Unfortunately, checking for strings without context is exceedingly prone
to false positives, while missing anything that indirectly opens a file.
Python 3.10 has a feature to warn about this though -- and it uses a
runtime check which runs at the same time that the code fails to open
files in the broken Windows locale. Set this up automatically when
running the testsuite.
Sadly, Python's builtin feature to change the warning level, e.g. by
setting EncodingWarning to error at startup, is utterly broken if you
want to limit it to only certain modules. This is tracked in order to be
more efficiently ignored at https://bugs.python.org/issue34624 and
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/9358
It is also very trigger happy and passing stuff around via environment
variable either messes with the testsuite, or with thirdparty programs
which are implemented in python *such as lots of gnome*, or perhaps
both.
Instead, add runtime code to meson itself, to add a hidden "feature".
In the application source code, running the 'warnings' module, you can
actually get the expected behavior that $PYTHONWARNINGS doesn't have. So
check for a magic testsuite variable every time meson starts up, and if
it does, then go ahead and initialize a warnings filter that makes
EncodingWarning fatal, but *only* when triggered via Meson and not
arbitrary subprocess scripts.
As a Meson developer it's often frustrating to have a single functional
test with a regression. These tests can be awkward to reproduce,
especially when they make use of a test.json file. This script provides
a simmple interface to call functional tests 1 at a time, regardless of
whether they use a test.json or not. If they do use a test.json, and
have a matrix, then the `--subtest` option can be used to select spcific
combinations, for example:
```sh
./run_single_test.py "test cases/frameworks/15 llvm" --subtest 1
```
will run only the second (zero indexed of course) subtest from the llvm
test cases.
This is not a super elegent script, but this is super useful.
Currently mesonlib does some import tricks to figure out whether it
needs to use windows or posix specific functions. This is a little
hacky, but works fine. However, the way the typing stubs are implemented
for the msvcrt and fnctl modules will cause mypy to fail on the other
platform, since the functions are not implemented.
To aleviate this (and for slightly cleaner design), I've split mesonlib
into a pacakge with three modules. A universal module contains all of
the platform agnositc code, a win32 module contains window specific
code, a posix module contains the posix specific code, and a platform
module contains no-op implementations. Then the package's __init__ file
imports all of the universal functions and all of the functions from the
approriate platform module, or the no-op versions as fallbacks. This
makes mypy happy, and avoids `if`ing all over the code to switch between
the platform specific code.
Like other language specific modules this module is module for holding
rust specific helpers. This commit adds a test() function, which
simplifies using rust's internal unittest mechanism.
Rust tests are generally placed in the same code files as they are
testing, in contrast to languages like C/C++ and python which generally
place the tests in separate translation units. For meson this is
somewhat problematic from a repetition point of view, as the only
changes are generally adding --test, and possibly some dependencies.
The rustmod.test() method provides a mechanism to remove the repatition:
it takes a rust target, copies it, and then addes the `--test` option,
then creates a Test() target with the `rust` protocol. You can pass
additional dependencies via the `dependencies` keyword. This all makes
for a nice, DRY, test definition.
