* tests: simpler workaround for shells losing the exit status in exit trapStefano Lattarini2012-06-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we can assume our tests are run by a decent POSIX shell, we can simplify our workaround aimed at having the exit status propagated correctly to the code in the exit trap. Unfortunately, we cannot dispense with such a workaround altogether, because it's still required by some shells we need to support (at least Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh). For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the Autoconf manual: <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap> The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following shells: - Bash 4.1 - Bash 3.2 - Bash 3.0 - Bash 2.05b - dash 0.5.5.1 - dash 0.5.2 - AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package) - MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package) - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh - Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh - NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh * t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ... (_am_exit): ... like this. (exit): New alias for '_am_exit'. We cannot simply redefine 'exit' as a shell function, because some shells (dash 0.5.5.1, Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) do not allow it. (_am_exit, trap): Add extra escaping for 'exit' calls, to ensure we really invoke the 'exit' builtin and not our alias with the same name. * configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run our testsuite supports aliases named like shell builtins. * t/REAMDE: Adjust. * All tests: Adjust, by simply using 'exit' instead of 'Exit'. * t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust: the first usage of 'exit' after it has been redefined as an alias must be on a new line w.r.t. that where the alias is defined, in order for the redefinition to be honored. * syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Delete. (sc_tests_exit_not_Exit): New. (syntax_check_rules): Adjust. (sc_tests_automake_fails): Simplify the recipe a little. * Several tests: Remove now useless spurious quoting once required to placate the 'sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check. * gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. Also, avoid uses of 'Exit' in the generated scripts. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
* tests: use more POSIX shell features our test scriptsStefano Lattarini2012-06-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 'v1.12-36-g2d68fd9' of 2012-05-07, "configure: search a sturdy POSIX shell to be used in the testsuite", the shell running our test script is assured to be a POSIX-conforming shell, so we can use the more modern and flexible idioms and features that we couldn't use when we also aimed at compatibility with non-POSIX Bourne shells, like Solaris /bin/sh. * t/README: Suggest to use POSIX shell features liberally in test cases, with possible exception of Makefile recipes and configure shell code. * Several tests: Adjust to use more POSIX shell features; e.g., $(...) rather than `...`, $((...)) rather than `expr ...`, "if ! CMD; then ..." instead of "if CMD; then :; else ...", and so on. In several places, when using the 'test' built-in, prefer '-eq' over '=' for numeric comparisons, and prefer "grep -c PATTERN FILE" over "grep PATTERN FILE | wc -l". Throw in other low-hanging easy improvements and fixlets while we are at it. * t/ax/depcomp.sh, t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh, t/ax/tap-functions.sh, defs, defs-static.in: Likewise.

* tests: rename 'tests/' => 't/', '*.test' => '*.sh'Stefano Lattarini2012-04-061-0/+51
When we (soon) convert the Automake testsuite to a non-recursive make setup, we'll have to fix the entries of $(TESTS) to be prepended with the subdirectory they are in; this will increase the length of $(TESTS), and thus increase the possibility of exceeding the command-line length limits on some systems (most notably, MinGW/MSYS). See automake bug#7868 for more information. Thus we rename the 'tests/' subdirectory to 't/', and each 'x.test' script in there to 'x.sh'; this way, the $(TESTS) entry 'foo.test' will become 't/foo.sh', which have the same number of characters. * tests/: Rename ... * t/: ... to this. * t/*.test: Rename ... * t/*.sh: ... to this. * t/.gitignore: Removed as obsolete. * t/defs: Adjust. * t/gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. * t/list-of-tests.mk: Likewise. * t/ccnoco.sh: Likewise. * t/ccnoco3.sh: Likewise. * t/self-check-cleanup.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-dir.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-me.tap: Likewise. * t/self-check-reexec.tap: Likewise. * README: Likewise. * bootstrap: Likewise * configure.ac: Likewise. * Makefile.am: Likewise. * .gitignore: Likewise. * syntax-check.mk: Likewise.
