Priority: normal
Bug ID: 4403
CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com
Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
Summary: run-tests.py isn't robust to forgetting '>' in
multiline commands
Severity: bug
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: mkoconnor at gmail.com
Hardware: PC
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.0.2
Component: Mercurial
Product: Mercurial
If in a .t file, you have a multiline command but forget the >, say for
example:
$ echo hello \
there
hello there
instead of
$ echo hello \
> there
hello there
then you will get undefined behavior: a Python backtrace might be raised, the
output might be wrong, or the test might even unexpectedly pass. For example,
this test incorrectly passes:
$ echo hello \
hello echo (no-eol)
I believe this is because run-tests.py intersperses the test's commands with
'echo SALT...' commands and if a test's command ends with a backslash it will
capture the 'echo SALT...' command.
