Stefano Lattarini 96497293 2012-06-01T19:15:29 maint: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input It has been years since that has been deprecated in the documentation, in favour of 'configure.ac': Previous versions of Autoconf promoted the name configure.in, which is somewhat ambiguous (the tool needed to process this file is not described by its extension), and introduces a slight confusion with config.h.in and so on (for which '.in' means "to be processed by configure"). Using configure.ac is now preferred. It's now time to start giving runtime warning about the use of 'configure.in', so that support for it can be removed in future versions of autoconf/automake. See also, in the Autoconf repository, commit 'v2.69-4-g560f16b' of 2012-05-23, "general: deprecate 'configure.in' as autoconf input". * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Issue a warning in the 'obsolete' category if 'configure.in' is detected. Since this module is synced from Automake, this change is to be backported there (and will be soon). * t/help.sh: Adjust. * t/configure.sh: Adjust and enhance.

Stefano Lattarini 8ea72c74 2012-04-27T16:27:08 build: ensure release year in copyright notice is up-to-date From a suggestion by Eric Blake. See automake bug#11356. This is a follow-up to previous patch 'v1.12-12-gb99b5be'. * configure.ac (RELEASE_YEAR): New AC_SUBST'd variable, should hold the value of the current year. * Makefile.am (update-copyright): Be sure to also update the definition of 'RELEASE_YEAR' in configure.ac. * lib/Automake/Config.in ($RELEASE_YEAR): New exported variable, initialized from the value substituted for '@RELEASE_YEAR@'. (@EXPORT): Add it. * automake.in, aclocal.in: Use '$RELEASE_YEAR' (which will be substituted at make time) instead of hard-coding the release year. This should ensure the copyright range in the version message and in the generated files (Makefile.in and aclocal.m4) are automatically kept up-to-date. * bootstrap (dosubst): Update, also substitute '@RELEASE_YEAR@'.

Stefano Lattarini feeb7f6a 2012-03-28T17:03:25 maint: reduce use of recursion in automake build system Recursive make-based build systems tend to be slower, more fragile and less faithful than "flat" ones. See Peter Miller's article "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" for more a more in-depth discussion: <http://miller.emu.id.au/pmiller/books/rmch/> While in the case of automake this isn't a big problem (given the small size of its build systems), it still creates occasional glitches and annoyances. So, with this change, we start making less use of make recursion in the Automake's own build system (future changes will reduce it even more). * lib/am/Makefile.am, lib/Automake/Makefile.am: Removed, their content merged ... * lib/Makefile.am: ... here, with required adjustments. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Update.

Stefano Lattarini ddac0505 2012-03-07T23:26:24 getopt: relax version requirement for perl * lib/Automake/Getopt.pm: Require perl 5.6.0, not 5.6.2: the former is enough. See also commit 'v1.11-2054-g7df05a0' on master (dated 04-03-2012).
Peter Rosin 3a814608 2012-03-07T21:08:06 Merge branch 'msvc' into maint This merge remedies the confusing situation that some changes destined for both the master branch and the release branch (a.k.a. branch-1.11) currently needs to be made on the non-obvious msvc branch and not on the more natural maint branch. This has caused a seemingly endless string of less than optimal commits. The reason for the confusion stems from the fact that the changes made on the msvc branch became too radical and was considered only suitable for the master branch, and was thus written in a form suitable for master and then merged there. Later, the msvc branch was merged directly into branch-1.11, in order to rush the new features to the market and to keep the released scripts (lib/ar-lib, lib/compile and lib/depcomp) consistent with those on the master branch. However, some changes had to be made to the features added by the msvc branch in order for them to fit the requirements of branch-1.11, notably that the warnings issued in the extra-portability class cannot be enabled by -Wall in the 1.11.x maintenance releases. In retrospect, it would have been better to not merge msvc directly into branch-1.11, but instead do it via the maint branch (followed up with a dummy merge from maint into master) the moment it was decided that the msvc changes should make it into branch-1.11. All in all, this merge is going to affect neither the master branch nor branch-1.11, since it is followed up with dummy merges masking all changes. The merge is made to maintain the sanity of the poor developers, who wishes to once again have a working maint branch. Discussion about merging the msvc branch into branch-1.11: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-10/msg00030.html Discussion about why this merge hasn't happened before: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-12/msg00051.html Extra edits below. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Use the version from branch-1.11. * tests/ar-lib3.test: Likewise. * tests/ar-lib4.test: Likewise. * tests/extra-portability.test: Likewise. * tests/extra-portability2.test: Likewise. * tests/extradep.test: Likewise. * tests/extradep2.test: Likewise. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Likewise. * HACKING: Backport the version from branch-1.11 while at it (as the change on branch-1.11 is also present on master via an unrelated commit), even though this change has nothing to do with the changes on the msvc branch.
Stefano Lattarini 74a7f492 2012-03-04T16:00:58 maint: drop 'Automake::Struct' module Now that we require Perl 5.6, we can drop the 'Automake::Struct' module, which was basically just a backport of Perl 5.6's 'Class::Struct' to Perl 5.5. * automake.in: Use 'Class::Struct', not 'Automake::Struct'. * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Delete. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (dist_perllib_DATA): Remove it.
Stefano Lattarini 7df05a0b 2012-03-04T15:44:46 maint: require perl 5.6 throughout That version of perl is quite old already, so it should be OK to require it. More importantly, it is the older perl versions the developers can currently use for testing, thus it's safer and more honest to just require it throughout. And anyway, we were already requiring it in Automake::Getopt, which implied that both automake and aclocal wouldn't have worked in practice with an older perl version. See also the discussion related to automake bug#10925. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm: Adjusted to require perl 5.6. * lib/Automake/Channels.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Condition.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/General.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Item.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/ItemDef.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Location.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Options.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Rule.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/RuleDef.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Struct.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/VarDef.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Variable.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Version.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/Wrap.pm: Likewise. * lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini 00eb4ac9 2012-02-24T14:35:06 refactor: in Automake::Options (no semantic change) * lib/Automake/Options.pm: Prefer leading spaces to leading tabs throughout. Minor whitespace and comment changes. (_process_option_list): Simple refactoring to make the code more pleasant to read and easier to modify in the future.

Stefano Lattarini 3e887a13 2012-02-23T20:25:26 pm: do not quote `like this', as per GCS recommendation This patch converts the internal perl modules used by automake and aclocal to the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this" rather than `like this'. * lib/Automake/ChannelDefs.pm, lib/Automake/Channels.pm, lib/Automake/Condition.pm, lib/Automake/Configure_ac.pm, lib/Automake/DisjConditions.pm, lib/Automake/FileUtils.pm, lib/Automake/General.pm, lib/Automake/Item.pm, lib/Automake/Rule.pm, lib/Automake/Getopt.pm, lib/Automake/Options.pm, lib/Automake/Struct.pm, lib/Automake/VarDef.pm, lib/Automake/Variable.pm, lib/Automake/Version.pm, lib/Automake/XFile.pm: Update and adjust quoting format throughout, in comments and diagnostic. Some minor related rewordings and reformatting since we are at it.
Stefano Lattarini deb77738 2012-02-20T18:33:50 automake: new option 'serial-tests' Currently, automake offers a 'parallel-tests' option to enable the use of the parallel testsuite harness in the generated Makefiles, but no option to explicitly state the intention of using the older serial testsuite driver (which is currently the default). This makes the parallel test harness seems like a second-class citizen (while actually it should be the other way around); more importantly, it will prevent us from making the parallel harness be the default one in future automake versions, since the users of the serial harness would then have no way to instruct automake to continue using it. We solve all of this by introducing a new 'serial-tests' option. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Recognize the new option, and related minor refactoring. * tests/serial-tests.test: New test. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it. * doc/automake.texi: Update. * NEWS: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini 84fbf466 2012-01-20T20:52:02 fixlet: flags for Fortran77 compiler are in FFLAGS, not F77FLAGS This change fixes automake bug#10555. Note that the bug was a minor one, since it didn't affect the compilation rules generated by automake, but only only the "hints" printed by automake in some error messages (e.g., "The usual way to define `FFLAGS' is to add AC_PROG_F77 to configure.ac"). * lib/Automake/Variable.pm (%_ac_macro_for_var): The code generated by AC_PROG_F77 uses FFLAGS, not F77FLAGS, as the variable where to look for switches for the Fortran 77 compiler: adjust accordingly.
Stefano Lattarini 3a7b60b1 2012-01-18T18:42:46 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: cmdline parsing: move into a dedicated perl module
Stefano Lattarini 52246cc7 2012-01-18T17:55:40 cmdline parsing: move into a dedicated perl module With this change, we delegate most of the automake and aclocal code for command-line options parsing to a new module "Automake::Getopt". This allows better code sharing between automake and aclocal, and also with Autoconf, which will sync the new module from us. See also autoconf commit 'v2.68-120-gf4be358' (2012-01-17, "getopt: new Autom4te::Getopt module"), and this mailing list discussion: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2012-01/msg00033.html> This change might interact with the behaviour described in automake bug#7434; for example, starting from now, "automake -Wfoo --version" will cause automake to emit diagnostic like "unknown warning category 'foo'" before actually printing the version number and exiting. This is not a big deal in practice, and the code sharing and simplifications introduced by this patch is certainly worth it. Still, we should revisited the issue in the future. * lib/Automake/Getopt.pm: New module, basically a slightly-edited copy of the 'lib/Autom4te/Getopt.pm' file from the autoconf devel repository (commit v2.68-120-gf4be358). It defines and exports ... (parse_options): ... this new function. * automake.in (parse_arguments): Use the new function. * aclocal.in (parse_arguments): Likewise. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (dist_perllib_DATA): Add the new file. * tests/getopt.test: Remove. * tests/list-of-tests.mk: Update.
Stefano Lattarini b4ba4e86 2012-01-18T14:08:57 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: cosmetics: move CheckListOfTests.am into tests/ tests: move all under the same hierarchy ('tests/' directory) gitlog-to-changelog: update from upstream changelog: don't cluster multiple entries under the same "date line" + Extra non-trivial edits: * tests/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Update with the xfailing tests that were in 'lib/Automake/tests'. Add proper "FIXME" comment.
Stefano Lattarini fbeda3da 2012-01-18T12:17:11 tests: move all under the same hierarchy ('tests/' directory) This simplifies the organization of the Automake source tree and reduces the (lamentably high) number of Makefiles in the Automake build system by one. It also makes the maintainer check that verifies the consistency of list of tests more self-contained and simpler. Finally, it might be a first step forward the transition to a non-recursive build system for automake (if we ever decide to go down that road fully some day). * lib/Automake/tests: All the '*.pl' tests in here moved ... * tests/pm: ... into this new directory. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Remove, its meaningful contents moved ... * tests/Makefile.am: ... here, with obvious adjustments. (test_subdirs): New variable, for the sake of the recipe of 'maintainer-check-list-of-tests'. * CheckListOfTests (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): Enhance its recipe to make it able to deal with test script residing in subdirectories. * Makefile.am (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): Simplified. (TEST_SUBDIRS): Remove, no more needed. * tests/list-of-tests.mk (perl_TESTS): New variable, lists the '.pl' tests just moved into 'tests/pm'. (handwritten_TESTS): Add the contents of '$(perl_TESTS)'. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Update. * .gitignore: Adjust.

Stefano Lattarini 27f1a1c9 2012-01-16T10:05:59 maintcheck: consistency of list of test scripts This is basically a backport of commit 'v1.11-358-g7b6ab07' and its follow-ups. The possibility of easily checking that the list of test scripts listed in a Makefile equals that of the tests on the filesystem has proved itself so useful that it's worth taking the annoyance of backporting it to maint. * CheckListOfTests.am: New file, backported from master (commit 'v1.11-1736-g083a75b') with minor adjustments. (maintainer-check-list-of-tests): New target, check for consistency between the list of tests defined in the including Makefile and the list of tests on the filesystem. (clean-maintcheck-testslist-tmp): New rule, to clean up temporary files that might be left around by the rules associated with the previous target. (clean-local): Depend on it. * lib/Automake/tests/Makefile.am: Include `CheckListOfTests.am'. * tests/Makefile.am: Likewise. * Makefile.am (maintainer-check-list-of-test): New target, calling recursively into `tests/' and `lib/Automake/tests/', using ... (TEST_SUBDIRS): ... this new variable. (maintainer-check): Added dependency from the new target `maintainer-check-list-of-tests'.
Stefano Lattarini 8856653e 2012-01-15T23:08:21 build: improve silencing of automake build system In this change, we continue the silencing of the automake build system that has been started in commit v1.11-642-g17542c3, but which has been left incomplete there for an (absent-mindness) mistake. * Makefile.am (INSTALL): Silence the recipe. (automake, aclocal): Likewise, and improve them a little since we are at it. * lib/Automake/Makefile.am (Config.pm): Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini e637fa2a 2011-12-30T15:54:40 dist: obsolete support for lzma (superseded by xz and lzip) The lzma utilities are today superseded by the xz utilities; in fact, the official site at <http://tukaani.org/lzma/> reads: ``LZMA Utils are legacy data compression software with high compression ratio. LZMA Utils are no longer developed, ... Users of LZMA Utils should move to XZ Utils.'' and the existing automake manual (as of 1.11.2) already says: ``dist-xz Generate an 'xz' tar archive of the distribution. xz archives are frequently smaller than bzip2-compressed archives. The 'xz' format will soon (early 2009) displace the 'lzma' format'' Also, the `dist-lzma' target still suffers of never-solved bugs, due to the too-high compression ratio its uses by default, which might cause an unacceptable memory consumption when one tries to compress or, worse, decompress the created tarballs; see also: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-12/msg00025.html> <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9658> * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (Dist, Options): State that `dist-lzma' will go away in the next major automake version. * lib/Automake/Options.pm (_process_option_list): Deprecate `dist-lzma'. * tests/lzma.test: Update.

Stefano Lattarini e9150626 2011-12-08T22:54:18 repo: don't commit generated files in the git repository anymore It has been quite some time since autoconf and libtool have stopped committing the generated autotools files in their git repositories, with no significant ill effects we're aware of. It's true that the autoconf bootstrap process has now the minor annoyance that a pre-installed autoconf is required to complete it; but luckily automake will not have a similar annoyance, since our bootstrap script take care, through some hoops, to use the very automake and aclocal versions from the current git checkout to generate the required aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in files.

Stefano Lattarini 326ecba2 2011-09-30T12:12:43 dist: auxiliary files can be distributed from subdir Makefiles With this change, we make it possible for a subdir Makefile.am to distribute files in the config auxdir; while this means that some files might be copied multiple times, it simplify some logic in the automake script, and fix at least one important bug. In fact, before this change, the auxiliary script `test-driver' was not being distributed as expected when TESTS was defined only in a subdir Makefile (which is a pretty common setup indeed). Now this does not happen anymore: so the present change fixes automake bug#9546. Another welcome collateral effect is that `dist-auxfile-2.test' now passes. OTOH, the present changes *breaks threaded automake*. The reason is that automake needs to serialize file installations spawned by `--add-missing' (this isn't for cosmetic reasons, but is really needed to avoid possible race conditions and botched output files). Currently the code that installs required files is intertwined with the code that declares the DIST_COMMON variables; so, upon de-serialization, the definition of DIST_COMMON might get emitted in the wrong Makefile.in. Some follow-up refactoring in automake will soon take care of remedying this situation. For the moment, we just declare some "parallel-am" tests as xfailing. * automake.in (maybe_push_required_file): Add ad-hoc handling for the case where the directory part of the required file is different from the subdir where the current Makefile.am resides, but is equal to the "config-aux directory" ($config_auxdir). This is needed to allow a construct in a non-top-level Makefile.am to require a file in the config-aux directory. * tests/test-driver-is-distributed.test: Extend and adjust. This test now passes. * tests/java-compile-run-nested.test: Call automake with the `-a' option to ensure that the `test-driver' auxiliary script gets correctly installed.

Stefano Lattarini fe1b11eb 2011-08-09T16:43:08 gitignore: more use of anchors * .gitignore: Anchor files that are intended to be ignored only if found in the same directory of the `.gitignore' file, not also in its subdirectories. * doc/.gitignore, doc/amhello/.gitignore, lib/Automake/.gitignore, lib/Automake/tests/.gitignore, tests/.gitignore: Likewise. Also, where needed, add new entries that were once implied by the non-anchored entries in the upper-level `.gitignore' files.

Stefano Lattarini 1e0238ad 2011-08-08T13:18:50 test harness: more minor VPATH-rewrite issues * tests/am/check.am (am__set_TESTS_bases, $(TEST_SUITE_LOGS), am--redo-logs, recheck, recheck-html): Cosmetic fixlets to minimize the risk of unwanted VPATH rewrites. (check-TESTS): Likewise, and normalize trailing whitespace since we are at it. Bugs exposed by test cases `check6-p.test' and `check7-p.test'.
Stefano Lattarini bf15d302 2011-08-08T12:50:12 test harness: "make -n check" works correctly with Solaris make To avoid some recipes being executed with "make -n", we used the trick of issuing recursive make calls not directly with $(MAKE), but with a simple indirection instead: ... am__stealth_MAKE = $(MAKE) ... target: ... $(am__stealth_MAKE) ... ... This hack worked with GNU make, but, unfortunately, not with Solaris make. The present change removes the hack, and uses more proper idioms to avoid unwanted recipe executions with "make -n". Bug exposed by test case `parallel-tests-dry-run.test'. * lib/am/check.am (am__stealth_MAKE): Remove, no more used. (.log.trs): Break recipe in multiple shell invocations. ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Likewise, and move some corner-case parts of the recipe to ... (am--redo-logs): ... this new internal helper .PHONY target.

Stefano Lattarini 4839ca92 2011-08-05T12:08:20 check: small cleanups and refactorings in test harness and drivers * lib/tap-driver (yn): New subroutine, converts a boolean value to a "yes" or "no" string. (write_test_results): Use it, and related reformatting. * lib/test-driver (trap): Also remove the `.trs' file on signals, for extra safety. (fatal): Remove this function, it's never used. ($logfile, $trsfile): Renamed ... ($log_file, $trs_file): ... to these, for clarity, and in order to be more consistent with the `tap-driver' script. Improve a couple of comments. * automake.in (handle_tests): Don't define anymore the now-obsolete make macro `$(TEST_LOGS_TMP)', nor add it to the list of files to be removed upon "make mostlyclean". * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): New shell function `f_ok', tells whether a path refers to an existing, regular, readable file. Use it throughout. (recheck): Be safer w.r.t. make implementation that run recipes with `errexit' shell flag active.
Stefano Lattarini 956c58ab 2011-08-05T09:28:17 test harness: be aware of more metadata, simplify test drivers * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): When producing the global test log, take into account the new metadata field `:global-test-result:, to write nicely formatted RST section titles, instead of leaving this chore to the individual test drivers. (am_rst_section): Re-introduce this variable, as removed in commit `v1.11-870-ga27c9c4'. * lib/test-driver, lib/tap-driver: Write the global test result as metadata in the `.trs' file, not as (part of) a formatted RST subsection title in the `.log' file. Related simplifications; in particular, get rid of temporary files usage. * doc/automake.texi (Log files generation and test results recording): Document the new metadata. * tests/check12.test: Update. * tests/parallel-tests-harderror.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-interrupt.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-2.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable.test: Likewise. * tests/tap-global-result.test: Likewise. * tests/test-metadata-results.test: Likewise. * tests/test-log.test: Likewise, and another minor unrelated fix. * tests/test-metadata-global-result.test: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

Stefano Lattarini 0c81b43f 2011-07-28T12:25:22 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 `$logfile'. Minor related adjustments to comments. * tests/.gitignore: Ignore `*.trs' files. * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: Moved ... * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable.test: ... to this, and extended to also check the semantics for unreadable `.trs' files. * tests/test-driver-end-metadata.test: Deleted as obsolete. * tests/test-driver-metadata-no-leading-space.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-global-log.test: Renamed ... * tests/test-metadata-global-log.test: ... to this, and modified as to verify the new APIs and semantics. * tests/test-driver-recheck: Renamed ... * tests/test-metadata-recheck.test: ... to this, and modified likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-once.test: New test. * tests/parallel-tests-make-n.test: Likewise. * test-metadata-results.test: Likewise. * test-missing.test: Likewise. * test-missing2.test: Likewise. * test-trs-basic.test: Likewise. * test-trs-recover.test: Likewise. * test-trs-recover2.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
Stefano Lattarini 4014b502 2011-07-26T14:51:20 test harness: allow more metadata in log files This change reworks and improves the parallel test harness to use more specialized reStructuredText fields in the log files (instead of relying on specially-placed of "magic lines" and more indirect semantical formatting); the new fields are the following: - ":recheck:": tell whether the associated test will have to be re-run by "make recheck"; - ":copy-in-global-log:": tell whether the content of the log file should be copied in the "global log" `test-suite.log'; - ":end-metadata:", which inhibits the scanning of the rest of the log file (for what concerns test metadata). Also, the special `:test-result:' value "END" has been removed, superseded by the new `:end-metadata:' field. * doc/automake.texi (Log files generation and test results recording): Document the new API and semantics. Remove or fix some obsolete comments. * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG), recheck, recheck-html): Adjust comments and code. * lib/tap-driver (finish): Adjust, with the help of ... (must_recheck, copy_in_global_log): ... these new functions. * lib/test-driver (Main code): Adjust, with the help of ... ($recheck, $gcopy): ... these new variables. * tests/trivial-test-driver: Update to obey the new APIs. * tests/test-driver-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-global-log.test: Likewise. * tests/tap-passthrough.test: Relax the test, avoiding to check what is written in `test-suite.log'; such check has been moved ... * tests/tap-global-log.test: ... in this new test, and extended. * tests/test-driver-metadata-no-leading-space.test: New test. * tests/test-driver-end-test-results.test: Removed, it checked the old APIs; superseded by ... * tests/test-driver-end-metadata.test: ... this new test. * tests/tap-log.test: Improve syncing with ... * tests/test-log.test: ... this new test. * tests/parallel-tests.test: Remove some duplication w.r.t. this last new test. Updated heading comments. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
Stefano Lattarini b9e9d546 2011-07-24T16:47:24 simple tests: support developer-defined fd redirections Motivated by coreutils bug#8846, and related discussions: <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8846> <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2011-06/msg00002.html> In those threads it has been shown how problematic it can be to do portable file descriptor redirections in the testsuite when using the Automake testsuite harness. This change should remedy to that situation. * lib/am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.log, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Append redirection defined in $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT) to the command-line invocations of the test scripts. * lib/am/check.am [!%?PARALLEL_TESTS%] $(check-TESTS): Likewise. * NEWS: Update. * doc/automake.texi (Script-based Testsuites): Document the new feature. * tests/check-fd-redirect.test: New test. * tests/parallel-tests-fd-redirect.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-am_tests_environment.test: Remove checks about the use of redirections in AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT: they would check deprecated (if not undefined) behaviour now. Strengthen a couple of still valid checks, to keep the test more in sync with the documentation. Improve debugging information. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
Stefano Lattarini eaac33fe 2011-07-01T11:12:31 parallel-tests: simplify testsuite summary Prefer a more deterministic, "tabular" format for the testsuite summary, always listing the numbers of passed, failed, xfailed, xpassed, skipped and errored tests, even when these numbers are zero. This simplify the logic of testsuite summary creation, makes it more easily machine-parseable, and will probably allow for easier addition of new kinds of test results in the future. * lib/am/check.am (am__tty_colors_dummy): New make variable, to reduce code duplication. Extracted from previous versions of $(am__tty_colors), and extended by defining two new variables `$mgn' and `$brg'. [%?COLOR%, %!?COLOR%] (am__tty_colors): Use that new variable. (am__text_box): Delete, is not needed anymore. ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Rewrite associated rules to implement the new testsuite summary format. * NEWS: Update. * tests/check10.test: Don't run with the parallel-tests harness too, that makes no sense anymore. * tests/color.test: Update and adjust. * tests/color2.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests3.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests6.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests9.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-unreadable-log.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-empty-testlogs.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-log-override-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-no-spurious-summary.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-end-test-results.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-no-color-in-log.test: New test. * tests/testsuite-summary-color.test: Likewise. * tests/testsuite-summary-count.test: Likewise. * tests/testsuite-summary-count-many.test: Likewise. * tests/testsuite-summary-reference-log.test: Likewise. * tests/testsuite-summary-checks.sh: New auxiliary script, used by the new tests above. * tests/extract-testsuite-summary: Likewise. * tests/trivial-test-driver: Optimize for speed when there are lots of of tests. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute them.

Stefano Lattarini 15400bca 2011-06-30T14:55:43 parallel-tests: new recognized test result 'ERROR' * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Recognize a new test result `ERROR'. Use it when encountering unreadable test logs (previously a simple `FAIL' was used in this situations). * lib/test-driver: Set the global test result to `ERROR' when the test exit status is 99. When doing colorized output, color `ERROR' results in magenta. * doc/automake.texi (Log files generation and test results recording): Update by also listing `ERROR' among the list of valid `:test-results:' arguments. * NEWS: Update. * tests/trivial-test-driver: Update. * tests/parallel-tests.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-harderror.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests-no-spurious-summary.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-global-log.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck2.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-no-html.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-end-test-results.test: Likewise. * tests/color.test: Likewise.

Stefano Lattarini 61b2bb0d 2011-06-29T16:02:52 parallel-tests: make parsing of test results safer The new code for parsing the testsuite-generated `.log' files, as introduced in commit `v1.11-872-gc96b881', considers each `:test-result:' field anywhere in a `.log' file as a declaration of a test result, and accounts for it as such in the testsuite summary. Unfortunately this could easily cause spurious test failures being reported in the testsuite summary. This happened in practice with the Automake's own testsuite; for example: $ make check TESTS='check12-p.test'; echo exit: $? ... PASS: check12-p.test ===================================== 4 of 5 tests failed See tests/test-suite.log Please report to bug-automake@gnu.org ===================================== make[2]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1 make: *** [check-am] Error 2 exit: 2 This change introduces a new special `:test-result:' "END", that, when seen, prevents the rest of the log file from being parsed. For more information, refer to the thread: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-06/msg00199.html> * lib/am/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Stop the parsing of a log file as soon as the special ":test-result:END" directive is seen. Related changes and enhancements. * lib/test-driver: Protect the rest of the log after the result lined with a ":test-result:END" directive. * tests/parallel-tests-no-spurious-summary.test: New test. * tests/test-driver-end-test-results.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
Stefano Lattarini 14027413 2011-06-22T21:59:34 docs: document custom test drivers and protocols * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests): Note that the TESTS_ENVIRONMENT use suggested here is not portable to 'parallel-tests'. (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): Document new restrictions on the uses of TESTS_ENVIRONMENT and AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT. (Custom Test Drivers): New section and node. (Overview of Custom Test Drivers Support): New subsection. (Declaring Custom Test Drivers in @file{Makefile.am}): Likewise. (APIs for Custom Test Drivers): Likewise. (Options): Update description of color-tests. * lib/am/check ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): Remove comments that have been moved into the manual.

Stefano Lattarini c96b881f 2011-06-03T22:50:56 parallel-tests: allow each test to have multiple results With this change, we improve the code creating the `test-suite.log' global log and the console testsuite summary to make it able to grasp multiple results per test script. This is required in order to introduce the planned support for test protocols, like TAP and SubUnit, which can indeed run multiple tests per test script, each with its individual result. The implementation makes use of a custom reStructuredText field `:test-result:'. Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is be left for follow-up changes. * lib/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): When processing .log files, recognize a report of a test's result only if it is declared with the custom `:test-result:' reStructuredText field placed at the beginning of a line. Extend and add explanatory comments. (recheck, recheck-html): Add explanatory comments. * lib/test-driver: Write an appropriate reStructuredText field `:test-result:' in the generated log file. Use a reStructuredText transition to better separate the test outcome report from the test script's registered output. Improve comments. * tests/test-driver-custom-xfail-tests.test: Adjust. * tests/parallel-tests7.test: Adjust. * tests/parallel-tests-empty-testlogs.test: New test. * tests/parallel-tests-recheck-override.test: Likewise. * tests/parallel-tests2.test: Extend and keep more in-sync with ... * tests/test-driver-custom-html.test: ... this new related test. * tests/test-driver-custom-no-html.test: New test. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-multitest-recheck2.test: Likewise. * tests/trivial-test-driver: New file, used by the last four tests above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.

Stefano Lattarini 79922343 2011-05-20T21:45:51 parallel-tests: allow custom driver scripts Allow suffix-based definition of custom "driver script" for the test scripts. These driver scripts will be responsible of launching the tests (or their corresponding $(LOG_COMPILER), if they have an associated one), interpreting and displaying the test results, and writing the `.log' files. This new API should allow easy and flexible use of different test protocols in the future; in particular, we plan to use it to implement TAP and SubUnit harnesses. Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is be left for follow-up changes. * automake.in (handle_tests): Define default for $(LOG_DRIVER), and, for any registered test extension `<ext>', define defaults for $(<ext>_LOG_DRIVER). Substitute %DRIVER% using these new variables, instead of the old internal $(am__test_driver). When processing check2.am, also substitute %DRIVER_FLAGS%. Require auxiliary script `test-driver' only if no driver has been explicitly defined for the test script kinds. * am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.log, ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Pass the %DRIVER_FLAGS% to the %DRIVER% call. * tests/parallel-tests-no-extra-driver.test: New test. * tests/test-driver-custom.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-custom-xfail-tests.test: Likewise. * tests/test-driver-fail.test: Likewise. * tests/Makefile.am: Update. * NEWS: Update.
