This is mostly useful for Automake-NG, that is heavily overhauling the

with the /bin/sh shell from NetBSD 5.1. This was actually causing the

* t/vala-vapi.sh: Use 'printf', not 'echo', to print strings containing

interpret them that way:
$ /bin/sh -c 'echo "foo\nbar"'
foo
bar
$ /bin/bash -c 'echo "foo\nbar"'
foo
bar
tests: avoid spurious failure of 't/uninstall-fail.sh' on OpenIndiana
On current OpenIndiana (based on what once was OpenSolaris 11), the shell
/bin/sh (which, differently from what happens on Solaris, is a true POSIX
shell, thus worthy of consideration) somehow manages to "eat" the
error message from 'rm' when that fails to remove a file due to lacking
permission on the parent directory:
That is probably due to an improper optimization, that is, the shell tries
to be smart and remove the file itself instead of invoking 'rm', but fails
spectacularly in the attempt.
* t/uninstall-fail.sh: The just-described bug was causing a spurious
failure in this test case. Cater to thus situation, by relaxing the
test when a faulty shell is detected. And while at it, fix and improve
an unrelated comment.
tests: reimplement wrappers for automake and aclocal in perl
This will allow us to avoid one extra shell invocation per automake
and aclocal invocation in our testsuite, and, more importantly, will
allow us not to worry about potential shell portability issues, at
least in those wrappers. For an example of such a portability issue,
refer to the recent commit v1.12.2-80-g65dadf6 "tests: work around a
ksh bug w.r.t. ${1+"$@"}".
* t/wrap/automake.in, t/wrap/aclocal.in: Rewritten in perl.
Fixes automake bug#10898. See also the older (much older) thread:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2009-12/msg00036.html>
At least the AT&T and OpenSolaris versions of the Korn shell, as well
as the /bin/sh from OpenIndiana 11, have a strange bug regarding the
expansion of ${1+"$@"}: when exactly *one empty* argument is passed to
a script run by one of this shells, inside that script ${1+"$@"} will
expand to *nothing*, rather than to to the single empty string, as
one would expect (OTOH, $# will correctly expand to 1). This buggy
behaviour was causing a spurious failure in our testsuite (test 6 in
't/automake-cmdline.tap'). Work around it.
coverage: byte-compiling elisp files in different subdirectories

tests: never source test-defs.sh directly, source test-lib.sh instead
After the recent re-organization, sourcing 'test-defs.sh' directly might
not work well and cause spurious failures or other unexpected behaviours.
We should source 'test-lib.sh' instead, which contains not more direct
code execution (only definition of shell variables/functions, or sourcing
of other '*.sh' with the same property), is protected against multiple
inclusions, and sources 'test-defs.sh' automatically in in a proper way.
* t/testsuite-summary-count.sh, t/tap-summary.sh, t/tap-summary-color.sh,
t/testsuite-summary-color.sh: Source 'test-lib.sh', not 'test-defs.sh'.
* gen-testsuite-part: Likewise, in the generated wrapper scripts.
* runtest.in: Here, similarly to what is done by AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
in Makefile.am, unset variables that should be under the complete control
of the test framework, and that could create havoc if inherited from the
environment. This remove the need to check against possible environment
"pollution" ...
* t/ax/test-defs.in: ... in here.
* Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add a comment about the need of
synchronization with 'runtest.in'.
* t/self-check-env-sanitize.tap: Remove as obsolete.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.
* t/self-check-tap.sh: This. The recent reorganization and code
moving between 'test-defs.sh' and 'test-lib.sh' has made it
brittle and prone to failures. Since the usefulness of this self
check is extremely limited, it's not worth trying to fix it. Just
remove it.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.
And similarly, "am_using_tap=no" -> "am_test_protocol=none".
The new '$am_test_protocol' name is clearer, and will allow the easy
addition of further test protocols in the future. This is not truly
relevant for automake, but we are trying to make some parts of our
testsuite framework as general as possible, in view of a future move
to a more generic project like Gnulib.
* Makefile.am, t/ax/am-test-lib.sh, t/ax/test-defs.in, t/ax/test-lib.sh,
t/self-check-env-sanitize.tap, t/self-check-tap.sh: Adjust.
* syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_obsolete_variables): Add 'am_using_tap' to
the list of obsolete variables to check against.
tests: protect test libs against multiple inclusion
* t/ax/test-lib.sh, t/ax/am-test-lib.sh: Return early if already sourced.
Use the witness variables '$test_lib_sourced' and '$am_test_lib_sourced',
respectively, for this purpose.
* runtest.in, Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Unset 'test_lib_sourced'
and 'am_test_lib_sourced', to avoid interferences from the environment.
test defs: no need to re-add $srcdir/t/ax to $PATH
* t/ax/test-defs.sh: Here. That is already done by both 'runtest' and
AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, and the presence of '$srcdir/t/ax' in $PATH is
anyway required, after the recent changes, for our testsuite framework
to work at all.
tests: split test libs into "generic" and "automake-specific"
This is the first step in the quest to merge the generically useful
parts of our test suite framework in a more generic project, like
Gnulib. Time will tell if we'll succeed, and whether the success will
be worth the extra hassle.
* t/ax/test-init.sh: Split out ...
* t/ax/am-test-lib.sh, t/ax/test-lib.sh: ... into these two tests.
* defs, Makefile.am: Adjust.
test setup: merge definitions of function for simple tests
* t/ax/plain-functions.sh: Delete, moving the definitions of ...
($stderr_fileno_): ... this variable ...
(warn_, fail_, skip_, skip_all_, fatal_, framework_failure_): ... and
these functions ...
* t/ax/test-init.sh: ... in here. This allow us to use those functions
earlier in this file (instead of having to duplicate their behaviour
with inlined code). The TAP-based tests are still able to override these
functions later to their TAP-enhanced equivalents when 'tap-functions.sh'
is sourced.
* Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): Remove 't/ax/plain-functions.sh'.
* t/ax/tap-functions.sh: Adjust a comment.
* t/ax/test-init.sh (am_test_setup): Here.
Call it from the main code. Remove other calls of functions and
settings that are now duly called by 'am_test_setup'.
configure: testsuite shell set exit traps in shell functions
* configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run the test
scripts can set an exit trap in a shell function, without having
that trap executed at the termination of the function rather
than of the scripts. According to the Autoconf manual, at least
AUX 5.3 /bin/sh suffers of such a bug.
test init: remove a couple of paranoid sanity checks
* t/ax/test-init.sh: Here, about 'am_top_srcdir' and 'am_top_builddir';
the values of those variables are AC_SUBST'd, so it's nigh impossible
for the to be wrong or get "messed up".
Now that the early $PATH setup in both 'runtest' and AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
allow the '.' built-in to find to-be-sourced shell scripts in the 't/ax/'
directory automatically, we can simplify several usages like:
. "$am_testauxdir"/foo.sh
to just:
. foo.sh
Also, because our test scripts run with the 'errexit' flag active, and
because POSIX mandates that, when the '.' built-in is used,
... if no readable file is found, a non-interactive shell shall abort ...
We can do so with minimal churn, now that the early setup of $PATH in
both 'runtest' and AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT allow the '.' built-in to find
to-be-sourced shell scripts in 't/ax' automatically, both in in-tree
and VPATH builds.
With this change, we take another step forward a more rational and
"segregated" organization of our testsuite framework.
tests: update PATH early from AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT and runtest
Because the POSIX standards mandate that sourcing a file with ". FILE"
will cause FILE (assuming it is a relative containing no slashes) to be
looked for in PATH, such a move will allow us to simplify our sourcing
of shell testing libraries like (currently) 't/ax/test-init.sh' and
'defs', and to modularize and re-organize them better in the feature,
with minimal churn.
* runtest.in, Makefile.am (AM_TEST_ENVIRONMENT): Prepend $(abs_srcdir)/t/ax
and $(abs_builddir)/t/ax (in that order) to PATH; do so avoiding repetition
in the common case of non-VPATH builds.
runtest: export $srcdir for use by the test scripts
This is mostly a preparatory change in view of future ones. But it
also make the behaviour of runtest more similar to that of the test
harness used by "make check".
* runtest.in: Export srcdir (was already defined to '@srcdir@').
* gen-testsuite-part ($testauxdir): New, defined to "$testdir/ax".
Use it throughout, for better encapsulation and less duplication.
($auxdir): Remove as unneeded.
gen-tests: less hard-coding of 't' as the test directory
This will make life easier for us in case we decide to rename the
testsuite directory in the future (perhaps to something like 'tests',
which is somewhat less cryptic than the current 't').
* gen-testsuite-part ($testdir): New variable, used throughout instead
of hard-coding the name of the test directory to 't'.
All the script adjusted to make proper use of '$testdir'.
($auxdir): Move its definition earlier, for consistency with the one
of '$testdir'.
build: auxiliary testsuite files/scripts built by "make all"
This will allow the developers to run a tests case by hand out of
a newly extracted tarball simply doing:
$ ./configure && make
$ ./runtest t/the-test-case.sh
while before this change one has to resort to:
$ ./configure && make && make check TESTS=
$ ./runtest t/the-test-case.sh
or, with some non-GNU makes, even:
$ ./configure && make && make check TESTS= AM_MAKEFLAGS="TESTS="
$ ./runtest t/the-test-case.sh
This come very handy sometimes, especially when doing one-shot
debugging. Admittedly not a big deal, but one less friction in
the build system is always nice.
* Makefile.am (check_SCRIPTS, dist_check_DATA, nodist_check_DATA):
Move their content to ...
(noinst_SCRIPTS, dist_noinst_DATA, nodist_noinst_DATA): ... these
variables.
Adjust comments.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (handwritten_TESTS): Don't list ($perf_TESTS) in
here anymore.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add them explicitly.
(perf): New target, run the performance tests and save the logs of
the ones with unexpected results in the file 't/perf/test-suite.log',
which is thus ...
(PERF_TEST_SUITE_LOG): ... defined in this variable ...
(CLEANFILES): ... and added to this.
(test_subdirs): Remove 't/perf': the tests in there are no more
listed in $(TESTS).
* t/ax/test-init.sh: Don't explicitly skip "perf" test here.
runtest: pass *all* the given shell options to the test invocation
* runtest.in: Here. This didn't work previously because, in our
option parsing loop, we were mistakenly redefining '$shell_opts'
each time, instead of appending to it.
* defs-static.in: Here: do not state anymore that this file should execute
correctly with any system's /bin/sh shell, as this is not true anymore: the
testsuite assumes a POSIX shell throughout these days.
runtest: support option --shell, tell which shell should run the test
* runtest.in: Here. The same effect could have been obtained by
exporting AM_TEST_RUNNER_SHELL to the desired value, but the new
API is simpler and requires less typing and less thinking.
tests: avoid spurious failure when running as root
Fixes automake bug#12041.
* t/primary-prefix-couples-force-valid.sh: If run as root, don't expect
a "test -x" on a non-executable files to fail: for root, all files are
executable (as well as readable and writable), and at least on Solaris
10 that causes "test -x" to succeed also on non-executable files.
* t/dist-formats.tap: Here. Otherwise, some inferior awk implementations,
like OpenIndiana /usr/xpg4/bin/awk, could be confused and cause spurious
errors in the testsuite harness.
* lib/am/tags.am (am__define_uniq_tagged_files): New variable,
factor out some code common to ...
(ctags-am, tags-am, ID): ... the recipes of these targets.
tests: avoid a spurious failure with Solaris /bin/sh
The /bin/sh shell on Solaris is dumb enough not to set the exit
status to 127 after the execution of a non-existing command is
attempted:
$ /bin/sh -c 'nonesuch'; echo stat = $?
/bin/sh: nonesuch: not found
stat = 1
This means that the missing script, when run through that shell,
cannot discriminate between a real failure of a maintainer tool
and a failure due to its absence. This is not a big deal in
practice (especially because all the 'missing' invocations in
our Makefiles are done with $(SHELL), and that is almost surely
set by configure to a proper POSIX shell), but was causing an
annoying failure in our testsuite. Fix it.
* t/missing3.sh: If 'missing' is run with a /bin/sh shell suffering
from the just-described bug, skip the check that would spuriously
fail due to that bug.
* t/missing3.sh: Be sure to use 'run_cmd' also in the first invocation
of 'missing', to ensure the stderr will actually be saved in a file we
can later grep.
* maint:
self tests: avoid spurious failures on older bash

typofix: in a comment in the automake script

* t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Remove or rework few checks for use

existing checks stricter.
That test was checking for automake#7868 "parallel-tests and command-line
length limit issue". That bug is still open, and the tests was xfailing.
What concerns us is that the test was also causing an annoying problem.
On Solaris 10, it produced a '.log' file with two overly-long lines (more
than 1 million characters long!) and that was causing the test harness to
experience spurious failures, with Solaris XPG4 awk complaining that:
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk: line 0 (NR=734): Record too long (LIMIT: 19999 bytes)
A little consideration shows that the bug#7868 checked by the culprit
test cannot be solved "by accident", e.g., by another bug fix or some
simple refactoring, so there is little added value in keeping the xfailing
test for it, if this causes other problems (and we've seen it does).
So we just remove the test. In case we ever manage to fix the bug in
mainline automake, we can copy over the similar test(s) from Automake-NG,
which has actually managed to fix the bug (and have simpler test cases
for it).
* t/parallel-tests-many.sh: Delete.
* t/list-of-tests.mk (XFAIL_TESTS, handwritten_TESTS): Remove it.
check: support colorized testsuite output by default
Fixes automake bug#11855.
With this change, we make the 'color-tests' option enabled by default.
That option remains still silently accepted as a no-op, for backward
compatibility.
The developer of a package is still free to disable testsuite coloring on
a per-makefile basis (by adding "AM_COLOR_TESTS = no" to the Makefile.am)
or on a whole-project basis (by AC_SUBST'ing AM_COLOR_TESTS to "no" in
configure.ac). But now the user will be able to request the testsuite
output to be colorized, if he really wants to:
# With GNU make:
make AM_COLOR_TESTS=yes check
# With non-GNU make:
make AM_COLOR_TESTS=yes AM_MAKEFLAGS=AM_COLOR_TESTS=yes check
* NEWS: Update.
* doc/automake.texi: Updated, and some related minor reformatting
and rewording.
* automake.in (handle_tests): No need to pass the transform '%COLOR%'
when processing "check.am".
* lib/am/parallel-tests.am: Remove use of the '%?COLOR%' transform;
just act as if it were unconditionally TRUE.
* t/color.sh: No need to specify 'color-tests' in 'AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS'
nor in 'AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE'.
* t/ax/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: Likewise.
* t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh: Likewise.
* t/color2.sh: Likewise. Also, ensure that colorized testsuite output
can be disabled by default by calling "AC_SUBST([AM_COLOR_TESTS], [no])".
* t/tap-realtime.sh: Define 'AM_COLOR_TESTS' to "no" in Makefile.am, to
avoid spurious colorization of the output due to the use of the 'expect'
program.
* t/color-tests-opt.sh: New test, check that the 'color-tests' option is
still recognized as a no-op.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Add the new test.
tags: unify recursion for tags targets with that of "usual" targets
This change has a side effect: now any failure of the 'tags', 'ctags',
'cscope' and 'cscopelist' targets in a subdirectory will cause the
recursive command issued from the top directory to fail. We believe
that this behavioural change is not only justified by the simplification
this patch entails, but actually offers better semantics: ignoring
failures by default is never a good idea, and with make, the user can
anyway order the completion of commands in the face of possible failures
with the '-k' option.
* NEWS: Update.
* automake.in (%required_targets): Add keys 'cscopelist-am', 'tags-am'
and 'ctags-am'.
(handle_tags): Greatly simplified, the major part of the handling of
recursion for the 'tags', 'ctags' and 'cscopelist' now moved out to ...
* lib/am/tags.am: ... this file, that has been adjusted and extended
accordingly.
* t/maken3.sh: Remove testing of the 'TAGS' target, that is now just
an alias to 'tags'. Without this change, this test would spuriously
