2012-08-06tests: printf-surprise: avoid unwarranted failure on FreeBSD 9.0Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/printf-surprise: A VM size of 10,000KiB was too little in which to run "env printf ..." on FreeBSD 9.0-p3. Increase it to 15,000.
2012-07-23tests: add a test for a previously fixed output format bug in joinPádraig Brady
Add a test and NEWS entry for a bug inadvertently fixed in a refactoring in commit v8.9-32-gd4db0cb * tests/misc/join (v2-format): Add a new test. * THANKS.in: Add the reporter. * NEWS: Mention the old bug. * cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Update. Reported-by: Jean-Pierre Tosoni
2012-07-16maint: move two df tests from tests/misc to tests/dfPádraig Brady
* test/Makefile.am: Reference the moved tests.
2012-07-06tests: sort-merge-fdlimit: reduce the limit by onePádraig Brady
* tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: As a consequence of commit v8.17-34-g59daf05, we can reduce the descriptor limit by one.
2012-07-04date: fails to diagnose invalid inputJim Meyering
date -d "$(printf '\xb0')" would print 00:00:00 with today's date rather than diagnosing the invalid input. Now it reports this: date: invalid date '\260' * gnulib: Update submodule to latest for fixed parse-datetime.y. * tests/misc/date [invalid-high-bit-set]: New test. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * bootstrap, tests/init.sh: Also update to latest. Reported by Peter Evans in http://bugs.gnu.org/11843
2012-07-02sort: avoid redundant processing with inaccessible inputs or outputPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c (check_inputs): A new function to verify all inputs are accessible before further processing. (check_output): A new function to open or create a specified output file, before futher processing. (stream_open): Adjust to truncating the previously opened output file rather than opening directly. (avoid_trashing_input): Optimize to stat the output file descriptor, rather than the file name. (main): Call the new functions to check accessibility of inputs and output, before processing starts. * tests/misc/sort: Adjust to the changed error message. * tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: Account for the earlier opened file descriptor of the specified output file. * tests/misc/sort-exit-early: A new test to exercise the improvements. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. Suggested-by: Bernhard Voelker
2012-06-10maint: remove su testing artifactSami Kerola
* tests/misc/help-version: Remove expected su exit code.
2012-06-10build: update gnulib to latest; correct comment grammarJim Meyering
* tests/misc/help-version: Fix comment grammar: s/all these/all of these/ * gl/lib/tempname.c.diff: Likewise.
2012-06-06su: remove program (util-linux is now the best source for it)Jim Meyering
* README: Omit "su" from list of programs. * src/su.c: Remove file. * src/Makefile.am: Remove su-related rules and variables. * tests/misc/su-fail: Remove test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove misc/su-fail. * tests/misc/invalid-opt: Remove su-related code. * src/.gitignore: Remove su. * man/su.x: Remove file. * man/Makefile.am (su.1): Remove rule. * po/POTFILES.in: Remove su.c from the list. * TODO: Remove ancient entry. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it. * doc/coreutils.texi: Remove su-related description. * AUTHORS: Remove su. * m4/lib-check.m4 (cu_LIB_CHECK): Remove file/macro. * configure.ac: Remove su-related code and sole use of cu_LIB_CHECK. * scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Remove su from this list, too.
2012-06-05head: with --lines=-N (-n-N) reset file pointer on seekable inputJim Meyering
* src/head.c (elide_tail_lines_seekable): Reset file pointer after printing up to an end-relative line-counted offset. Anoop Sharma reported the problem and suggested the fix. * tests/misc/head-pos: Add coverage via a very similar, existing test. Also add coverage for a previously untested block of code. * tests/misc/head-elide-tail ($READ_BUFSIZE): Update to 8192, to match the value of BUFSIZ I see today on Fedora 17/x86_64 (unrelated to this fix). * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Improved-by: Pádraig Brady
2012-05-31maint: fix typos in test comments and old ChangeLog filesJim Meyering
Culprits identified and fixed automatically using these commands: git ls-files|misspellings -f -|perl -nl \ -e '/^(.*?)\[(\d+)\]: (\w+) -> "(.*?)"$/ or next;' \ -e '($file,$n,$l,$r)=($1,$2,$3,$4); $q="'\''"; $r=~s/$q/$q\\$q$q/g;'\ -e 'print "sed -i $q${n}s!$l!$r!$q $file"' | bash using http://github.com/lyda/misspell-check * old/fileutils/ChangeLog: Fix typos. * old/textutils/ChangeLog: Likewise. * tests/misc/truncate-fail-diag: Likewise.
2012-05-16tests: use $AWK, not awkJim Meyering
* tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Don't hard-code "awk". Use $AWK. * tests/init.cfg: Likewise. * tests/misc/sort-rand: Likewise.
2012-05-10tests: misc/tty-eof: increase timeout to avoid unwarranted failureJim Meyering
* tests/misc/tty-eof: Increase timeout from 1s to 10s, to avoid unwarranted failure under heavy load. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Move misc/tty-eof "up" to nearer the beginning of the list (from near the middle) so that it is started earlier in parallel test runs. Otherwise, it would frequently be among the last two tests to complete.
2012-05-10maint: handle file sizes more reliablyPaul Eggert
Problem reported by Samuel Thibault in <http://bugs.gnu.org/11424>. * NEWS: Document this. * src/dd.c (skip): Handle skipping past EOF on shared or typed memory objects the same way as with regular files. (dd_copy): It's OK to truncate shared memory objects. * src/du.c (duinfo_add): Check for overflow. (print_only_size): Report overflow. (process_file): Ignore negative file sizes in the --apparent-size case. * src/od.c (skip): Fix comment about st_size. * src/split.c (main): * src/truncate.c (do_ftruncate, main): On files where st_size is not portable, fall back on using lseek with SEEK_END to determine the size. Although strictly speaking POSIX says the behavior is implementation-defined, in practice if lseek returns a nonnegative value it's a reasonable one to use for the file size. * src/system.h (usable_st_size): Symlinks have reliable st_size too. * tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Don't assume that getting the size of a dir is not allowed, as it's now allowed on many platforms, e.g., GNU/Linux.
2012-05-08maint: fix common spelling errorsKevin Lyda
These were identified using: https://github.com/lyda/misspell-check executed like: git ls-files | misspellings -f - * src/cat.c: Correct a spelling error. * src/comm.c: Likewise. * src/expr.c: Likewise. * src/pr.c: Likewise. * src/tac.c: Likewise. * src/test.c: Likewise. * src/ChangeLog-2005: Likewise. * src/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise. * src/NEWS: Likewise. * src/doc/coreutils.texi: Likewise. * src/lib/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise. * src/man/help2man: Likewise. * src/old/fileutils/ChangeLog-1997: Likewise. * src/old/fileutils/NEWS: Likewise. * src/old/sh-utils/ChangeLog.0: Likewise. * src/old/textutils/ChangeLog: Likewise. * src/tests/misc/comm: Likewise. * src/tests/misc/uniq: Likewise. * src/tests/mv/dir2dir: Likewise. * src/cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): update with `make update-NEWS-hash`
2012-04-27id,groups: with no user name, print only real and/or effective IDs,Jim Meyering
... i.e., don't use the getpw* functions. Before this change, running groups or id with no user name argument would include a group name or ID from /etc/passwd. Thus, under unusual circumstances (default group is changed, but has not taken effect for a given session), those programs could print a name or ID that is neither real nor effective. To demonstrate, run this: echo 'for i in 1 2; do id -G; sleep 1.5; done' \ |su -s /bin/sh ftp - & sleep 1; perl -pi -e 's/^(ftp:x:\d+):(\d+)/$1:9876/' /etc/passwd Those id -G commands printed the following: 50 50 9876 With this change, they print this: 50 50 Similarly, running those programs set-GID could make them print one ID too many. * src/group-list.c (print_group_list): When username is NULL, pass egid, not getpwuid(ruid)->pw_gid), to xgetgroups, per the API requirements of xgetgroups callee, mgetgroups. When not using the password database, don't call getpwuid. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. * tests/misc/id-setgid: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. (root_tests): It's a root-only test, so add it here, too. Originally reported by Brynnen Owen as http://bugs.gnu.org/7320. Raised again by Marc Mengel in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/816708.
2012-04-19tests: factor out expensive "pairs" code of misc/sttyBernhard Voelker
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/stty-pairs. * tests/init.cfg (stty_reversible_init_): New function. (stty_reversible_query_): New function. * tests/misc/stty: Factor out expensive "pairs" code into new test. Use new stty_reversible_* functions instead of evaluating static REV_* variables. * tests/misc/stty-pairs: Add new test. Code added from misc/stty. Mark this as an expensive test. Skip 'parenb' and 'cread' options, as these tests are known to fail. Like in misc/stty, also use the new stty_reversible_* functions.
2012-04-19tests: add iutf8 option to misc/sttyBernhard Voelker
* tests/misc/stty: Add iutf8 to the list of REV_* options. That option has been implemented in commit v5.2.1-193-g733e79e.
2012-04-12fmt: accept new --goal=WIDTH (-g) optionBruce Korb
Accept -g for BSD/Plan9 compatibility. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * tests/fmt/goal-option: New test. * tests/fmt/long-line: Rename from tests/fmt-long-line. * tests/fmt/base: Rename from tests/misc/fmt. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document it. * src/fmt.c (main): Accept the new option (check_for_goals): new function to implement the operands Based on BSD's and Plan-9's fmt programs.
2012-04-04tests: avoid unnecessary subshells in misc/sttyAndreas Schwab
* tests/misc/stty: Don't waste a subshell to perform this: eval rev=\$REV_$opt. Fix rev1,rev2 assignments similarly.
2012-04-04tests: correct reversed args to "compare"Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-discrim: Correct reversed args to "compare". This nit was masked by a bug in maint.mk that effectively disabled many of the syntax-check rules.
2012-04-04tests: remove nearly all remaining backticksJim Meyering
* tests/rm/isatty: Remove now-unneeded "# `" line. * tests/misc/ls-time: Likewise. * tests/misc/date-sec: Remove stray "`" in comment. * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-symlink: Replace multi-line `...` by $(...). * tests/mv/sticky-to-xpart: Likewise. * tests/rm/fail-2eperm: Likewise. * tests/ls/nameless-uid: Likewise. * tests/cp/perm: Likewise. * tests/cp/preserve-gid: Likewise. * tests/cp/same-file: Likewise.
2012-04-04tests: use perl's qx!...! rather than `...`Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/expr: As above. * tests/misc/ls-misc: Likewise. * tests/misc/pwd-long: Likewise. * tests/misc/uniq: Likewise.
2012-04-04tests: convert nearly all `...` expressions to $(...)Jim Meyering
Exempt init.sh because it runs before we're assured to have a shell that groks $(...). Exempt *.mk because "$" would have to be doubled, and besides, any `...` expression in a .mk file is almost certainly evaluated before init.sh is run. Finally, also exempt the perl-based tests, because perl's `...` cannot be converted to $(...). Do that by running this command: git grep -l '`.*`' tests \ | grep -Ev 'init\.sh|\.mk$' | xargs grep -Lw perl \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/`(.*?)`/\$($1)/g' One minor fix-up change was required after that, due to how quoting differs: diff --git a/tests/chmod/equals b/tests/chmod/equals - expected_perms=$(eval 'echo \$expected_'$dest) + expected_perms=$(eval 'echo $expected_'$dest) Another was to make these required quoting adjustments: diff --git a/tests/misc/stty b/tests/misc/stty ... - rev=$(eval echo "\\\$REV_$opt") + rev=$(eval echo "\$REV_$opt") ... - rev1=$(eval echo "\\\$REV_$opt1") - rev2=$(eval echo "\\\$REV_$opt2") + rev1=$(eval echo "\$REV_$opt1") + rev2=$(eval echo "\$REV_$opt2") Also, transform two files that were needlessly excluded above: (both use perl, but are mostly bourne shell) perl -pi -e 's/`(.*?)`/\$($1)/g' \ tests/du/long-from-unreadable tests/init.cfg
2012-04-03tests: fix quoting bug in misc/nohupJim Meyering
* tests/misc/nohup: Fix invalid quoting.
2012-04-03tests: avoid spurious misc/expr failure on AIX 6.1Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/expr: Avoid spurious failure on AIX 6.1 due to differing regexp diagnostic. Reported by Michael Felt.
2012-03-26tests: remove temporary skip for sort-stale-thread-mem failureJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Invoke framework_failure_, now, hoping that valgrind is fixed (or we add exclusions) before the next release.
2012-03-26tests: work around F17-valgrind sort-stale-thread-mem failureJim Meyering
* tests/misc/sort-stale-thread-mem: Skip upon known failure.
2012-03-20tests: avoid spurious misc/factor failure on OpenBSD 5.1Jim Meyering
* tests/misc/factor: Map OpenBSD 5.1's "unknown option" to our expected "invalid option". Reported by Bruno Haible.
2012-03-17tests: fix sort-discrim to work without GMPPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/sort-discrim: The expr limit is intmax_t without GMP.
2012-03-16tests: avoid an ls-time false positive on Solaris 10Pádraig Brady
* tests/misc/ls-time: Force a ctime update as updating the atime doesn't update ctime on tmpfs on Solaris 10.
2012-03-15realpath: let --relative-to default to --relative-baseEric Blake
Most of the time, if someone wants to filter which paths are relative while leaving all others absolute, they also want to to the filtering based on the same --relative-to directory. Make this easier to specify. * src/realpath.c (main): Convert error to default. * doc/coreutils.texi (realpath invocation): Document this. * tests/misc/realpath: Adjust test to match. * NEWS: Document it.
2012-03-15tests: cover more realpath scenariosEric Blake
'realpath --relative-base --relative-to' is identical to --relative-base=--relative-to, so the test wasn't covering what it claimed. Expose recent fixes for handling of // on systems where // is distinct, and for --relative-base=/. Add test that exposes our design decision that --relative-base that is not a prefix of --relative-to is a no-op (if we later change behavior, we will also have to change that part of the test). * tests/misc/realpath: Fix typo. Add some tests.
2012-03-14test: expose recent gnulib canonicalize bugEric Blake
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-02/msg00038.html detailed a couple of bugs in gnulib's canonicalize that were visible through coreutils' readlink, but only on systems where // is distinct from /. This particular test assumes the POSIX fix which requires canonicalization of a symlink containing just slashes to behave as if slashes separating the symlink from the rest of the name are elided (see http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=541), as that is the only useful (and current) behavior on Cygwin. That is, ln -s / root ls root/dev must list the contents of /dev, not //dev. * tests/misc/readlink-root: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run it.
2012-03-13tests: new discriminator-based test for sort -n and -hPaul Eggert
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add misc/sort-discrim. * tests/misc/sort-discrim: New file, which tests a discriminator-based implementation of 'sort'. Coreutils doesn't use this implementation yet, but the test is useful anyway. Co-authored-by: Drew Kutilek <dkutilek@ucla.edu> Co-authored-by: James Wendt <jwendt@cs.ucla.edu>
2012-03-10dirname: support more than one argumentJérémy Compostella
* src/dirname.c (main): Handle new -z option and manage more than one argument. * doc/coreutils.texi (dirname invocation): Mention it. * NEWS (New features): Mention it. * tests/misc/dirname: Add a two arguments test.
2012-03-07basename: support more than one argumentJérémy Compostella
* src/basename.c (perform_basename): New function refactored from main() that performs the basename work on a STRING, optionally removes a trailing SUFFIX and outputs the result. (main): Handle new options. * doc/coreutils.texi (basename invocation): Mention new options. * test/misc/basename: Add new options test cases. * NEWS (New features): Mention it.
2012-02-26tests: fix help-version on cygwin, where $EXEEXT is nonemptyJim Meyering
* tests/misc/help-version: Remove the $EXEEXT suffix from each program name before comparing with a literal.
2012-01-27maint: use single copyright year rangeJim Meyering
Run "make update-copyright".
2012-01-25maint: cleanup an extraneous version output in a testPádraig Brady
* test/misc/stdbuf: Fixup the minor copy & paste issue introduced in commit ff7f0ff8
2012-01-25realpath: remove extraneous '/' for --relative-to edge casesPádraig Brady
* src/realpath.c (path_common_prefix): Be consistent and always include a leading '/' in the count returned. (relpath): Account for the change in path_common_prefix() and avoid outputting extra '/' chars in relative paths that span the root dir. * tests/misc/realpath: Add the two reported cases. Reported by Mike Frysinger
2012-01-09maint: adjust quoting: emit '...', not `...' in diagnosticsJim Meyering
* src/csplit.c (parse_repeat_count, extract_regexp): As above. * src/date.c (main): Likewise. * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Likewise. * src/od.c (decode_one_format, main): Likewise. * src/pathchk.c (no_leading_hyphen): Likewise. * src/pr.c (main, getoptarg): Likewise. * src/rm.c (diagnose_leading_hyphen): Likewise. * src/sort.c (key_warnings, incompatible_options, main): Likewise. * src/stat.c (print_esc_char): Print '\x', not `\x' in diagnostic. * src/test.c (main): Likewise. * src/touch.c (main): Likewise. * src/tr.c (build_spec_list, validate, append_range): Likewise. * tests/misc/mktemp: This is an unusual case, since the affected string contains only the ` of an `...' string. So we change the long ` to a lone '. * tests/pr/pr-tests: Manual quote adapting fix-up. * tests/ln/hard-to-sym: Likewise. * tests/split/suffix-length: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-fail: Likewise. * tests/misc/chcon: Likewise. * tests/misc/stat-printf: Likewise.
2012-01-09tests: more automated quote adjustmentJim Meyering
Relax initial regexp to match more instances, but add a filter to avoid some invalid conversions. Run this: git grep -l "\`[^']*'" tests | xargs perl -pi -e '$q=q"'\''";' \ -e '$q="$q\\$q$q"; /(= ?\`|\`expr|\`echo|\Q$q\E)/ and next;' \ -e ' s/\`([^'\''"]*?'\'')/'\''$1/g' The last disjunct in the above (...) filter is to exempt any line that contains this string: '\'' With quoting like that, converting a ` to ' is likely to cause trouble, so we'll handle those manually. Here are three examples where the exemption is required: *': `link-to-dir/'\'': hard link not allowed for directory'*) ;; printf 'creating file `%s'\''\n' $f 'mv: inter-device move failed: `%s'\'' to `%s'\'';'\
2012-01-09tests: change `...' to '...' on lines not matching /[=\$]/Jim Meyering
Exempt lines with '$' or '=', since those are prone to improper conversion. Run this: git grep -l "\`[^']*'" tests \ |xargs perl -pi -e '/[=\$]/ and next;s/\`([^'\''"]*?'\'')/'\''$1/g'
2012-01-09tests: adjust \`...' quoting to '...' to adapt to latest gnulibJim Meyering
Run this: git grep -l "\\\\\`[^']*'" tests \ |xargs perl -pi -e 's/\\\`(.*?'\'')/'\''$1/g
2012-01-07maint: update quoting of "Try `prog --help'" to "Try 'prog --help'"Jim Meyering
Automatically adjust both the source (now in only one place) and all tests that expect the resulting output via this: git grep -l 'Try.*--help' src/system.h tests \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/Try \\?`(\S+ --help)/Try '\''$1/'
2012-01-06tests: adjust quoting in expected output to match new gnulib policyJim Meyering
* tests/misc/xstrtol: Use '...' to match new quoting in most places. However, leave `9x' to match the sole comparison against output from the quote function, which still uses `...'. * tests/misc/sort-merge: Likewise, though here I had to leave `...'-quoted output to match output from four tests. * tests/pr/pr-tests: Convert a single `...' to '...'. * gnulib: Update submodule to latest.
2012-01-05tests: avoid stty icanon issues on some platformsPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/stty: Exclude 'icanon' for the list to check, as it's problematic on ppc*|sparc* platforms.
2012-01-05tests: avoid ulimit issue on bash 3.2 on OS XPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/sort-continue: Perform the glob before the ulimit, as it was seen to make the glob fail on bash 3.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 at least.
2012-01-05tests: avoid a false positive due to overflow on Linux/HPPAPádraig Brady
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Verify that the timer doesn't fire immediately in the problematic range, and avoid overflow checks in that case. * man/timeout.x: Mention the possible bug. Reported by Bruno Haible
