- `test_section "..."` replaces `echo "Now we're testing ..."`
- `test_run ...` replaces `... || { ...; eval "testsfailed"; }`
- `test_run not ...` replaces `... && { ...; eval "testsfailed"; }`
`test_section` saves the output of the program and shows it only in the
case of failures.
`test_run` arranges to exit with non-zero status if a test fails.
Use `set -e` to force early exit. Conversely use `set +e` to continue
running the remaining tests when one fails -- this will be very useful
in reducing the number of CI test runs (e.g., GitHub Actions), thus
saving time and money.
This is Claude-generated code, guided by me, with minor corrections.
This utility, inspired by the old SunOS 4.x intr(8) utility, will be
used to start daemons with --detach and a timeout, like this:
intr -t 5 kdc --detach || { echo failed to start kdc; exit 1 }
This will allow tests to stop having to sleep poll for "started" output
from the daemons they start, allowing them to run faster and to impose a
reasonable timeout on daemon startup.
The default timeout is 3 seconds.
