1 A simple testing framework

     2 

     3 This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes

     4 them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is

     5 run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete.

     6 

     7 A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output

     8 matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in

     9 test-<x>.err.

    11 There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when

    12 writing tests:

    13 

    14 - hg commit and hg up -m want user interaction

    15 

    16   for commit use -t "text"

    17   for hg up -m, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge)

    18 

    19 - changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make

    20   things like hg history output change

    21 

    22   use commit -t "test" -u test -d "0 0"

    23 

    24 - diff will show the current time

    25 

    26   use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\).*\)\t.*/\1/" to strip dates
