2010-07-05tests: make tests requiring a delay to pass, more robustPádraig Brady
* tests/init.cfg: Introduce a retry_delay_() function to repeatedly call a test function that requires a delay. This delay can now be shorter for the common case on fast systems, but will double until a configurable limit it reached before failing on slower systems. * tests/dd/reblock: Use retry_delay_. * tests/misc/cat-buf: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/flush-initial: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise. * test/dd/misc: Comment that delay is needed to trigger failure.

2009-10-30tests: factor 350 fail=0 initializations into test-lib.shJim Meyering
Run this command to remove the factored-out "fail=0" lines. perl -ni -e '/^fail=0$/ or print' $(g grep -l '^fail=0$') * tests/test-lib.sh: Initialize fail=0 here, not in 300+ scripts. * tests/...: nearly all bourne shell scripts Suggested by Eric Blake.
2009-09-08tests: address a race condition in misc/cat-bufPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/cat-buf: Increase the delay between writes to decrease the chance that dd will read both at once. Since the test is inherently racy, print a warning via skip_test_ rather than failing outright. Reported by Jim Meyering.
2009-09-07tests: misc/cat-buf: clean up syntaxJim Meyering

2009-03-11cat: Fix immediate output of processed dataPádraig Brady
Introduced by commit 790892db, 2006-06-08 "Ensure that cat works ...". * NEWS: Mention the bugfix. * src/cat.c (cat): Fix the typo which stopped the writing of processed data before a blocking read() is done. * tests/misc/cat-buf: Add to ensure processed data is not buffered. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
