run-tests: fix whitespace nonsense [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: on windows, put correct python at front of PATH The older approach of trying to copy the python executable into the test directory was doomed to fail. There remains one weakness with this approach: if you've run "make local", tests may pick up the wrong extension DLLs from inside the source tree. I don't know why this happens. A reasonable workaround for now is to test either using --local or with a working directory that does not contain built DLLs. [ original upstream message ]

tests: kill daemons early, making breaking at "Accept" prompt safe [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: fix exename on Windows [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: support running tests in parallel on windows Previously, we used os.spawnvp, which doesn't exist on Windows, and isn't needed anyway (the command line begins with an absolute path). We also need a slightly more convoluted way to wait for processes without specifying an order on Windows, as it lacks os.wait. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: use correct python safely under --jobs [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: check for the correct python when starting [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: use correct python when run with --local [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: fix an unnoticed check-code violation [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: add a --compiler option Without this option, it is not possible to run the test suite on Windows using mingw's gcc as the compiler. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: make build command line less intimidating Use a dict for parameters to the format string, instead of a ridiculous number of positional parameters. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: backout 4a4173519b63 This deleted work in progress to eliminate child processes for -j. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests.py: remove runqueue's results parameter since it is now a global [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: open child-parent pipes in binary mode Python's pickle is a binary format. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: add --time option to log times for each test --time also prints out the wall-clock time each test takes in descending order. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: remove resultslock since it serves no useful purpose Each child process has its own copy of the results dict, so all access to the results dict is serial. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: use pickle to send results from children to parent JSON would probably be preferable, but it isn't available for Python 2.4 or 2.5. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: skip unnecessary operations on the args in the child proces The arguments are already sorted and never empty. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: remove dead code for supporting old test scripts [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: handle windows crlf in .py tests again Before af7c6bc48d8d all crlf occurrences in test output on Windows were simply changed to lf. In af7c6bc48d8d it was replaced by more clever handling in the .t test runner ... but the .py runner was forgotten and many .py tests were failing on Windows. The crlf/lf replacement is now reintroduced in the py test runner. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: make it possible to combine (esc) with (glob) and (re) This makes it possible to combine the annotations ... if done in the right order. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: alternative way of handling \r on Windows After f71d60da58fb all \r was stripped from output on Windows, and the places where a \r explicitly was expected it was accepted that it was missing. Ugly hack. Instead we now accept that an extra \r might appear at the end of lines on Windows. That is more to the point and less ugly. [ original upstream message ]

amend: add noise in extra to avoid creating obsolescence cycle (issue3664) Obsolescence cycle are bad and should be avoided as much as possible. The current amend implemented touch changeset meta data as few as possible. This make is easy for amend to result in the same node than a precursors. We add some deterministic noise in extra to avoid this. In practice, the hex of the amended changeset is stored in 'amend_source' extra key. [ original upstream message ]
