This lets us run non-fish targets (such as `fish_tests`) under a clean
test environment without running into the fish-specific payload
configuration now carried out by `test_driver.sh` which expects a
`.fish` payload that it will run under a deterministically configured
instance of fish, running in an environment initialized by
`test_env.sh`.
This should fix the problem with in-tree builds leaving detritus behind
after a `make test` when `fish_tests` would be executed without
`test_driver.sh` - it is now executed under `test_env.sh` instead.
The tmux-prompt test would sometimes fail because the first call was:
isolated-tmux capture-pane -p
this would run a capture-pane which would race with starting fish
itself; occasionally the pane would be empty since fish has not yet
drawn a prompt. Add a loop to give fish time to draw the prompt.
On macOS, the tests would often fail because calls to `pkill` would "leak"
across tests: kill processes run by other tests. This is because on macOS,
the -P argument to pkill must come before the process name. On Linux it
doesn't matter.
This improves test reliability on Mac.
For littlecheck/pexpect this just unconditionally enables color.
I have no idea what happens if you run cmake outside of a terminal
, but the worst that can happen is that *errors* have color
escapes in them.
If someone figures out how to get cmake to tell us if it's running in
a terminal, we can add a check.
Tmux has support for wrapping arbitrary escape sequences inside
```
\ePtmux;\e%s\e\\
```
Since this ends like the screen title escape, we just reuse that.
Characteristically, this is basically undocumented, but we already use
it in e.g. fish_vi_cursor.
This used the *logical* $PWD, but realpath would operate on the
physical $PWD if given ".", even with -s. This makes this test fail if the $PWD is
logically different from physical.
This means instead of printing at least two lines per successful test,
we overwrite one line again and again with the current status, and
for *failed* (i.e interesting) tests we print the output.
Makes test failures much more visible.
This was long overdue since the setup logic is much more complex than
the actual tests.
tmux-prompt.fish had extra logic to protect against XDG_CONFIG_HOME
with leading double double-dot. I believe this is no longer necessary
with the new test driver.
We still use our own temp dir because we want to be able to run this
independently of the test driver, This can be useful for debugging
tests. For example we can insert a "$tmux attach" command in a test,
and then run
build/fish -C 'source tests/test_functions/isolated-tmux.fish' tests/checks/tmux-bind.fish
This allows to inspect the state of the test and debug interactively.
Attaching to the terminal doesn't work when running inside littlecheck
because littlecheck consumes our output and doesn't give us a terminal.
(Maybe there's an easy way to fix that?)
On request of a team member, this patches `basic.fish` to no longer
depend on being invoked by the test driver and started up in a $PWD that
points to a clean temporary directory.
This was requested by a team member who would like for some tests to
remain invokable (in thier own $HOME) directly via littlecheck without
relying on the test driver to prep the environment.
A comment explaining the rationale is also added so this doesn't get
passed down as folklore "you need to include this for tests to run" even
though no one understands why.
Tests are now executed in a test-specific temporary directory, so test
output on failure should be reproducible/reusable as-is without needing
to have TMPDIR defined (as it only exists by default under macOS).
`test:foo` is not allowed by CMake ("reserved name") and `test/foo`
won't work since CMake doesn't allow targets to have a directory
separator in their name.
Instead of trying to assert that there are no zombies when the test
starts (which often fails) and to prevent conflating existing or
irrelevant zombies with the ones we are interested in checking for,
have `ps` also emit the parent process id and filter its output to
include only children of the current fish instance.
Aside from the fact that the shared state could cause problems, tests
were randomly assuming it would be created where that wasn't the case.
In particular, `redirect.fish` and `basic.fish` were failing on only
macOS because `../test/temp` didn't exist yet - it would be created by
other tests later.
The default matching logic for fish_tests was prefix based, so when we
were running `history` we were also running all history tests. This
causes the test to fail for an unknown reason.
Even though we are using CMake's ctest for testing, we still define our
own `make test` target rather than use its default for many reasons:
* CMake doesn't run tests in-proc or even add each tests as an
individual node in the ninja dependency tree, instead it just bundles
all tests into a target called `test` that always just shells out to
`ctest`, so there are no build-related benefits to not doing that
ourselves.
* CMake devs insist that it is appropriate for `make test` to never
depend on `make all`, i.e. running `make test` does not require any
of the binaries to be built before testing.
* The only way to have a test depend on a binary is to add a fake test
with a name like "build_fish" that executes CMake recursively to
build the `fish` target.
* It is not possible to set top-level CTest options/settings such as
CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL from within the CMake configuration file.
* Circling back to the point about individual tests not being actual
Makefile targets, CMake does not offer any way to execute a named
test via the `make`/`ninja`/whatever interface; the only way to
manually invoke test `foo` is to to manually run `ctest` and specify
a regex matching `foo` as an argument, e.g. `ctest -R ^foo$`... which
is really crazy.
With this patch, it is now possible to execute any single test by name,
by invoking the build directly, e.g. to run the `universal.fish` check:
`cmake --build build --target universal.fish` or
`ninja -C build universal.fish`. Unfortunately, this is not integrated
into the Makefile wrapper, so `make universal.fish` won't work (although
this can potentially be hacked around).
Instead of compiling `fish_tests.cpp` dynamically with weakly-linked
symbols and asking it to print the list of all available tests, we
use a magic string `#define`'d as a no-op to allow CMake to regex search
for matching test groups. This speeds up configuration somewhat (by not
compiling anything), but more importantly, it's much less brittle and
doesn't involve and linker dark magic.
There's of course still no getting around the fact that it's really ugly.
