     3  This directory holds test scripts *.txt run during 'go test cmd/<toolname>'.
     4  To run a specific script foo.txt
     5  
     6  	go test cmd/<toolname> -run=Script/^foo$
     7  
     8  In general script files should have short names: a few words,
     9   not whole sentences.
    10  The first word should be the general category of behavior being tested,
    11  often the name of a go subcommand (build, link, compile, ...) or concept (vendor, pattern).
    12  
    13  Each script is a text archive (go doc internal/txtar).
    14  The script begins with an actual command script to run
    15  followed by the content of zero or more supporting files to
    16  create in the script's temporary file system before it starts executing.
    17  
    18  As an example, run_hello.txt says:
    19  
    20  	# hello world
    21  	go run hello.go
    22  	stderr 'hello world'
    23  	! stdout .
    24  
    25  	-- hello.go --
    26  	package main
    27  	func main() { println("hello world") }
    28  
    29  Each script runs in a fresh temporary work directory tree, available to scripts as $WORK.
    30  Scripts also have access to other environment variables, including:
    31  
    32  	GOARCH=<target GOARCH>
    33  	GOOS=<target GOOS>
    34  	TMPDIR=$WORK/tmp
    35  	devnull=<value of os.DevNull>
    36  	goversion=<current Go version; for example, 1.12>
    37  
    38  On Plan 9, the variables $path and $home are set instead of $PATH and $HOME.
    39  On Windows, the variables $USERPROFILE and $TMP are set instead of
    40  $HOME and $TMPDIR.
    41  
    42  The lines at the top of the script are a sequence of commands to be executed by
    43  a small script engine configured in .../cmd/internal/script/scripttest/run.go (not the system shell).
    44  
    45  Each line of a script is parsed into a sequence of space-separated command
    46  words, with environment variable expansion within each word and # marking
    47  an end-of-line comment. Additional variables named ':' and '/' are expanded
    48  within script arguments (expanding to the value of os.PathListSeparator and
    49  os.PathSeparator respectively) but are not inherited in subprocess environments.
    50  
    51  Adding single quotes around text keeps spaces in that text from being treated
    52  as word separators and also disables environment variable expansion. Inside a
    53  single-quoted block of text, a repeated single quote indicates a literal single
    54  quote, as in:
    55  
    56      'Don''t communicate by sharing memory.'
    57  
    58  A line beginning with # is a comment and conventionally explains what is being
    59  done or tested at the start of a new section of the script.
    60  
    61  Commands are executed one at a time, and errors are checked for each command;
    62  if any command fails unexpectedly, no subsequent commands in the script are
    63  executed. The command prefix ! indicates that the command on the rest of the
    64  line (typically go or a matching predicate) must fail instead of succeeding.
    65  The command prefix ? indicates that the command may or may not succeed, but the
    66  script should continue regardless.
    67  
    68  The command prefix [cond] indicates that the command on the rest of the line
    69  should only run when the condition is satisfied.
    70  
    71  A condition can be negated: [!root] means to run the rest of the line only if
    72  the user is not root. Multiple conditions may be given for a single command,
    73  for example, '[linux] [amd64] skip'. The command will run if all conditions are
    74  satisfied.
    75  
    76  When TestScript runs a script and the script fails, by default TestScript shows
    77  the execution of the most recent phase of the script (since the last # comment)
    78  and only shows the # comments for earlier phases.
    79  
    80  Note also that in reported output, the actual name of the per-script temporary directory
    81  has been consistently replaced with the literal string $WORK.
    82  
    83  The available commands are:
    84  cat files...
    85  	concatenate files and print to the script's stdout buffer
    86  
    87  
    88  cc args...
    89  	run the platform C compiler
    90  
    91  
    92  cd dir
    93  	change the working directory
    94  
    95  
    96  chmod perm paths...
    97  	change file mode bits
    98  
    99  	Changes the permissions of the named files or directories to
   100  	be equal to perm.
   101  	Only numerical permissions are supported.
   102  
   103  cmp [-q] file1 file2
   104  	compare files for differences
   105  
   106  	By convention, file1 is the actual data and file2 is the
   107  	expected data.
   108  	The command succeeds if the file contents are identical.
   109  	File1 can be 'stdout' or 'stderr' to compare the stdout or
   110  	stderr buffer from the most recent command.
   111  
   112  cmpenv [-q] file1 file2
   113  	compare files for differences, with environment expansion
   114  
   115  	By convention, file1 is the actual data and file2 is the
   116  	expected data.
   117  	The command succeeds if the file contents are identical
   118  	after substituting variables from the script environment.
   119  	File1 can be 'stdout' or 'stderr' to compare the script's
   120  	stdout or stderr buffer.
   121  
   122  cp src... dst
   123  	copy files to a target file or directory
   124  
   125  	src can include 'stdout' or 'stderr' to copy from the
   126  	script's stdout or stderr buffer.
   127  
   128  echo string...
   129  	display a line of text
   130  
   131  
   132  env [key[=value]...]
   133  	set or log the values of environment variables
   134  
   135  	With no arguments, print the script environment to the log.
   136  	Otherwise, add the listed key=value pairs to the environment
   137  	or print the listed keys.
   138  
   139  exec program [args...] [&]
   140  	run an executable program with arguments
   141  
   142  	Note that 'exec' does not terminate the script (unlike Unix
   143  	shells).
   144  
   145  exists [-readonly] [-exec] file...
   146  	check that files exist
   147  
   148

   150  	run the 'go' program provided by the script host
   151  
   152  
   153  grep [-count=N] [-q] 'pattern' file
   154  	find lines in a file that match a pattern
   155  
   156  	The command succeeds if at least one match (or the exact
   157  	count, if given) is found.
   158  	The -q flag suppresses printing of matches.
   159  
   160  help [-v] name...
   161  	log help text for commands and conditions
   162  
   163  	To display help for a specific condition, enclose it in
   164  	brackets: 'help [amd64]'.
   165  	To display complete documentation when listing all commands,
   166  	pass the -v flag.
   167  
   168  mkdir path...
   169  	create directories, if they do not already exist
   170  
   171  	Unlike Unix mkdir, parent directories are always created if
   172  	needed.
   173  
   174  mv old new
   175  	rename a file or directory to a new path
   176  
   177  	OS-specific restrictions may apply when old and new are in
   178  	different directories.
   179  
   180  replace [old new]... file
   181  	replace strings in a file
   182  
   183  	The 'old' and 'new' arguments are unquoted as if in quoted
   184  	Go strings.

   200  
   201  stderr [-count=N] [-q] 'pattern' file
   202  	find lines in the stderr buffer that match a pattern
   203  
   204  	The command succeeds if at least one match (or the exact
   205  	count, if given) is found.
   206  	The -q flag suppresses printing of matches.
   207  
   208  stdout [-count=N] [-q] 'pattern' file
   209  	find lines in the stdout buffer that match a pattern
   210  
   211  	The command succeeds if at least one match (or the exact
   212  	count, if given) is found.
   213  	The -q flag suppresses printing of matches.
   214  
   215  stop [msg]
   216  	stop execution of the script
   217  
   218  	The message is written to the script log, but no error is
   219  	reported from the script engine.
   220  
   221  symlink path -> target
   222  	create a symlink
   223  
   224  	Creates path as a symlink to target.

   227  wait
   228  	wait for completion of background commands
   229  
   230  	Waits for all background commands to complete.
   231  	The output (and any error) from each command is printed to
   232  	the log in the order in which the commands were started.
   233  	After the call to 'wait', the script's stdout and stderr
   234  	buffers contain the concatenation of the background
   235  	commands' outputs.
