-01-01maint: update all copyright year number rangesJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this, perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
2012-12-21tests: avoid false positive valgrind failuresPádraig Brady
* init.cfg (require_valgrind_): Check the `true` program, which will check more valgrind failure cases as now detailed in the function comments.
2012-11-01tests: fix syntax error in setuidgid_has_perm_Bernhard Voelker
An invalid sed expression lead to the following error: + sed -n 'ls/.* //p' sed: -e expression #1, char 2: extra characters after command Use "one" instead of "el". Bug introduced in v8.19-111-g51a4b04. * init.cfg (setuidgid_has_perm_): s/ls/1s/. * NEWS (Build-related): Mention the fix.
2012-09-07tests: improve checks for setuidgid-using root-only testsJim Meyering
* init.cfg (setuidgid_has_perm_): New function. (require_root_): Use it. Improved-by: Bernhard Voelker * NEWS (Build-related): Mention the improvement.
2012-09-05tests: more resilient about tainted absolute srcdir pathStefano Lattarini
* tests/init.cfg (stty_reversible_init_): Quote '$abs_top_srcdir' properly. (fiemap_capable_): Quote '$abs_srcdir' properly. (require_dirent_d_type_): Likewise.
2012-09-05build: don't use recursive make for tests/ subdirectoryStefano Lattarini
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove 'tests'. (include): The '$(top_srcdir)/tests/local.mk' file. (check-root): Remove this convenience target, it's no longer needed now that the "real" check-root target once in 'tests/Makefile' will land in the top-level makefile. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove 'tests/Makefile'. * tests/Makefile.am: Rename ... * tests/local.mk: ... like this, with a lot of adjustments. * tests/init.cfg: Move ... * init.cfg: ... here. This is necessary, for a limitation of the gnulib-provided 'tests/init.sh', which unconditionally look for 'init.cfg' in the $(srcdir) directory. * tests/*/*.sh: Adjust: expect init.sh to be in '$srcdir/tests', not in '$srcdir', and extend $PATH with './src', not with '../src'. * tests/Coreutils.pm: Adjust similarly. * tests/pr/pr-tests.pl ($pfx): Likewise.
