* Improve test for blocked signalsJacob Bachmeyer2023-03-291-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes ERRORs reported by: * t/parallel-tests-interrupt.tap * t/self-check-exit.tap * t/self-check-is-blocked-signal.tap * t/tap-signal.tap * t/ax/am-test-lib.sh (is_blocked_signal): Revise Perl code to more closely follow documented interfaces where available. This also works around bugs and limitations of the POSIX module in Perl 5.6. Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes
* Port 'make check' to platforms lacking libtoolPaul Eggert2023-03-291-2/+4
| | | | * t/get-sysconf.sh: Don’t fail if libtoolize is missing.
* tests: depcomp: ensure make_ok() fails when run_make failsFrédéric Bérat2023-01-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | While running automake tests with -std-gnu=c99, the compiler report errors which lead to make to fail. Yet, these failures are ignored during the tests, which considers them to be successful as stderror is check for one specific pattern. If make fails, investigation should be made to discover why, whatever the reason for the failure is. * t/ax/depcomp.sh: Make make_ok fail when make fails.
* tests: rework gettext to only check 'external' behaviorMike Frysinger2023-01-145-22/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The gettext project deprecated non-external use back in 2010 with the 0.18 release, and made it fatal with the 0.20 release in 2019. With that version, calling AM_GNU_GETTEXT() fails, which means all Automake tests are now skipped. The t/gettext-macros.sh helper probes gettext as such: >+ autopoint --force > autopoint: *** AM_GNU_GETTEXT without 'external' argument is no longer supported in version 0.21.1 > autopoint: *** Stop. > ... >+ aclocal-1.16 -Werror -Wno-syntax -I m4 --install > aclocal-1.16: warnings are treated as errors > configure.ac:4: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library > configure.ac:5: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION' not found in library >+ echo skip_all_ "couldn't find or get gettext macros" Since t/gettext-macros.sh generates a helper that all other gettext tests use to see if gettext is available, all they get skipped. Rework our existing tests to only check the 'external' gettext mode. This should work with older versions, and we don't really need to keep track of old non-external mode since it's been deprecated for so long. * t/gettext-basics.sh: Use external gettext mode, and adjust tests. * t/gettext-config-rpath.sh: Likewise. * t/gettext-macros.sh: Likewise. * t/gettext-pr381.sh: Likewise. * t/subdir-cond-gettext.sh: Likewise.
* tests: disable git log pager usageMike Frysinger2023-01-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | When running this code locally, the git log call can trigger a pager depending on the local settings, which in turn forces the test to be interactive. Run git with --no-pager to force disable it. * t/get-sysconf.sh: Run git with --no-pager.
* tests: change `sort|uniq` to `sort -u`Mike Frysinger2023-01-132-2/+2
| | | | | | | | These are equivalent, but more performant. We already use `sort -u` elsewhere in the codebase, so nothing new here really. * t/add-missing.tap: Change `sort|uniq` to `sort -u`. * t/CheckListOfTests.am: Likewise.
* tests: Fix 'type defaults' error in link_cond due to main not being properly ↵Frédéric Bérat2023-01-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | declared This is related to an effort to prepare Automake for future GCC/Clang versions which set c99 as default standard to be used. Not properly declaring main as "int main(...)" is rejected since c99. * t/link_cond.sh: Add (void) to main definition.

| | | | | | | | From automake patch https://bugs.gnu.org/59989 (though a different solution), suggestion by Frederic Berat. * t/txinfo-include.sh: avoid apostrophes in test document, since Texinfo 7.0 turns them into UTF-8 by default.

* automake: fall back gracefully when texinfo inputs don't existMike Frysinger2022-03-052-0/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/54063. The function scanning for @setfilename will fall back to a default value if the input doesn't have one defined. But we need to handle the case where the file doesn't even exist before falling back. * bin/automake.in: Scan /dev/null for @setfilename if input doesn't exist. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add txinfo-no-setfilename-no-inputs.sh. * t/txinfo-no-setfilename-no-inputs.sh: New test.
* m4: rework silent-rules macros to avoid double expansionMike Frysinger2022-02-272-0/+165
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/32868. The AM_SILENT_RULES macro defines all the silent-rules related setup. It's also called by users to change the default verbosity level. This leads to a quirk where automake calls it, expands the full context, and then users call it, and it's fully expanded again. Instead, let's rename AM_SILENT_RULES to _AM_SILENT_RULES and move the initialization logic to late in the configure stage. This allows the user-centric AM_SILENT_RULES call to expand into a single line to set the default verbosity. * m4/init.m4: Switch to _AM_SILENT_RULES. * m4/silent.m4: Rename AM_SILENT_RULES to _AM_SILENT_RULES. Delay evaluation of AM_SILENT_RULES to the end. Define new AM_SILENT_RULES to set default rules verbosity. * t/silent-defaults.sh: New tests. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add t/silent-defaults.sh.
* tests: make silent-custom regex a little more robustMike Frysinger2022-02-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/32800. Have the regex match the entire path with word boundaries on both sides. This should reduce false positives when the full cwd happens to match parent directories. * t/silent-custom.sh: Update the header output regex.
* automake: allow required files to be in subdirsMike Frysinger2022-02-232-0/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/20300. The internal method for caching path lookups expects the $filename to only be a filename. If it's actually a subdir/file itself, then the cache logic gets confused, and it never matches. This manifests as AC_REQUIRE_AUX_FILE([subdir/file]) claiming that the subdir/file path doesn't exist even when it does. Before we process any required files, since we already construct the full path locally, reset the dir & file inputs to the final values. * bin/automake.in: Split dir & file name back out from the constructed required file path. * t/auxdir-subsubdir.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add t/auxdir-subsubdir.sh.
* tests: fix yacc C++ tests with some C++ compilersMike Frysinger2022-02-233-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/20031. The C++ standard does not require symbols be placed into the global namespace, just in the std namespace. The GNU implementation will place symbols in both. For our specific code, we don't care either. Unfortunately, it looks like generated flex code assumes that some stdlib.h symbols (free, malloc, exit) are in the global namespace, even when compiling for C++. So when we include <cstdlib> but not <stdlib.h>, we might not get the symbols in the global namespace. We can workaround this by including stdlib.h in these tests without invalidating the point of the tests in general. * t/yacc-cxx.sh: Include stdlib.h. * t/yacc-d-cxx.sh: Likewise. * t/yacc-mix-c-cxx.sh: Likewise.
* tests: log autoconf & libtool versionMike Frysinger2022-02-231-0/+5
| | | | | | | Having these in the sysconf log can be helpful when triaging test failures from users. * t/get-sysconf.sh: Log autoconf & libtoolize version.
* automake: support embedded \# in variable appendsMike Frysinger2022-02-233-0/+93
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/7610. Use of \# is not portable. POSIX does not provide any way of retaining the # marker in variables. There is wide spread support for \# though in GNU & BSD Make implementations. Today, with plain variable assignments, Automake leaves the line alone: foo = blah\#blah This will leave it to the implementation to decide what to do. But if you try to append to it, Automake follows POSIX and strips it: foo = blah\#blah foo += what -> foo = blah\ what Instead, let's issue a portability warning whenever \# is used, even if it isn't being appended, and do not strip the \# when appending. Now: foo = blah\#blah foo += what -> warning: escaping \# comment markers is not portable -> foo = blah\#blah what * NEWS: Mention change in \# handling. * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm: Do not strip # if escaped. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: Warn if \# is used. * t/comment12.sh: New test. * t/comments-escaped-in-var.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add comment12.sh & comments-escaped-in-var.sh.
* rm: handle -f w/no arguments gracefullyMike Frysinger2022-02-201-14/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/10828. Delete the configure check that would abort if `rm -f` does not work, and delete the plans to make this a hard requirement in the future. Instead, test to see if `rm -f` fails w/out arguments. If it does, define am__rm_f such that it always passes at least the "" argument when deleting files. If it doesn't fail, then we can omit the "". Then go through lib/am/ and update places where we use the pattern `test -z ... || rm -f ...` and replace with $(am__rm_f). * NEWS: Mention support for `rm -f` w/out arguments. * PLANS/rm-f-without-args.txt: Remove. * lib/am/check.am: Use new $(am__rm_f) helper. * lib/am/clean.am: Likewise. * lib/am/header-vars.am: Likewise. * lib/am/inst-vars.am: Likewise. * lib/am/libs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/ltlib.am: Likewise. * lib/am/progs.am: Likewise. * lib/am/texinfos.am: Likewise. * m4/init.m4: Delete `rm -f` checks and call _AM_PROG_RM_F. * m4/rmf.m4: Define new _AM_PROG_RM_F macro. * t/rm-f-probe.sh: Update test.
* tests: do not assume AM_MAKEINFOHTMLFLAGS is used in non-html targetsMathieu Lirzin2022-02-082-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/30172. Since AM_MAKEINFOHTMLFLAGS overrides AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS only for html targets, make sure we restore the hacked up makefile before testing the non-html formats. This normally doesn't cause a problem for most people, but if their tex install doesn't work correctly, texi2dvi will fallback to running $MAKEINFO and using invalid flags in the process. * THANKS: Add Mathieu Lirzin. * t/txinfo-many-output-formats.sh: Restore Makefile.am after testing html targets. * t/txinfo-many-output-formats-vpath.sh: Likewise.
* py-compile: drop support for Python 0.x & 1.xMike Frysinger2022-02-061-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | Python 2.0 was released in 2000. There's really no way for us to check those old versions, so let's just drop them. No one will miss them. * NEWS: Note Python version support removal. * lib/py-compile: Abort if major version 0 or 1 is found. * t/py-compile-env.sh: Rework slightly to handle new version probing.
* py-compile: handle filenames with whitespaceMike Frysinger2022-02-051-0/+36
| | | | | | | | The list of files is put into a string and then split on whitespace. Fix the way the list of files are passed to the compile script. * lib/py-compile: Pass files as arguments, not as a string. * t/py-compile-files.sh: New test.
* py-compile: clean up usage infoMike Frysinger2022-02-051-2/+2

* texi: define new AM_TEXI2FLAGS variableMike Frysinger2022-01-281-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | To provide a bit more flexibility when invoking TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF, and provide a bit of symmetry with .info & .html generation, provide a AM_TEXI2FLAGS setting that is passed to all TEXI2xxx invocations. * doc/automake.texi: Mention new AM_TEXI2FLAGS setting. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Pass $(AM_TEXI2FLAGS) to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF. * NEWS: Mention AM_TEXI2FLAGS. * t/txinfo-many-output-formats.sh: Check for AM_TEXI2FLAGS.
* texi: pass automatic -I to dvi & pdf generationMike Frysinger2022-01-281-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/23599. When generating info/html pages, automake adds -I flags to source dirs that contain the texi files, but it doesn't do this for dvi or pdf formats. Instead, automake has been relying on texi2dvi to use makeinfo for expanding macros, and it hasn't done that by default in a long time. Since adding --expand to the texi2dvi call is undesirable (due to bad and unpredictable BEHAVIOR), pass those automatic -I flags directly to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF so they work regardless of --expand behavior. We have to keep the MAKEINFO= setting around as texi2dvi might itself fall back to it if the version of tex is old or broken. * bin/automake.in: Add comment about $makeinfoflags usage. * doc/automake.texi: Mention automatic -I subdir flags. * lib/am/texibuild.am: Pass %MAKEINFOFLAGS% to TEXI2DVI & TEXI2PDF. * t/txinfo-subdir-pr343.sh: Check for -I subdir usage.
* tests: remove spurious +x bitsMike Frysinger2022-01-2810-0/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | None of these files are (or can be) executed directly, so drop the spurious +x permission bit. None of the other tests do this either. * t/built-sources-install-exec.sh: Remove +x bit. * t/ccnoco-deps.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco-lib.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco-lt.sh: Likewise. * t/perf/cond.sh: Likewise. * t/perf/testsuite-recheck.sh: Likewise. * t/perf/testsuite-summary.sh: Likewise. * t/python-prefix.sh: Likewise. * t/tags-lisp-space.sh: Likewise. * t/test-extensions-empty.sh: Likewise.
* tests: add coverage for nobase_ and dist_ prefixesMike Frysinger2022-01-272-0/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | From automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/14245. We have tests that check nobase_ and nodist_ interaction, but not nobase_ and dist_. We had a report against automake 1.12 that this combo did not work. It seems to work now, but lets include a test to make sure we don't regress. Based on Daiki Ueno's example, but fixed up to pass against master. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add t/nobase-dist.sh. * t/nobase-dist.sh: New test.
* progs, libs: support _RANLIB overridesMike Frysinger2022-01-242-0/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Much like we have per-target support for _AR and _LINK, add an _RANLIB override too. This allows selection of specific ranlib tools in case a non-standard archiver tool was forced. * bin/automake.in: Check for _RANLIB per-target settings. * doc/automake.texi: Document _RANLIB override. * lib/am/library.am: Change $(RANLIB) to $(%XLIBRARY%_RANLIB). * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add ranlib_override.sh. * t/ranlib_override.sh: New test. * NEWS: Mention new feature.
* tests: add _AR override coverageMike Frysinger2022-01-242-0/+51
| | | | | | | There were no tests for per-target _AR settings, so add some. * t/ar_override.sh: New test. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Add ar_override.sh.
* tests: clear autotools env varsMike Frysinger2022-01-242-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/16714. The testsuite will try and retain these env vars when recursively running itself, but doesn't distinguish between vars coming from the env where the tests were launched. This breaks if the user happens to `export ACLOCAL=alocal` before `make check`. This gets a little more confusing in that the Makefile appears to export these already: ACLOCAL = ".../automake/pre-inst-env" aclocal-1.16 In reality, while those are set in the make execution environment, they aren't exported into the process environment, so children (i.e. shell processes in make rules) don't have them set. That's why tests work for most people today. However, if the user has first exported "ACLOCAL" in the parent make environment (regardless of value), then make's value will reset the process environment, and then that will leak into the children. That's why we see errors that look like the makefile env vars are leaking for these people. At any rate, the fix is to update the test harness to clear these vars that the test suite relies upon, especially the ones that are also set in the Makefiles. That includes AUTOUPDATE even though it currently isn't used inside any of the tests. * t/local.mk: Add ACLOCAL, AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE, and AUTOUPDATE to the env unset list. * t/ax/runtest.in: Likewise.
* tests: fix quoting in evalMike Frysinger2022-01-241-1/+1
