With --valgrind=memcheck-fast, the tests run under memcheck but
without the autodetected --track-origins. If you just run valgrind to
see *if* there is any memory issue with your program, the extra
information is not needed, and it comes at a roughly 30% hit in
runtime.
While it is possible to achieve the same through GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS,
this should be more discoverable and hopefully encourage more users to
run their tests with valgrind.

Running tests under helgrind and DRD recently proved useful in
tracking down thread interaction issues. This can unfortunately not
be done through GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS because any tool other than
memcheck would complain about unknown options.
Let --valgrind take an optional parameter that describes the valgrind
tool to invoke. The default mode is to run memcheck as before.

Since 781f76b15 (test-lib: redirect stdin of tests) you can't simply put a
"bash &&" into a test for debugging purposes anymore. Instead you'll have
to use "bash <&6 >&3 2>&4".
As that invocation is not that easy to remember add the test_pause
convenience function. It invokes "$SHELL_PATH" to provide a sane shell
for the user.
This function also checks if the -v flag is given and will error out if
that is not the case instead of letting the test hang until ^D is pressed.

Some tests check their output with code like the following:
test "$(git ls-files -u B | wc -l)" -eq 3 || {
echo "BAD: should have left stages for B"
return 1
}
The verbose failure condition is used because test, unlike
diff, does not print any useful information about the
nature of the failure when it fails.
Introduce a test_line_count function to help. If used like
git ls-files -u B >output &&
test_line_count -eq 3 output
it will produce output like

Change test_expect_code to be a normal test command instead of a
top-level command.
As a top-level command it would fail in cases like:
test_expect_code 1 'phoney' '
foo && bar && (exit 1)
'
Here the test might incorrectly succeed if "foo" or "bar" happened to
fail with exit status 1. Instead we now do:
test_expect_success 'phoney' '
foo && bar && test_expect_code 1 "(exit 1)"
'
Which will only succeed if "foo" and "bar" return status 0, and "(exit
1)" returns status 1. Note that test_expect_code has been made slightly
noisier, as it reports the exit code it receives even upon success.
Some test code in t0000-basic.sh relied on the old semantics of
test_expect_code to test the test_when_finished command. I've
converted that code to use an external test similar to the TODO test I
added in v1.7.3-rc0~2^2~3.

TAP, the Test Anything Protocol, is a simple text-based interface
between testing modules in a test harness. test-lib.sh's output was
already very close to being valid TAP. This change brings it all the
way there. Before:
$ ./t0005-signals.sh
* ok 1: sigchain works
* passed all 1 test(s)
And after:
$ ./t0005-signals.sh
ok 1 - sigchain works
# passed all 1 test(s)
1..1
The advantage of using TAP is that any program that reads the format
(a "test harness") can run the tests. The most popular of these is the
prove(1) utility that comes with Perl. It can run tests in parallel,
display colored output, format the output to console, file, HTML etc.,
and much more. An example:
$ prove ./t0005-signals.sh
./t0005-signals.sh .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.03 usr 0.00 sys + 0.01 cusr 0.02 csys = 0.06 CPU)
Result: PASS
prove(1) gives you human readable output without being too
verbose. Running the test suite in parallel with `make test -j15`
produces a flood of text. Running them with `prove -j 15 ./t[0-9]*.sh`
makes it easy to follow what's going on.
All this patch does is re-arrange the output a bit so that it conforms
with the TAP spec, everything that the test suite did before continues
to work. That includes aggregating results in t/test-results/, the
--verbose, --debug and other options for tests, and the test color
output.
TAP harnesses ignore everything that they don't know about, so running
the tests with --verbose works:
$ prove ./t0005-signals.sh :: --verbose --debug
./t0005-signals.sh .. Terminated
./t0005-signals.sh .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.01 sys + 0.01 cusr 0.01 csys = 0.05 CPU)
Result: PASS
Just supply the -v option to prove itself to get all the verbose
output that it suppresses:
$ prove -v ./t0005-signals.sh :: --verbose --debug
./t0005-signals.sh ..
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/avar/g/git/t/trash directory.t0005-signals/.git/
expecting success:
test-sigchain >actual
case "$?" in
143) true ;; # POSIX w/ SIGTERM=15
3) true ;; # Windows
*) false ;;
esac &&
test_cmp expect actual
Terminated
ok 1 - sigchain works
# passed all 1 test(s)
1..1
ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=1, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 0.01 cusr 0.01 csys = 0.04 CPU)
Result: PASS
As a further example, consider this test script that uses a lot of
test-lib.sh features by Jakub Narebski:
#!/bin/sh
test_description='this is a sample test.
This test is here to see various test outputs.'
. ./test-lib.sh
say 'diagnostic message'
test_expect_success 'true test' 'true'
test_expect_success 'false test' 'false'
test_expect_failure 'true test (todo)' 'true'
test_expect_failure 'false test (todo)' 'false'
test_debug 'echo "debug message"'
test_done
The output of that was previously:
* diagnostic message # yellow
* ok 1: true test
* FAIL 2: false test # bold red
false
* FIXED 3: true test (todo)
* still broken 4: false test (todo) # bold green
* fixed 1 known breakage(s) # green
* still have 1 known breakage(s) # bold red
* failed 1 among remaining 3 test(s) # bold red
But is now:
diagnostic message # yellow
ok 1 - true test
not ok - 2 false test # bold red
# false
ok 3 - true test (todo) # TODO known breakage
not ok 4 - false test (todo) # TODO known breakage # bold green
# fixed 1 known breakage(s) # green
# still have 1 known breakage(s) # bold red
# failed 1 among remaining 3 test(s) # bold red
1..4
All the coloring is preserved when the test is run manually. Under
prove(1) the test performs as expected, even with --debug and
--verbose options:
$ prove ./example.sh :: --debug --verbose
./example.sh .. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/4 subtests
(1 TODO test unexpectedly succeeded)
Test Summary Report
-------------------
./example.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 4 Failed: 1)

Files=1, Tests=4, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.01 csys = 0.03 CPU)
Result: FAIL
The TAP harness itself doesn't get confused by the color output, they
aren't used by test-lib.sh stdout isn't open to a terminal (test -t 1).
