* tests: better idiom to override make macro defs on the cmdlineStefano Lattarini2013-05-221-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We now do so with a new wrapper shell function 'run_make()', which relies on the use of AM_MAKEFLAGS, avoiding the use of the '-e' make option. The use of that option (that causes the environment variables to take precedence over the macro definitions in the Makefile) has proved to be quite brittle in the past, causing annoying and sometimes problematic spurious failures. This has worsened in some still unpublished work going on in development branches. It's time to solve the issue once and for all. Note that we do not convert all uses of $MAKE in the testsuite right away; we might do so in follow-up changes, with leisure, to avoid a "patch bomb" effect (this commit is already too much of a bomb itself). What we do in this commit is to get rid of all "$MAKE -e" invocations. We admit that the implementation and feature-set of 'run_make()' are far from perfect, but good enough for our current purposes. We'll improve 'run_make()' if and when the need arises. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_no_make_e): New syntax check, guard against the use of "$MAKE -e". (syntax_check_rules): Add it. (sc_tests_overriding_macros_on_cmdline): Adjust. (lint): New, alias for 'maintainer-check', for lazy typists. Idea backported from the 'maint' branch (Automake 1.13a). * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (run_make): New function. Run $MAKE with the given command-line arguments, handling command-line override of variable definitions in a smart way (using AM_MAKEFLAGS if a non-GNU make implementation is detected to be in use). (useless_vpath_rebuild): Adjust to use 'run_make', to avoid a spurious maintainer check failure. (yl_distcheck): Use 'run_make' rather than bare '$MAKE'. (single_quote, append_single_quoted, is_valid_varname): New auxiliary function, used, directly or indirectly, by it. * Many tests: Adjust to avoid the use of "$MAKE -e", and prefer the use of 'run_make' in few other contexts as well, where it makes sense. Other minor fixlets while at it. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
* tests: remove exec bit from all of them ('micro' branch)Stefano Lattarini2013-05-161-0/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It gives the impression that they are directly runnable, as with "./t/foo.sh", but it has been a while since that was the case. Today, tests are runnable only through "make check" or "./runtest". This change is for the 'micro' branch (automake 1.13.2a). It will soon be followed by similar patches for the 'maint' branch (automake 1.13a) and the 'master' branch (automake 1.99a). * t/*.sh, t/*.tap: Remove executable bit. * maint.mk (sc_tests_executable): Remove. (syntax_check_rules): Adjust. * gen-testsuite-part: Set permissions of generated tests to '444' (-r--r--r--), rather than 555 (-r-xr-xr-x).

* tests: prefer including 'test-init.sh' rather than './defs'Stefano Lattarini2012-10-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a follow-up to today's commit v1.12.4-22-g0610fc8, "tests: prepare to move ./defs to t/ax/test-init.sh" * All tests: To run the common setup, use the command: . test-init.sh instead of the older, "historical" one: . ./defs || exit 1 Note that the "|| exit 1" wasn't really useful, since the 'errexit' shell flag is in effect in both './defs' and 'test-init.sh', and all the known shells that are good enough to run the automake testsuite do automatically exit with error when a sourced file cannot be found (at least, they do so in non-interactive mode, which is the only mode that concerns us in the testsuite). * t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise. * gen-testsuite-part: Do the same in the generated tests.
