Subject: [PATCH] tests: add an optional test to test git-annex
Date: Tue, 16 May 2017 20:37:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170516203712.15921-1-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170516175906.hdwn4x5md7dj7fo3@kitenet.net>
Add an optional test to test git-annex. It's guarded by a new
EXTERNAL_TESTS environment variable. Running this test takes me 10
minutes.
As reported by Joey Hess in "reversion in GIT_COMMON_DIR refs path"[1]
commit f57f37e2e1 ("files-backend: remove the use of git_path()",
2017-03-26) first released as part of the 2.13.0 broke git-annex's
test suite.
This could have been spotted by us before the release by optionally
running the git-annex test suite as part of git itself. This optional
test does that. It currently fails due to the reported regression,
but, passes on the 2.12.0 release.
The git-annex revision to test can be specified with the
GIT_TEST_GIT_ANNEX_REVISION environment variable. Joey has expressed
interest in testing development versions of git against git-annex[2],
and can now test the latest revision with:
EXTERNAL_TESTS=1 GIT_TEST_GIT_ANNEX_REVISION='@{u}' ./t9950-git-annex.sh
By default the test finds the latest git-annex release tag and tests
that, since the primary purpose is to test regressions in git which
cause git-annex to fail, not regressions in git-annex itself.
The t9* test namespace is currently full as documented in t/README. In
lie of an empty t9X for "external tools" this change claims t995* for
that purpose.

I for one would run this test occasionally, and perhaps we could even
run it as part of Travis eventually (although there would be a *lot*
of Haskell deps, on my box "apt build-dep git-annex" brought in 1/2 GB
of packages).
As noted in the commit message, once this is part of git.git you can
easily set an environment variable to test the bleeding edge of git
against any arbitrary git-annex version.
