3This directory holds test scripts *.txt run during 'go test cmd/go'.
4To run a specific script foo.txt
5
6	go test cmd/go -run=Script/^foo$
7
8In general script files should have short names: a few words, not whole sentences.
9The first word should be the general category of behavior being tested,
10often the name of a go subcommand (list, build, test, ...) or concept (vendor, pattern).
11
12Each script is a text archive (go doc internal/txtar).
13The script begins with an actual command script to run
14followed by the content of zero or more supporting files to
15create in the script's temporary file system before it starts executing.
16
17As an example, run_hello.txt says:
18
19	# hello world
20	go run hello.go
21	stderr 'hello world'
22	! stdout .
23
24	-- hello.go --
25	package main
26	func main() { println("hello world") }
27
28Each script runs in a fresh temporary work directory tree, available to scripts as $WORK.
29Scripts also have access to other environment variables, including:
30
31	GOARCH=<target GOARCH>
32	GOCACHE=<actual GOCACHE being used outside the test>
33	GOEXE=<executable file suffix: .exe on Windows, empty on other systems>
34	GOOS=<target GOOS>
35	GOPATH=$WORK/gopath
36	GOPROXY=<local module proxy serving from cmd/go/testdata/mod>
37	GOROOT=<actual GOROOT>
38	TESTGO_GOROOT=<GOROOT used to build cmd/go, for use in tests that may change GOROOT>
39	HOME=/no-home
40	PATH=<actual PATH>
41	TMPDIR=$WORK/tmp
42	GODEBUG=<actual GODEBUG>
43	devnull=<value of os.DevNull>
44	goversion=<current Go version; for example, 1.12>
45
46On Plan 9, the variables $path and $home are set instead of $PATH and $HOME.
47On Windows, the variables $USERPROFILE and $TMP are set instead of
48$HOME and $TMPDIR.
49
50The lines at the top of the script are a sequence of commands to be executed by
51a small script engine configured in ../../script_test.go (not the system shell).
52
53The scripts' supporting files are unpacked relative to $GOPATH/src
54(aka $WORK/gopath/src) and then the script begins execution in that directory as
55well. Thus the example above runs in $WORK/gopath/src with GOPATH=$WORK/gopath
56and $WORK/gopath/src/hello.go containing the listed contents.
57
58Each line of a script is parsed into a sequence of space-separated command
59words, with environment variable expansion within each word and # marking
60an end-of-line comment. Additional variables named ':' and '/' are expanded
61within script arguments (expanding to the value of os.PathListSeparator and
62os.PathSeparator respectively) but are not inherited in subprocess environments.
63
64Adding single quotes around text keeps spaces in that text from being treated
65as word separators and also disables environment variable expansion. Inside a
66single-quoted block of text, a repeated single quote indicates a literal single
67quote, as in:
68
69    'Don''t communicate by sharing memory.'
70
71A line beginning with # is a comment and conventionally explains what is being
72done or tested at the start of a new section of the script.
73
74Commands are executed one at a time, and errors are checked for each command;
75if any command fails unexpectedly, no subsequent commands in the script are
76executed. The command prefix ! indicates that the command on the rest of the
77line (typically go or a matching predicate) must fail instead of succeeding.
78The command prefix ? indicates that the command may or may not succeed, but the
79script should continue regardless.
80
81The command prefix [cond] indicates that the command on the rest of the line
82should only run when the condition is satisfied.
83
84A condition can be negated: [!root] means to run the rest of the line only if
85the user is not root. Multiple conditions may be given for a single command,
86for example, '[linux] [amd64] skip'. The command will run if all conditions are
87satisfied.
88
89When TestScript runs a script and the script fails, by default TestScript shows
90the execution of the most recent phase of the script (since the last # comment)
91and only shows the # comments for earlier phases. For example, here is a
92multi-phase script with a bug in it:
93
94	# GOPATH with p1 in d2, p2 in d2
95	env GOPATH=$WORK${/}d1${:}$WORK${/}d2
96
97	# build & install p1
98	env
99	go install -i p1
100	! stale p1
101	! stale p2
102
103	# modify p2 - p1 should appear stale
104	cp $WORK/p2x.go $WORK/d2/src/p2/p2.go
105	stale p1 p2
106
107	# build & install p1 again
108	go install -i p11
109	! stale p1
110	! stale p2
111
112	-- $WORK/d1/src/p1/p1.go --
113	package p1
114	import "p2"
115	func F() { p2.F() }
116	-- $WORK/d2/src/p2/p2.go --
117	package p2
118	func F() {}
119	-- $WORK/p2x.go --
120	package p2
121	func F() {}
122	func G() {}
123
124The bug is that the final phase installs p11 instead of p1. The test failure looks like:
125
126	$ go test -run=Script
127	--- FAIL: TestScript (3.75s)
128	    --- FAIL: TestScript/install_rebuild_gopath (0.16s)

148	$
149
150Note that the commands in earlier phases have been hidden, so that the relevant
151commands are more easily found, and the elapsed time for a completed phase
152is shown next to the phase heading. To see the entire execution, use "go test -v",
153which also adds an initial environment dump to the beginning of the log.
154
155Note also that in reported output, the actual name of the per-script temporary directory
156has been consistently replaced with the literal string $WORK.
157
158The cmd/go test flag -testwork (which must appear on the "go test" command line after
159standard test flags) causes each test to log the name of its $WORK directory and other
160environment variable settings and also to leave that directory behind when it exits,
161for manual debugging of failing tests:
162

340
341stop [msg]
342	stop execution of the script

356	Waits for all background commands to complete.
357	The output (and any error) from each command is printed to
358	the log in the order in which the commands were started.

360	buffers contain the concatenation of the background
361	commands' outputs.
