test harness: use new `.trs' files to hold test metadata With this change, the test harness will keep test metadata in dedicated `.trs' files, instead of having them embedded into the `.log' files. This allows for easier forward-compatibility and extension of test metadata, and for more flexibility in the format of the `.log' files. Note that this change makes the `:end-metadata:' field obsolete. * doc/automake.texi (Parallel Test Harness, Log files generation and test results recording): Document the new APIs and behaviour; some related minor rewordings and fixlets. * NEWS: Update. * automake.in (handle_tests): When bringing in the content of `check2.am', substitute %BASE% with the basename of the `.log' file being created by a rule. Add the generated `.trs' files to the list of files to be cleaned by "make mostlyclean". * lib/am/check.am (am__test_driver_flags): Rename ... (am__common_driver_flags): ... to this, and remove the flags `--test-name' and `--log-file' from it: they are now define in the proper rules in `check2.am'. (am__TEST_BASES): New internal variable, holding the names of the tests, with any registered extension removed. (am__stealth_MAKE): New internal variable, can be used instead of $(MAKE) in recipes requiring a recursive call to make, but which are not intended to be executed by "make -n". (.log.trs): New suffix rule, to recover from deletion of `.trs' files. ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Almost completely rewritten to follow the new API of "test logs in `.log' files, test metadata in `.trs' files". It goes to some length to work correctly in face of unreadable or missing `.log' and `.trs' files, and to error out with proper error messages when this is not possible. [%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] (check-TESTS): Also remove relevant "stale" `.trs' files (in addition to `.log files) before remaking the $(TEST_SUITE_LOG). (recheck, recheck-html): Look for the `:recheck:' field in the `.trs' files, not in the `.log' files. * lib/am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%.log, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Adjust the call to the test driver, in particularly passing the new option `--trs-file'. [%am__EXEEXT%] (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log): Likewise. * lib/tap-driver ($USAGE): Adjust the help screen. (Getopt::Long::GetOptions): Handle the `--trs-file' option, through the use of ... ($trs_file): ... this new global variable. (finish): Write metadata for the test run to `$trs_file' rather then to `$log_file', through the use of ... (write_test_results): ... this new function. * lib/test-driver (print_usage): Update the help screen. (Option parsing): Handle the `--trs-file' option, through the use of ... ($resfile): ... this new global variable. (Main code): Write metadata for the test run to `$trsfile' rather than to `$logfile'. Minor related adjustments to comments. * tests/.gitignore: Ignore `*.trs' files. * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: Moved ... * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable.test: ... to this, and extended to also check the semantics for unreadable `.trs' files. * tests/test-driver-end-metadata.test: Deleted as obsolete. * tests/test-driver-metadata-no-leading-space.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-global-log.test: Renamed ... * tests/test-metadata-global-log.test: ... to this, and modified as to verify the new APIs and semantics. * tests/test-driver-recheck: Renamed ... * tests/test-metadata-recheck.test: ... to this, and modified likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-once.test: New test. * tests/parallel-tests-make-n.test: Likewise. * test-metadata-results.test: Likewise. * test-missing.test: Likewise. * test-missing2.test: Likewise. * test-trs-basic.test: Likewise. * test-trs-recover.test: Likewise. * test-trs-recover2.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
