run-tests.py: make tests use same python interpreter as test harness.
this is wanted because some tests run python interpreter directly.
must use same python interpreter in tests as in main harness or problems
will happen because of e.g. different python abi if run-tests.py run
with python 2.5 but system python is 2.4.
fix is to see if system python is used and is named python. if no,
put symlink called python at front of shell search path.

A simple testing framework To run the tests, do: cd tests/ python run-tests.py This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete. A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in test-<x>.err. There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when writing tests: - hg commit and hg merge want user interaction for commit use -m "text" for hg merge, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge) - changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make things like hg history output change use commit -m "test" -u test -d "1000000 0" - diff will show the current time use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\) [a-zA-Z0-9_/.-]*\).*/\1/" to strip dates
