Our docker/docker_run_tests.sh script runs tests in a container with the fish
source tree mounted as read-only. We have a hack to speed up repeated runs
of the check-all-fish-files test that assumes the source tree is writable.
Paper over this by silencing the error for now.
There were no remaining checks left to match stderr:1:
touch: cannot touch '/fish-source/tests/.last-check-all-files': Read-only file system
Commit 22c0054c1e (Add check to test all fish files with -n, 2020-02-17)
added a test that runs "fish --no-execute" on all fish files in share/**.fish
Commit 329cd7d429 (Make functions, completions and tests resilient to
running on an embed-data fish, 2025-03-25) change this to run it on **.fish.
Evidently "the tests are exempt because they contain syntax errors" is no
longer true - this is because we have since changed those files to recursively
run 'fish -c "syntax-error"', which makes it easier to test for multiple
syntax-errors in a single test file. Remove the comment.
Globbing everything seems a bit crass, and there's no explicit
motivation.

Let's go back to testing only directories where we currently have Git-tracked
fish files. This makes uncached "check-all-fish-files.fish" go from 26
seconds to 5 seconds.
According to commit 8a07db8e8f (Revert "Revert "Speed up check-all-fish-files
when executed locally"", 2021-03-06), we can assume "find -newer" is supported.
check-all-fish-files takes a long time (>20 seconds here); which is why we
have a (hacky) optimization to avoid checking files we already checked.
This optimization hasn't worked since commit e96b6e157c (Remove TMPDIR
dependency from tests/, 2021-07-30) which started each test invocation in
a private tmpdir. Fix that.
The optimization is useful because this test is, by far, the bottleneck
for parallel test execution (#11561):
$ cargo b && time tests/test_driver.py target/debug
...
checks/tmux-complete.fish PASSED 8465 ms
checks/check-completions.fish PASSED 10948 ms
checks/check-sphinx.fish PASSED 12949 ms
checks/check-all-fish-files.fish PASSED 29828 ms
200 / 200 passed (0 skipped)

A cache miss for check-all-fish-files.fish takes 24 seconds (though the
grandchild commit will speed this up), a cache hit 0.5 seconds.
In case a completion needs a function from another script, run
`complete -C"foo "` to load it, so the full autoloading logic is used.
Otherwise these things break if the path is off. E.g. cargo's version
will fail if you override the cargo completion in
~/.config/fish/completions without also overriding the rustup
completions.
In other cases, fix for empty $__fish_data_dir, which will be coming in the next commit
This is somewhat subtle:
The #RUN line in a littlecheck file will be run by a posix shell,
which means the substitutions will also be mangled by it.
Now, we *have* shell-quoted them, but unfortunately what we need is to
quote them for inside a pre-existing layer of quotes, e.g.
# RUN: fish -C 'set -g fish %fish'
here, %fish can't be replaced with `'path with spaces/fish'`, because
that ends up as
# RUN: fish -C 'set -g fish 'path with spaces/fish''
which is just broken.
So instead, we pass it as a variable to that fish:
# RUN: fish=%fish fish...
In addition, we need to not mangle the arguments in our test_driver.
For that, because we insist on posix shell, which has only one array,
and we source a file, we *need* to stop having that file use
arguments.
Which is okay - test_env.sh could previously be used to start a test,
and now it no longer can because that is test_*driver*.sh's job.
For the interactive tests, it's slightly different:
pexpect.spawn(foo) is sensitive to shell metacharacters like space.
So we shell-quote it.
But if you pass any args to pexpect.spawn, it no longer uses a shell,
and so we cannot shell-quote it.
There could be a better way to fix this?
These take over two minutes under ASAN (like ~40 seconds without, so
they aren't quick to begin with), and don't really give any additional
insight.
So we skip them to save time
See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
This reverts commit e240d81ff8 and
introduces a more compatible method of finding newly added fish scripts
to syntax check.
`find -newer` is the original and is supported by everything under the
sun (including FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, OpenIndiana, macOS 10.10, WSL,
and more), and if not, the tests will succeed anyway. `find -mnewer` was
added later around the time `find -cnewer` and co (which checks the
creation date rather than the modification date) was introduced, but
apparently the GNU version of coreutils never introduced the `-mnewer`
alias for `-newer`.
Yes, this is hacky and yes it would be ideal if the build system is the
one that picked which tests to run rather than the test itself picking.
But let's not pretend that our tests are idealogically ideal or pure
right now and until we fix the mess that is our CMake test integration
(e.g. use ctest and configure each test to be run separately with
configurable payloads, etc) eight seconds is still eight seconds, and
again, the CI isn't affected.
My find (GNU findutils 4.8.0) prints
> find: unknown predicate `-mnewer'
So we would have to test for support.
Also this is *super* hacky - tests aren't supposed to keep files
around, this is something you would do in the build system.
This reverts commit ddd0e28b4f.
Only check fish files that have been modified since the last time they
were checked. (This continues with the assumption that we are testing
for broken /usr/share fish scripts and not breakage of the fish parser,
which is covered by all the other tests.)
This saves 8 seconds on an NVMe disk under WSL. Won't affect integrity
of CI runs, which start with a blank slate each time.
This executes `fish --no-execute` a whole bunch of times in order to
find syntax errors in our fish scripts.
tests/ is exempt because it contains syntax errors on purpose.
This is a great idea in principle, but it takes ~4s on my system.
