From e43d30eab3215bc9ff49ec7db3d3e2baa95ba070 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2012 20:32:44 +0200 Subject: tests: convert nearly all `...` expressions to $(...) 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/`(.*?)`/\$($1)/g' \ tests/du/long-from-unreadable tests/init.cfg --- tests/misc/shuf | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'tests/misc/shuf') diff --git a/tests/misc/shuf b/tests/misc/shuf index 8fdbdd9f2..243c0498d 100755 --- a/tests/misc/shuf +++ b/tests/misc/shuf @@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ sort -n out > out1 compare in out1 || { fail=1; echo "not a permutation" 1>&2; } # Exercise shuf's -e option. -t=`shuf -e a b c d e | sort | fmt` +t=$(shuf -e a b c d e | sort | fmt) test "$t" = 'a b c d e' || { fail=1; echo "not a permutation" 1>&2; } # Before coreutils-6.3, this would infloop. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
