t/README: Update "Skipping tests" to align with best practices

2010-08-18T19:42:45Z

The example I initially added to "Skipping tests" wasn't very good. We'd rather skip tests using the three-arg prereq form to the test_* functions, not bail out with a skip message. Change the documentation to reflect that, but retain the bailout example under a disclaimer which explains that it's probably not a good idea to use it.

t/README: Add a note about the dangers of coverage chasing

2010-08-18T19:42:37Z

Having no coverage at all is almost always a bad sign, but trying to attain 100% coverage everywhere is usually a waste of time. Add a paragraph to explain this to future test writers.

t/README: A new section about test coverage

2010-08-18T19:42:37Z

Document how test writers can generate coverage reports, to ensure that their tests are really testing the code they think they're testing. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Reviewed-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

t/README: Add SMOKE_{COMMENT,TAGS}= to smoke_report target

2010-08-18T19:42:14Z

The smoke server supports a free form text field with comments about a report, and a comma delimited list of tags. Change the smoke_report target to expose this functionality. Now smokers can send more data that explains and categorizes the reports they're submitting. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

t/README: Document the Smoke testing

2010-08-18T19:42:14Z

Git now has a smoke testing service at http://smoke.git.nix.is that anyone can send reports to. Change the t/README file to mention this. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

tests: A SANITY test prereq for testing if we're root

2010-08-18T19:42:04Z

Some tests depend on not being able to write to files after chmod -w. This doesn't work when running the tests as root. Change test-lib.sh to test if this works, and if so it sets a new SANITY test prerequisite. The tests that use this previously failed when run under root. There was already a test for this in t3600-rm.sh, added by Junio C Hamano in 2283645 in 2006. That check now uses the new SANITY prerequisite. Some of this was resurrected from the "Tests in Cygwin" thread in May 2009: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/116729/focus=118385 Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

t/README: Document the predefined test prerequisites

2010-08-18T19:42:04Z

The README for the test library suggested that you grep the test-lib.sh for test_set_prereq to see what the preset prerequisites were. Remove that bit, and write a section explaining all the preset prerequisites. Most of the text was lifted from from Junio C Hamano and Johannes Sixt, See the "Tests in Cygwin" thread in May 2009 for the originals: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/116729/focus=118385 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/116729/focus=118434 Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

test-lib: Add support for multiple test prerequisites

2010-08-18T19:42:04Z

Change the test_have_prereq function in test-lib.sh to support a comma-separated list of prerequisites. This is useful for tests that need e.g. both POSIXPERM and SANITY. The implementation was stolen from Junio C Hamano and Johannes Sixt, the tests and documentation were not.

test-lib: user-friendly alternatives to test [-d|-f|-e]

2010-08-11T17:21:36Z

The helper functions are implemented, documented, and used in a few places to validate them, but not everywhere to avoid useless code churn. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
