test-ob-sh/session

[Achim Gratz]

I'm currently seeing a problem with this test (only on Win7, both
NTEmacs and Cygwin).  The test just hangs and never finishes.  All my
attempts to have it fail in the same way in an interactive sessions were
fruitless.  However, it seems that the first time a session is
initiated, it does not start at all.  The second time it then works as
expected.  Why Emacs hangs when it gets there in batch mode I can't
see...

Incidentally, sh tests will run even when not explicitly configured,
which seems odd since I can't find any code that loads ob-sh either
directly or through autoloads and thus the guard code at the top of the
test file should leave those tests undefined.

There are a number of tests which execute shell code blocks in
test-ob.el.  This file has no guards, so it will be run on every system.
I guess at the time I wrote these tests I assumed that every system
would support both emacs-lisp and sh code blocks.

At some point either

1. all tests in test-ob.el which run sh code blocks should be placed
   behind conditional guards so they are only loaded when shell support
   is present

2. all tests in test-ob.el which run sh code blocks should be switched
   to running emacs-lisp code blocks

Best,

I know, I'm not (currently) talking about these.  What puzzles me is
that the three tests in test-ob-sh get defined and run even though the
feature ob-sh is not available.  It may be that this gets somehow
subverted by having the other tests unguarded, but I can't see how.

Specifically a shell that is more or less POSIX compatible... even
though even tcsh passes all tests.  :-)

That would be preferrable for tests which really depend on a shell being
available.

And this would be preferred for tests which should always be run without
making any assumptions on the environment.

Due to some other problems with the Cygwin snapshot I was using, I've
rolled back to an older snapshot and that problem goes away for the
Cygwin version of Emacs (but not NTemacs).  Since the test is relatively
recent, I can't say if session handling always was a problem or not.

However then there's a different problem in another test (inline shell
scripts) where it seems to skip over the second invocation or extracts
the output from the third invocation into the second result.  That has
been happening sporadically before and is also not reproduceable in
interactive testing.

All my attempts so far produced a nil result on (featurep 'ob-sh), yet
clearly the three tests are configured and run even when I'm not loading
ob-sh...

Emacs23 on Linux doesn't hang but fails the test anyway.
