2011-08-08tests: complete the renaming framework_failure -> framework_failure_Stefano Lattarini
These changes were mostly mechanical, made by running the following command: git grep -lw framework_failure | grep -v ChangeLog \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/\b(framework_failure)\b/${1}_/' and then editing init.cfg and `tests/cp/cp-a-selinux' by hand. * tests/init.cfg (framework_failure): Remove, `framework_failure_' from init.sh should be used instead in the tests. Remove now-obsolete "FIXME" comment. (is_local_dir_, require_strace_, require_membership_in_two_groups_, require_sparse_support_, skip_if_mcstransd_is_running_, mkfifo_or_skip_) Use `framework_failure_', not `framework_failure'. * Many test scripts: Likewise.
2011-06-17tests: remove skip_test_ function; use new skip_ insteadJim Meyering
* tests/init.cfg (skip_test_): Remove function. Use skip_ in place of skip_test_ everywhere else. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_skip_): Remove rule. * tests/**: Use skip_, not skip_test_, everywhere.

2010-11-17tests: substitute the single-program $VERBOSE/--version usesJim Meyering
Automatically make all of the changes like this: -test "$VERBOSE" = yes && chgrp --version +print_ver_ chgrp git grep -l 'VERBOSE.*--version'|xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/test "\$VERBOSE" = yes && (\w+) --version/print_ver_ $1/'
2010-11-17tests: convert first batch of tests from test-lib.sh to init.shJim Meyering
Initially, I did this, git grep -l srcdir/test-lib.sh|xargs perl -p0i -e '~180-byte script' but that line would have been much longer than the maximum permitted by coreutils' commit hook, and wasn't readable besides, so here's a more readable version: lhs=$(printf '%s\\n' \ 'if test "$VERBOSE" = yes; then' \ ' set -x' \ ' touch --version' \ 'fi' \ '' \ '. $srcdir/test-lib.sh' \ | sed 's/\$/\\\$/g;s/touch/(\\w+)/') rhs=$(printf '%s\\n' \ '. "${srcdir=.}/init.sh"; path_prepend_ ../src' \ 'test "$VERBOSE" = yes && FIXME --version' \ | sed 's/\$/\\\$/g;s/FIXME/\$1/') git grep -l srcdir/test-lib.sh|xargs perl -p0i -e "s,$lhs,$rhs,"
2010-02-02tests: fix various timeout racesPádraig Brady
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/277485 * tests/misc/timeout: Set all expected timeouts to 1s and all unexpected timeouts to 10s. In this way, tests normally proceed quickly but may delay up to 10s before reporting failures. * tests/ls/infloop: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/pid: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/pipe-f: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise. * tests/dd/skip-seek-past-dev: Likewise.
2010-01-01maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010Jim Meyering
Use this command: git ls-files | grep -v COPYING \ | xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright
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.
2009-10-10tests: adjust tail-2/pid to work around FreeBSD 6.1 failureJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/pid: Run tail -f --pid=... on an actual file, not on /dev/null, to avoid this failure on FreeBSD 6.1: tail: /dev/null: cannot change nonblocking mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device
2009-10-02tail: avoid a race where we could miss new data with --pidPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (tail_forever, tail_forever_inotify): Close a race in tail_forever_inotify where new data written after the file check by a now dead process, but before the pid check, is not output. We use the POSIX guarantee that read() and write() are serialized wrt each other even in separate processes, to assume full file consistency after exit() and so poll for new data _after_ the writer has exited. This also allows us to not redundantly _wait_ for new data if the process is dead. * tests/tail-2/pid: Remove the now partially invalid sub second sleep check as we now don't unconditionally wait, and replace it with a check for the redundant sleep. Also clarify some of the existing comments. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2009-09-30tests: tail-2/pid: use a 3-second timeout, not 1Jim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/pid: When using the timeout program to ensuring that tail -s.1 --pid=$PID_T_MAX does not wait forever, use a timeout longer than 1 second. A 1-second timeout could be too short on a very busy system, and result in a timeout, and hence false-positive failure. 2009-09-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
2009-09-05tests: test old tail -f method even on systems with inotifyPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (main): Add an undocumented ---disable-inotify option to allow disabling inotify. * tests/tail-2/pid: Run test in both normal and "disable_inotify" modes. * tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/append-only: Likewise.
2009-09-03tests: simplify and fix a race in 2 tail --follow testsPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/pid: Use the timeout command to determine process longevity, rather than querying /proc/$pid/status. The latter was racy in any case when inotify is used, as then tail wakes up periodically even for unchanging files therefore causing the check for "S (sleeping)" state to fail intermittently. * tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise.
2009-08-12tests: improve one of the tail --pid testsPádraig Brady
* tests/tail-2/pid: Speed up the test by specifying a timeout of 100ms rather than the default 1s. Also skip the test instead of failing in the unlikely case were the pid required to be missing pid is present.
2009-07-30tail: properly parse fractional seconds when monitoring a pidPádraig Brady
* src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): The fractional part of the delay was 1000 times too large. * tests/tail-2/pid: Add a test to ensure the timeout happens for this case.
2009-07-30tests: test for just-fixed tail --pid bugJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/pid: Ensure tail exits successfully when PID dies.
2009-06-23tests: tail-2/pid: include more info upon failureJim Meyering
* tests/tail-2/pid: Print unexpected $state upon failing.
2009-06-15tail: use inotify if it is availableGiuseppe Scrivano
* NEWS: Document the new feature. * m4/jm-macros.m4: Check if inotify is present. * src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): New function. (main): Use the inotify-based function, if possible. * tests/Makefile.am: Add new tests for tail. * tests/test-lib.sh (require_proc_pid_status_, get_process_status_): New functions. * tests/tail-2/pid: New file. * tests/tail-2/wait: New file. * tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Refactor code into the test-lib.sh require_proc_pid_status_ function.
