[PATCH] Changelogentry template cleanup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [PATCH] Changelogentry template cleanup From: Edouard Gomez <edouard.gomez@gmail.com> Changelogentry template cleanup Removed unuseful outside div (was probably used to carry the parity class, it's no use, multiple css classes can be assigned to the inner table instead) Removed all hardwired styles in html tags. The style has been externalized to equivalent CSS classes. The inner table is now assigned the parity CSS class. Changed all relevant table cells from td to th. Added classes to all cells in order to give some semantic rationale to these table cells. manifest hash: 2835217df09be445961b865be166c2470173ba58 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCx1g5ywK+sNU5EO8RAhKGAKCWAHrx+lLMAXjd4/vgvG7vmfSkAACfTZ+m /EyUsDVaYeVcGzFsp8liReI= =vt2N -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

A simple testing framework

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
./run-tests

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 up -m want user interaction

  for commit use -t "text"
  for hg up -m, 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 -t "test" -u test -d "0 0"

- diff will show the current time

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

- set -x and pipelines don't generate stable output

  turn off set -x or break pipelines into pieces
