support hooks written in python.
to write hook in python, create module with hook function inside.
make sure mercurial can import module (put it in $PYTHONPATH or load it
as extension). hook function should look like this:
def myhook(ui, repo, hooktype, **kwargs):
if hook_passes:
return True
elif hook_explicitly_fails:
return False
elif some_other_failure:
import util
raise util.Abort('helpful failure message')
else:
return
# implicit return of None makes hook fail!
then in .hgrc, add hook with "python:" prefix:
[hooks]
commit = python:mymodule.myhook
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 -m "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 -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
