Since [1] there has been no reason for keeping "git env--helper" a
built-in. The reason it was a built-in to begin with was to support
the GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON mode removed in that commit. I.e. unlike
the rest of "test-tool" it would potentially be called by the
installed git via "git-sh-i18n.sh".
As none of that applies since [1] we should stop carrying this
technical debt, and move it to t/helper/*. As this mostly move-only
change shows this has the nice bonus that we'll stop wasting time
translating the internal-only strings it emits.
Even though this was a built-in, it was intentionally never
documented, see its introduction in [2]. It never saw use outside of
the test suite, except for the "GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON" use-case
noted above.

Use `git diff --no-index` as a test_cmp on Windows.
We'd probably need to revisit "do we really want to, and have to,
lose CRLF vs LF?" later, at which time we may be able to further
clean this up by replacing "git diff --no-index" with "diff -u".

It can be helpful to check that a file format with a trailing hash has a
specific hash in the final bytes of a written file. This is made more
apparent by recent changes that allow skipping the hash algorithm and
writing a null hash at the end of the file instead.
Add a new test_trailing_hash helper and use it in t1600 to verify that
index.skipHash=true really does skip the hash computation, since
'git fsck' does not actually verify the hash. This confirms that when
the config is disabled explicitly in a super project but enabled in a
submodule, then the use of repo_config_get_bool() loads config from the
correct repository in the case of 'git add'. There are other cases where
istate->repo is NULL and thus this config is loaded instead from
the_repository, but that's due to many different code paths initializing
index_state structs in their own way.
Keep the 'git fsck' call to ensure that any potential future change to
check the index hash does not cause an error in this case.

The previous change allowed for a Git server to advertise the
'bundle-uri' command as a capability based on the
uploadPack.advertiseBundleURIs config option. Create a set of tests that
check that this capability is advertised using 'git ls-remote'.
In order to test this functionality across three protocols (file, git,
and http), create lib-bundle-uri-protocol.sh to generalize the tests,
allowing the other test scripts to set an environment variable and
otherwise inherit the setup and tests from this script.
The tests currently only test that the 'bundle-uri' command is
advertised or not. Other actions will be tested as the Git client learns
to request the 'bundle-uri' command and parse its response.
To help with URI escaping, specifically for file paths with a space in
them, extract a 'sed' invocation from t9199-git-svn-info.sh into a
helper function for use here, too.

Unlike other test helper functions, 'test_oid' doesn't terminate its
output with a LF, but, alas, the reason for this, if any, is not
mentioned in 2c02b110da (t: add test functions to translate
hash-related values, 2018-09-13)).
Now, in the vast majority of cases 'test_oid' is invoked in a command
substitution that is part of a heredoc or supplies an argument to a
command or the value to a variable, and the command substitution would
chop off any trailing LFs, so in these cases the lack or presence of a
trailing LF in its output doesn't matter. However:
- There appear to be only three cases where 'test_oid' is not
invoked in a command substitution:
$ git grep '\stest_oid ' -- ':/t/*.sh'
t0000-basic.sh: test_oid zero >actual &&
t0000-basic.sh: test_oid zero >actual &&
t0000-basic.sh: test_oid zero >actual &&
These are all in test cases checking that 'test_oid' actually
works, and that the size of its output matches the size of the
corresponding hash function with conditions like
test $(wc -c <actual) -eq 40
In these cases the lack of trailing LF does actually matter,
though they could be trivially updated to account for the presence
of a trailing LF.
- There are also a few cases where the lack of trailing LF in
'test_oid's output actually hurts, because tests need to compare
its output with LF terminated file contents, forcing developers to
invoke it as 'echo $(test_oid ...)' to append the missing LF:
$ git grep 'echo "\?$(test_oid ' -- ':/t/*.sh'
t1302-repo-version.sh: echo $(test_oid version) >expect &&
t1500-rev-parse.sh: echo "$(test_oid algo)" >expect &&
t4044-diff-index-unique-abbrev.sh: echo "$(test_oid val1)" > foo &&
t4044-diff-index-unique-abbrev.sh: echo "$(test_oid val2)" > foo &&
t5313-pack-bounds-checks.sh: echo $(test_oid oidfff) >file &&
And there is yet another similar case in an in-flight topic at:
https://public-inbox.org/git/813e81a058227bd373cec802e443fcd677042fb4.1670862677.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/
Arguably we would be better off if 'test_oid' terminated its output
with a LF. So let's update 'test_oid' accordingly, update its tests
in t0000 to account for the extra character in those size tests, and
remove the now unnecessary 'echo $(...)' command substitutions around
'test_oid' invocations as well.

When Git's test suite uses `test_cmp`, it is not actually trying to
compare binary files as the name `cmp` would suggest to users familiar
with Unix' tools, but the tests instead verify that actual output
matches the expected text.
On Unix, `cmp` works well enough for Git's purposes because only Line
Feed characters are used as line endings. However, on Windows, while
most tools accept Line Feeds as line endings, many tools produce
Carriage Return + Line Feed line endings, including some of the tools
used by the test suite (which are therefore provided via Git for Windows
SDK). Therefore, `cmp` would frequently fail merely due to different
line endings.
To accommodate for that, the `mingw_test_cmp` function was introduced
into Git's test suite to perform a line-by-line comparison that ignores
line endings. This function is a Bash function that is only used on
Windows, everywhere else `cmp` is used.
This is a double whammy because `cmp` is fast, and `mingw_test_cmp` is
slow, even more so on Windows because it is a Bash script function, and
Bash scripts are known to run particularly slowly on Windows due to
Bash's need for the POSIX emulation layer provided by the MSYS2 runtime.
The commit message of 32ed3314c1 (t5351: avoid using `test_cmp` for
binary data, 2022-07-29) provides an illuminating account of the
consequences: On Windows, the platform on which Git could really use all
the help it can get to improve its performance, the time spent on one
entire test script was reduced from half an hour to less than half a
minute merely by avoiding a single call to `mingw_test_cmp` in but a
single test case.
Learning the lesson to avoid shell scripting wherever possible, the Git
for Windows project implemented a minimal replacement for
`mingw_test_cmp` in the form of a `test-tool` subcommand that parses the
input files line by line, ignoring line endings, and compares them.
Essentially the same thing as `mingw_test_cmp`, but implemented in
C instead of Bash. This solution served the Git for Windows project
well, over years.
However, when this solution was finally upstreamed, the conclusion was
reached that a change to use `git diff --no-index` instead of
`mingw_test_cmp` was more easily reviewed and hence should be used
instead.
The reason why this approach was not even considered in Git for Windows
is that in 2007, there was already a motion on the table to use Git's
own diff machinery to perform comparisons in Git's test suite, but it
was dismissed in https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqbkrpo9or.fsf@gitster.g/
as undesirable because tests might potentially succeed due to bugs in
the diff machinery when they should not succeed, and those bugs could
therefore hide regressions that the tests try to prevent.
By the time Git for Windows' `mingw-test-cmp` in C was finally
contributed to the Git mailing list, reviewers agreed that the diff
machinery had matured enough and should be used instead.
When the concern was raised that the diff machinery, due to its
complexity, would perform substantially worse than the test helper
originally implemented in the Git for Windows project, a test
demonstrated that these performance differences are well lost within the
100+ minutes it takes to run Git's test suite on Windows.

`test_path_is_missing` was introduced back in 2caf20c52b ("test-lib:
user-friendly alternatives to test [-d|-f|-e]", 2010-08-10). It took the
path that was supposed to be missing, as well as an optional "diagnosis"
that would be echoed if the path was found to be alive.
Commit 45a2686441 ("test-lib-functions: remove bug-inducing
"diagnostics" helper param", 2021-02-12) dropped this diagnostic
functionality from several `test_path_is_foo` helpers, but note how it
tweaked the README entry on `test_path_is_missing` without actually
adjusting its implementation.
Commit e7884b353b ("test-lib-functions: assert correct parameter count",
2021-02-12) then followed up by asserting that we get just a single
argument.
This history leaves us in a state where we assert that we have exactly
one argument, then go on to anyway check for arguments, echoing them
all. It's clear that we can simplify this code. We should also note that
we run `ls -ld "$1"`, so printing the filename a second time doesn't
really buy us anything. Thus, we can drop the whole `if` block as
redundant.

the variable value from 'test_commit' will leak back into the test and
most likely break it.

This change introduces the 'parse-key-values' subcommand, which parses

We use an input file instead of stdin because of a future change to
parse in config-file format that works better as an input file.

Remove the "test_external" function added in [1]. This arguably makes
the output of t9700-perl-git.sh and friends worse. But as we'll argue
below the trade-off is worth it, since "chaining" to another TAP
emitter in test-lib.sh is more trouble than it's worth.
The new output of t9700-perl-git.sh is now:
$ ./t9700-perl-git.sh
ok 1 - set up test repository
ok 2 - use t9700/test.pl to test Git.pm
# passed all 2 test(s)
1..2
Whereas before this change it would be:
$ ./t9700-perl-git.sh
ok 1 - set up test repository
# run 1: Perl API (perl /home/avar/g/git/t/t9700/test.pl)
ok 2 - use Git;
[... omitting tests 3..46 from t/t9700/test.pl ...]
ok 47 - unquote escape sequences
1..47
# test_external test Perl API was ok
# test_external_without_stderr test no stderr: Perl API was ok
At the time of its addition supporting "test_external" was easy, but
when test-lib.sh itself started to emit TAP in [2] we needed to make
everything surrounding the emission of the plan consider
"test_external". I added that support in [2] so that we could run:
prove ./t9700-perl-git.sh :: -v
But since then in [3] the door has been closed on combining
$HARNESS_ACTIVE and -v, we'll now just die:
$ prove ./t9700-perl-git.sh :: -v
Bailout called. Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log
FAILED--Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log
So the only use of this has been that *if* we had failure in one of
these tests we could e.g. in CI see which test failed based on the
test number. Now we'll need to look at the full verbose logs to get
that same information.
I think this trade-off is acceptable given the reduction in
complexity, and it brings these tests in line with other similar
tests, e.g. the reftable tests added in [4] will be condensed down to
just one test, which invokes the C helper:
$ ./t0032-reftable-unittest.sh
ok 1 - unittests
# passed all 1 test(s)
1..1
It would still be nice to have that ":: -v" form work again, it
never *really* worked, but even though we've had edge cases test
output screwing up the TAP it mostly worked between d998bd4ab6 and
[3], so we may have been overzealous in forbidding it outright.
I have local patches which I'm planning to submit sooner than later
that get us to that goal, and in a way that isn't buggy. In the
meantime getting rid of this special case makes hacking on this area
of test-lib.sh easier, as we'll do in subsequent commits.
The switch from "perl" to "$PERL_PATH" here is because "perl" is
defined as a shell function in the test suite, see a5bf824f3b (t:
prevent '-x' tracing from interfering with test helpers' stderr,
2018-02-25). On e.g. the OSX CI the "command perl"... will be part of

on an initial set of arguments. The inexactness was intended as a way to
allow flexible options beyond that initial set, as opposed to
test_subcommand() which requires that the full list of options is
provided in its entirety.
The implementation began by copying test_subcommand() and replaced the
repeated argument 'printf' statement to append ".*" instead of "," to
each argument. This caused it to be more flexible than initially
intended.
The previous change deleted the only use of test_subcommand_inexact, so
instead of editing the helper, delete it.

This wrapper:

- Takes a name like "update" instead of ".git/hooks/update".
- Accepts -C <dir>, like "test_config" and "test_commit".
By using a wrapper we'll be able to easily change all the hook-related
code that assumes that the template-created ".git/hooks" directory is
created by "init", "clone" etc. once another topic follows-up and
changes the test suite to stop creating trash directories using those
templates.
In addition this will make it easy to have the hooks configured using
the "configuration-based hooks" topic, once we get around to
integrating that. I.e. we'll be able to run the tests in a mode where
we sometimes create a .git/hooks/<name>, and other times create a

pack-objects' child process, ensuring that we create a packfile
containing all reachable objects.
In the world of multi-pack-index bitmaps, we no longer need to repack
all objects into a single pack to have valid bitmaps. Thus, we should
continue sending the '--honor-pack-keep' flag to 'git pack-objects'.
The fix is very simple: only disable the flag when writing bitmaps but
also _not_ writing the multi-pack-index.
This opens the door to new repacking strategies that might want to keep
some historical set of objects in a stable pack-file while only
repacking more recent objects.
To test, create a new 'test_subcommand_inexact' helper that is more
flexible than 'test_subcommand'. This allows us to look for the
--honor-pack-keep flag without over-indexing on the exact set of
arguments.

In certain environments or for specific test scenarios we might expect a
specific prerequisite check to succeed. Therefore we would like to abort
running our tests if this is not the case.
To remedy this we add the environment variable GIT_TEST_REQUIRE_PREREQ
which can be set to a space separated list of prereqs. If one of these
prereq tests fail then the whole test run will abort.

The 'debug' function in test-lib-functions.sh is used to invoke a
debugger at a specific line in a test. It inherits the value of HOME and
TERM set by 'test-lib.sh': HOME="$TRASH_DIRECTORY" and TERM=dumb.
Changing the value of HOME means that any customization configured in a
developers' debugger configuration file (like $HOME/.gdbinit or
$HOME/.lldbinit) are not available in the debugger invoked by
'test_pause'.
Changing the value of TERM to 'dumb' means that colored output
is disabled in the debugger.
To make the debugging experience with 'debug' more pleasant, leverage
the variable USER_HOME, added in the previous commit, to copy a
developer's ~/.gdbinit and ~/.lldbinit to the test HOME. We do not set
HOME to USER_HOME as in 'test_pause' to avoid user configuration in
$USER_HOME/.gitconfig from interfering with the command being debugged.
Also, add a flag to launch the debugger with the original value of
TERM, and add the same warning as for 'test_pause'.

The 'test_pause' function, which is designed to help interactive
debugging and exploration of tests, currently inherits the value of HOME
and TERM set by 'test-lib.sh': HOME="$TRASH_DIRECTORY" and TERM=dumb. It
also invokes the shell defined by TEST_SHELL_PATH, which defaults to
/bin/sh (through SHELL_PATH).
Changing the value of HOME means that any customization configured in a
developers' shell startup files and any Git aliases defined in their
global Git configuration file are not available in the shell invoked by
'test_pause'.
Changing the value of TERM to 'dumb' means that colored output
is disabled for all commands in that shell.
Using /bin/sh as the shell invoked by 'test_pause' is not ideal since
some platforms (i.e. Debian and derivatives) use Dash as /bin/sh, and
this shell is usually compiled without readline support, which makes for
a poor interactive command line experience.
To make the interactive command line experience in the shell invoked by
'test_pause' more pleasant, save the values of HOME and TERM in
USER_HOME and USER_TERM before changing them in test-lib.sh, and add
options to 'test_pause' to optionally use these variables to invoke the
shell. Also add an option to invoke SHELL instead of TEST_SHELL_PATH, so
that developer's interactive shell is used.
We use options instead of changing the behaviour unconditionally since
these three variables can slightly change command behaviour. Moreover,
using the original HOME means commands could overwrite files in a user's
home directory. Be explicit about these caveats in the new 'Usage'
section in test-lib-functions.sh.
Finally, add '[options]' to the test_pause synopsys in t/README, and
mention that the full list of helper functions and their options can be
found in test-lib-functions.sh.

made it easy to use a different shell for the tests than 'SHELL_PATH'
used at compile time. But 'test_pause' still invokes 'SHELL_PATH'.
If TEST_SHELL_PATH is set, invoke that shell in 'test_pause' for
consistency.

Tests that cover protocol bits have been updated and helpers
used there have been consolidated.
* ab/pkt-line-tests:
test-lib-functions: use test-tool for [de]packetize()
The shell+perl "[de]packetize()" helper functions were added in
4414a15002 (t/lib-git-daemon: add network-protocol helpers,
2018-01-24), and around the same time we added the "pkt-line" helper
in 74e7002961 (test-pkt-line: introduce a packet-line test helper,
2018-03-14).
For some reason it seems we've mostly used the shell+perl version
instead of the helper since then. There were discussions around
88124ab263 (test-lib-functions: make packetize() more efficient,
2020-03-27) and cacae4329f (test-lib-functions: simplify packetize()
stdin code, 2020-03-29) to improve them and make them more efficient.
There was one good reason to do so, we needed an equivalent of
"test-tool pkt-line pack", but that command wasn't capable of handling
input with "\n" (a feature) or "\0" (just because it happens to be
printf-based under the hood).
Let's add a "pkt-line-raw" helper for that, and expose is at a
packetize_raw() to go with the existing packetize() on the shell
level, this gives us the smallest amount of change to the tests
themselves.

Some test scripts assumed that readlink(1) was universally
installed and available, which is not the case.
* jk/test-without-readlink-1:
t: use portable wrapper for readlink(1)
In some tests, we're checking the number of lines in output of some
commands, including but not limited to Git's command.
We're doing the check by running those commands in the left side of
a pipe, thus losing the exit status code of those commands. Meanwhile,
we really want to check the exit status code of Git's command.
Let's write the output of those commands to a temporary file, and use
test_line_count separately in order to check exit status code of
those commands properly.

Not all systems have a readlink program available for use by the shell.
This causes t3210 to fail on at least AIX. Let's provide a perl
one-liner to do the same thing, and use it there.
I also updated calls in t9802. Nobody reported failure there, but it's
the same issue. Presumably nobody actually tests with p4 on AIX in the
first place (if it is even available there).
I left the use of readlink in the "--valgrind" setup in test-lib.sh, as
valgrind isn't available on exotic platforms anyway (and I didn't want
to increase dependencies between test-lib.sh and test-lib-functions.sh).
There's one other curious case. Commit d2addc3b96 (t7800: readlink may
not be available, 2016-05-31) fixed a similar case. We can't use our
wrapper function there, though, as it's inside a sub-script triggered by
Git. It uses a slightly different technique ("ls" piped to "sed"). I
chose not to use that here as it gives confusing "ls -l" output if the
file is unexpectedly not a symlink (which is OK for its limited use, but
potentially confusing for general use within the test suite). The perl
version emits the empty string.

Test clean-up.

test-lib tests: remove dead GIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_SELFTEST variable
test-lib: bring $remove_trash out of retirement
Remove various redundant or obsolete code from the test_create_repo()
function, and split up its use in test-lib.sh from what tests need
from it.
This leave us with a pass-through wrapper for "git init" in
test-lib-functions.sh, in test-lib.sh we have the same, except for
needing to redirect stdout/stderr, and emitting an error ourselves if
it fails. We don't need to error() ourselves when test_create_repo()
is invoked, as the invocation will be a part of a test's "&&"-chain.
Everything below this paragraph is a detailed summary of the history
of test_create_repo() explaining why it's safe to remove the various
things it was doing:
1. "mkdir -p" isn't needed because "git init" itself will create
leading directories if needed.
2. Since we're now a simple wrapper for "git init" we don't need to
check that we have only one argument. If someone wants to run
"test_create_repo --bare x" that's OK.
3. We won't ever hit that "Cannot setup test environment"
error.
Checking the test environment sanity when doing "git init" dates
back to eea420693b (t0000: catch trivial pilot errors.,
2005-12-10) and 2ccd2027b0 (trivial: check, if t/trash directory
was successfully created, 2006-01-05).
We can also see it in another form a bit later in my own
0d314ce834 (test-lib: use subshell instead of cd $new && .. && cd
$old, 2010-08-30).
But since 2006f0adae (t/test-lib: make sure Git has already been
built, 2012-09-17) we already check if we have a built git
earlier.
The one thing this was testing after that 2012 change was that
we'd just built "git", but not "git-init", but since
3af4c7156c (tests: respect GIT_TEST_INSTALLED when initializing
repositories, 2018-11-12) we invoke "git", not "git-init".
So all of that's been checked already, and we don't need to
re-check it here.
4. We don't need to move .git/hooks out of the way.
That dates back to c09a69a83e (Disable hooks during tests.,
2005-10-16), since then hooks became disabled by default in
f98f8cbac0 (Ship sample hooks with .sample suffix, 2008-06-24).
So the hooks were already disabled by default, but as can be seen
from "mkdir .git/hooks" changes various tests needed to re-setup
that directory. Now they no longer do.
This makes us implicitly depend on the default hooks being
disabled, which is a good thing. If and when we'd have any
on-by-default hooks (I see no reason we ever would) we'd want to
see the subtle and not so subtle ways that would break the test
suite.
5. We don't need to "cd" to the "$repo" directory at all anymore.
In the code being removed here we both "cd"'d to the repository
before calling "init", and did so in a subshell.
It's not important to do either, so both of those can be
removed. We cd'd because this code grew from test-lib.sh code
where we'd have done so already, see eedf8f97e5 (Abstract
test_create_repo out for use in tests., 2006-02-17), and later
"cd"'d inside a subshell since 0d314ce834 to avoid having to keep
track of an "old pwd" variable to cd back after the setup.
Being in the repository directory made moving the hooks around
easier (we wouldn't have to fully qualify the path). Since we're
not moving the hooks per #4 above we don't need to "cd" for that
reason either.
6. We can drop the --template argument and instead rely on the
GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR set to the same path earlier in test-lib.sh. See
8683a45d66 (Introduce GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR, 2006-12-19)
7. We only needed that ">&3 2>&4" redirection when invoked from
test-lib.sh.
We could still invoke test_create_repo() there, but as the
invocation is now trivial and we don't have a good reason to use
test_create_repo() elsewhere let's call "git init" there
ourselves.
8. We didn't need to resolve "git" as
"${GIT_TEST_INSTALLED:-$GIT_EXEC_PATH}/git$X" in test_create_repo(),
even for the use of test-lib.sh
PATH is already set up in test-lib.sh to start with
GIT_TEST_INSTALLED and/or GIT_EXEC_PATH before
test_create_repo() (now "git init") is called.. So we can simply
run "git" and rely on the PATH lookup choosing the right
executable.

Arrange for the advice about naming the initial branch not to be shown
in the --verbose output of the test suite.
Since 675704c74d (init: provide useful advice about
init.defaultBranch, 2020-12-11) some tests have been very chatty with
repeated occurrences of this multi-line advice. Having it be this
verbose isn't helpful for anyone in the context of git's own test
suite, and it makes debugging tests that use their own "git init"
invocations needlessly distracting.
By setting the GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME variable early in
test-lib.sh itself we'll squash the warning not only for
test_create_repo(), as 675704c74d explicitly intended, but also for
other "git init" invocations.
And once we'd like to have this configuration set for all "git init"
invocations in the test suite we can get rid of the init.defaultBranch
configuration setting in test_create_repo(), as
repo_default_branch_name() in refs.c will take the GIT_TEST_* variable
over it being set.

Add a --printf option to test_commit to allow writing to the file with
"printf" instead of "echo".
This is useful for writing "\n", "\0" etc., in particular in
combination with the --append option added in 3373518cc8 (test-lib
functions: add an --append option to test_commit, 2021-01-12).
I'm converting a few tests to use the new option rather than a manual
printf/add/commit combination to demonstrate its usefulness. While I'm
at it use "test_create_repo" where appropriate, and give the
first/second commit a meaningful/more conventional log message in
cases where no test cared about that message.
