lp:~gagern/bzr/encodingSafeTests

Created by Martin von Gagern and last modified

If some test output causes trouble due to mismatches between unicode strings, byte strings, and locale settings, then it would be nice to recover from these errors, printing as much information as feasible under the curcumstances.

This originally happened for me while dealing with local date formats, day of week in particular, while I've been working on my (now abandoned) lp:~gagern/bzr/setlocale branch and the bug #128496 it's related to. But in general I assume this kind of fix might be useful for anyone dealing with tests for complicated encoding issues.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.bazaar-ng.general/43607 for past discussion on this.

Fix broken newline unescaping.

In order to show useful diffs, and readable output in general, newlines
should not be escaped. The unescaping done before was broken if r'\n'
appeared in the input, as Andrew Bennetts reviewed. In order to avoid using
regular expressions, we now split lines and join them after escaping. Added
a test case as well, and a new test class for toplevel functions in tests.

Merge from trunk, with lots of adjustments.

This branch has been lying around for quite a while, so there has been a
number of changes to incorporate. Therefore this merge has a large edit
component to it.

Added tests for tests._safe_string.

More robust handling of encoding issues in tests.

Problems with encoding errors could lead to not only single tests
failing but the whole selftest process crashing. The introduction of
safe strings as a fallback in case of trouble avoids most of these
problems. The safe strings try to maintain as much information as
possible while using only ASCII characters. This is achieved by
formatting the strings using escape sequences.

This modification only changes how certain test results are displayed
to the user. There is no change to the semantics of these tests, so a
test that used to fail before will still continue to fail. Hopefully if
it does fail it is more likely that the test suite will continue with
the next test and not abort due to some exception displaying the error.
