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 ]

run-tests: Pass arguments into argument parser Before, arguments were not passed into the optparse.OptionParser instance and were coming from sys.argv. This patch enables consumers to define the list of arguments to parse without having to adjust sys.argv. [ original upstream message ]

tests: add run-tests --changed option for running tests changed in revisions Convenient when polishing patches and changing details of how they change test output. This will probably break in weird ways for revsets with special quoting ... but it is good enough for run-tests. Usage example: yes | ./run-tests.py -li --changed qparent [ original upstream message ]

killdaemons: drop superfluous L suffix from constant As far as I'm aware PEP 237[0] means this suffix is superfluous even on Python 2.4, and we can just drop it, which makes this code happy on Python 3. 0: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0237/ [ original upstream message ]

tests: small refactoring of run-tests' handling of tests list [ original upstream message ]

config: set a 'source' in most cases where config don't come from file but code Some extensions set configuration settings that showed up in 'hg showconfig --debug' with 'none' as source. That was confusing. Instead, they will now tell which extension they come from. This change tries to be consistent and specify a source everywhere - also where it perhaps is less relevant.

run-tests: move from dict() construction to {} literals The latter are both faster and more consistent across Python 2 and 3. [ original upstream message ]

tests: fix unused imports from inotify removal caught by pyflakes [ original upstream message ]

extensions: remove the inotify extension (BC) This extension has always had correctness issues and has been unmaintained for years. It is now removed in favor of the third-party hgwatchman which is maintained and appears to be correct. Users with inotify enabled in their config files will fall back to standard status performance.

run-tests: fixed warn detection on failures with too many output The state "warned" was reported too often. The problem fixed here is that warnonly was only reset when a line did not match. When there was a line too much, warnonly remained set. Fix this by setting more states to warnonly. More negative testing (testing on result "Failed") has been done this time. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests: fixed warn detection on detecting warn only for lines The state "warned" was reported too often. The main problem was that "False == 0" is true in python. Therefore use an empty string instead of 0 for reporting warn only for a line. The other problem is fixed in the next patch. [ original upstream message ]

run-tests.py: work when --with-hg is set to system hg Previously we'd always assume that --with-hg is a script in a user directory, and would write out a 'python' symlink to the same location. That didn't work if --with-hg was set to a system installation of hg, e.g. /usr/bin/hg. Introduce a TMPBINDIR directory which is used to write out the python symlink. [ original upstream message ]
