-
- $ sh ./t3001-ls-files-killed.sh

+Since the tests all output TAP (see http://testanything.org) they can
+be run with any TAP harness. Here's an example of parallel testing
+powered by a recent version of prove(1):
+
+ $ prove --timer --jobs 15 ./t[0-9]*.sh
+ [19:17:33] ./t0005-signals.sh ................................... ok 36 ms
+ [19:17:33] ./t0022-crlf-rename.sh ............................... ok 69 ms
+ [19:17:33] ./t0024-crlf-archive.sh .............................. ok 154 ms
+ [19:17:33] ./t0004-unwritable.sh ................................ ok 289 ms
+ [19:17:33] ./t0002-gitfile.sh ................................... ok 480 ms
+ ===( 102;0 25/? 6/? 5/? 16/? 1/? 4/? 2/? 1/? 3/? 1... )===
+
+prove and other harnesses come with a lot of useful options. The
+--state option in particular is very useful:
+
+ # Repeat until no more failures
+ $ prove -j 15 --state=failed,save ./t[0-9]*.sh
+
+You can also run each test individually from command line, like this:
+
+ $ sh ./t3010-ls-files-killed-modified.sh
+ ok 1 - git update-index --add to add various paths.
+ ok 2 - git ls-files -k to show killed files.
+ ok 3 - validate git ls-files -k output.
+ ok 4 - git ls-files -m to show modified files.
+ ok 5 - validate git ls-files -m output.
+ # passed all 5 test(s)
+ 1..5
You can pass --verbose (or -v), --debug (or -d), and --immediate
(or -i) command line argument to the test, or by setting GIT_TEST_OPTS
- If the script is invoked with command line argument --help
(or -h), it shows the test_description and exits.
- - Creates an empty test directory with an empty .git/objects
- database and chdir(2) into it. This directory is 't/trash directory'
- if you must know, but I do not think you care.
+ - Creates an empty test directory with an empty .git/objects database
+ and chdir(2) into it. This directory is 't/trash
+ directory.$test_name_without_dotsh', with t/ subject to change by
+ the --root option documented above.
- Defines standard test helper functions for your scripts to
use. These functions are designed to make all scripts behave
There are a handful helper functions defined in the test harness
library for your script to use.
- - test_expect_success <message> <script>
+ - test_expect_success [<prereq>] <message> <script>
- This takes two strings as parameter, and evaluates the
+ Usually takes two strings as parameter, and evaluates the
<script>. If it yields success, test is considered
successful. <message> should state what it is testing.
'git-write-tree should be able to write an empty tree.' \
'tree=$(git-write-tree)'
- - test_expect_failure <message> <script>
+ If you supply three parameters the first will be taken to be a
+ prerequisite, see the test_set_prereq and test_have_prereq
+ documentation below:
+
+ test_expect_success TTY 'git --paginate rev-list uses a pager' \
+ ' ... '
+
+ - test_expect_failure [<prereq>] <message> <script>
This is NOT the opposite of test_expect_success, but is used
to mark a test that demonstrates a known breakage. Unlike
success and "still broken" on failure. Failures from these
tests won't cause -i (immediate) to stop.
+ Like test_expect_success this function can optionally use a three
+ argument invocation with a prerequisite as the first argument.
+
- test_debug <script>
This takes a single argument, <script>, and evaluates it only
Merges the given rev using the given message. Like test_commit,
creates a tag and calls test_tick before committing.
+ - test_set_prereq SOME_PREREQ
+
+ Set a test prerequisite to be used later with test_have_prereq. The
+ test-lib will set some prerequisites for you, e.g. PERL and PYTHON
+ which are derived from ./GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS (grep test_set_prereq
+ test-lib.sh for more). Others you can set yourself and use later
+ with either test_have_prereq directly, or the three argument
+ invocation of test_expect_success and test_expect_failure.
+
+ - test_have_prereq SOME PREREQ
+
+ Check if we have a prerequisite previously set with
+ test_set_prereq. The most common use of this directly is to skip
+ all the tests if we don't have some essential prerequisite:
+
+ if ! test_have_prereq PERL
+ then
+ skip_all='skipping perl interface tests, perl not available'
+ test_done
+ fi
