1 A simple testing framework
2
3 To run the tests, do:
4
5 cd tests/
6 ./run-tests
7
8 This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes
9 them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is
10 run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete.
11
12 A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output
13 matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in
14 test-<x>.err.
15
16 There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when
17 writing tests:
18
19 - hg commit and hg up -m want user interaction
20
21 for commit use -t "text"
22 for hg up -m, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge)
23
24 - changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make
25 things like hg history output change
26
27 use commit -t "test" -u test -d "0 0"
28
29 - diff will show the current time
30
31 use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\).*\)\t.*/\1/" to strip dates
32
33 - set -x and pipelines don't generate stable output
34
35 turn off set -x or break pipelines into pieces
