* tests: prepare to move ./defs to t/ax/test-init.shStefano Lattarini2012-10-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't do this in a sweeping passage, because that would cause endless headaches in the synchronization between the maint, master and ng/master branches. Instead, we setup our framework to allow test scripts to work by sourcing either './defs' or 'test-init.sh', so that we'll be able to make the transition gradual and painless. * t/ax/test-init.sh: New, copied from the previous ./defs file. * defs: Simply work by sourcing the new file. * Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): List the new file. * t/README: Adjust to mandate the sourcing of 'test-init.sh' rather than of './defs'. * t/c-demo.sh: Source 'test-init.sh' instead of ./defs. This is done to verify our new setup actually works. * t/ac-output-old.tap: Likewise. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
* tests: prefer "test ! -e FILE" to check that a file doesn't existStefano Lattarini2012-06-291-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once, for the sake of (at least) Solaris 10 /bin/sh, we had to use "test ! -f FILE" or "test ! -r FILE" or "test ! -d FILE" instead, because the that shell's 'test' built-in didn't grok the '-e' option. Note however that we still can't use "test ! -e" in the Makefile recipes used in the test cases; that is because those recipes are run with the shell detected by 'configure', and Autoconf-generated configure scripts do no guarantee to find or provide a POSIX-compatible shell. * Several tests: Adjust. * t/yacc-clean-cxx: Adjust, and remove a couple of useless commands. * t/parallel-tests-dry-run-2.sh: Adjust, and add invocation to "make -n" forgotten in previous versions of the test. * t/txinfo26.sh: Adjust, and don't bother to skip the test when it's run in a directory whose absolute path contain whitespace: that setup is not supported anyway. * t/maken3.sh: Adjust, and fix a typo that could cause a minor false negative. * t/test-trs-recover2.sh: Prefer using 'skip_' with a suitable error message over a bare 'exit 77'.

* tests: simpler workaround for shells losing the exit status in exit trapStefano Lattarini2012-06-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we can assume our tests are run by a decent POSIX shell, we can simplify our workaround aimed at having the exit status propagated correctly to the code in the exit trap. Unfortunately, we cannot dispense with such a workaround altogether, because it's still required by some shells we need to support (at least Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh). For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the Autoconf manual: <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap> The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following shells: - Bash 4.1 - Bash 3.2 - Bash 3.0 - Bash 2.05b - dash 0.5.5.1 - dash 0.5.2 - AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package) - MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package) - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh * t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ... (_am_exit): ... like this. (exit): New alias for '_am_exit'. We cannot simply redefine 'exit' as a shell function, because some shells (dash 0.5.5.1, Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) do not allow it. (_am_exit, trap): Add extra escaping for 'exit' calls, to ensure we really invoke the 'exit' builtin and not our alias with the same name. * configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run our testsuite supports aliases named like shell builtins. * t/REAMDE: Adjust. * All tests: Adjust, by simply using 'exit' instead of 'Exit'. * t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust: the first usage of 'exit' after it has been redefined as an alias must be on a new line w.r.t. that where the alias is defined, in order for the redefinition to be honored. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Delete. (sc_tests_exit_not_Exit): New. (syntax_check_rules): Adjust. (sc_tests_automake_fails): Simplify the recipe a little. * Several tests: Remove now useless spurious quoting once required to placate the 'sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check. * gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. Also, avoid uses of 'Exit' in the generated scripts. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
* tests: use more POSIX shell features our test scriptsStefano Lattarini2012-06-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 'v1.12-36-g2d68fd9' of 2012-05-07, "configure: search a sturdy POSIX shell to be used in the testsuite", the shell running our test script is assured to be a POSIX-conforming shell, so we can use the more modern and flexible idioms and features that we couldn't use when we also aimed at compatibility with non-POSIX Bourne shells, like Solaris /bin/sh. * t/README: Suggest to use POSIX shell features liberally in test cases, with possible exception of Makefile recipes and configure shell code. * Several tests: Adjust to use more POSIX shell features; e.g., $(...) rather than `...`, $((...)) rather than `expr ...`, "if ! CMD; then ..." instead of "if CMD; then :; else ...", and so on. In several places, when using the 'test' built-in, prefer '-eq' over '=' for numeric comparisons, and prefer "grep -c PATTERN FILE" over "grep PATTERN FILE | wc -l". Throw in other low-hanging easy improvements and fixlets while we are at it. * t/ax/depcomp.sh, t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/tap-functions.sh, defs, defs-static.in: Likewise.
