run-tests: test result shows when a failed test could not start a server Failing to start a server happens regularly, at least on windows buildbot. Such a failure often has nothing to do with the test, but with the environment. But half the test output can change because some data is missing. Therefore this is worth an extended error message. Detect the server failure in the diff output because it is most reliable there. Checking the output only does not show if the server failure was expected. Old failure message when server start failed: Failed test-serve.t: output changed New message: Failed test-serve.t: serve failed and output changed [ original upstream message ]

spelling: fixes from spell checker [ original upstream message ]

tests: warn on invalid #if directive [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: allow test paths in other directories Previously, test paths were assumed to be in the same directory and wouldn't have a directory component. If a path with a directory component was specified, it would be filtered out. This change allow paths to contain directories. This in turn allows tests from other directories to be executed. Executing tests in other directories may break assumptions elsewhere in the testing code. However, on initial glance, things appear to "just work." This approach of running tests from other directories is successfully being used at https://hg.mozilla.org/hgcustom/version-control-tools/file/7085790ff3af/run-mercurial-tests.py [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: allow option parser to be extended This patch moves the OptionParser population into its own function so consumers may modify the OptionParser before arguments are evaluated. This will allow consumers to add custom options, set different defaults, etc. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: use return values instead of sys.exit [ original upstream message ]
