1100. By Matt Giuca on 2010-06-11

doc/testing: Added a note about supplying the right amount of input or crashing MTF.

test: Removed run_mars. All calls to run_mars replaced with calls to MarsSession.send_command, which send interactive commands to an active session.
    This *should* not break any tests (though there are a number of caveats to be documented). It just makes the test suite *insanely fast* because it no longer re-compiles for every test case; just once for each module.

test case name: Removed (commented) end-of-file on stdin test -- the new test framework will not be able to handle sending end-of-file on stdin.

1097. By Matt Giuca on 2010-06-11

test: Don't attempt to run unit tests if compilation failed or was expected to (previously would at least run ':ta' command which would fail again).

1096. By Matt Giuca on 2010-06-11

test: Removed returncode part of the return tuple from run_mars (was unused, and doesn't make sense if the call to run_mars isn't a separate child process.

1095. By Matt Giuca on 2010-06-11

test: Removed 'backend' argument from run_mars.

1094. By Matt Giuca on 2010-06-11

Testing Framework: 'environ' is now a property of the 'compile' object, not
    individual 'run' objects. This means it is no longer possible to supply
    separate environments per test, only per module.
Updated documentation.
This was done to allow all test cases to be run in a single process, rather
than having a separate compilation call for each test case.
test_builtins: Moved environment from runtime_test_get_env case out to the
    compile object for the entire module.

1093. By Matt Giuca on 2010-06-11

test: do_test_real: Moved compilation down to after input dict is parsed.

1092. By Matt Giuca on 2010-06-11

Test: test_builtins: runtime_test_get_env now accepts an argument for the var to look up; the 'missing' case tests MARS_MISSING_ENV_VAR instead of MARS_TEST_ENV_VAR.
    (Soon it won't be possible to have a variable present in one case, missing in another, so choose a different name.)

1091. By Matt Giuca on 2010-06-11

test/marssession: MarsSession.send_command now takes an additional stdin argument.
