+ docs: fix unportable example of AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT usage
+ * doc/automake.texi (Simple Tests using parallel-tests): The

+ Shells (see also commit `v1.11-925-g29ca903'). Give another
+ example, simpler this time, but still inspired to real-world

+
+ parallel-tests: allow each test to have multiple results
+ With this change, we improve the code creating the `test-suite.log'
+ global log and the console testsuite summary to make it able to
+ grasp multiple results per test script. This is required in order
+ to introduce the planned support for test protocols, like TAP and
+ SubUnit, which can indeed run multiple tests per test script, each
+ with its individual result.
+ The implementation makes use of a custom reStructuredText field
+ `:test-result:'.
+ Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is
+ be left for follow-up changes.
+ * lib/check.am ($(TEST_SUITE_LOG)): When processing .log files,
+ recognize a report of a test's result only if it is declared with
+ the custom `:test-result:' reStructuredText field placed at the
+ beginning of a line. Extend and add explanatory comments.
+ (recheck, recheck-html): Add explanatory comments.
+ * lib/test-driver: Write an appropriate reStructuredText field
+ `:test-result:' in the generated log file. Use a reStructuredText
+ transition to better separate the test outcome report from the
+ test script's registered output. Improve comments.
+ * tests/test-driver-custom-xfail-tests.test: Adjust.

+
+ parallel-tests: allow custom driver scripts
+ Allow suffix-based definition of custom "driver script" for the
+ test scripts. These driver scripts will be responsible of
+ launching the tests (or their corresponding $(LOG_COMPILER), if
+ they have an associated one), interpreting and displaying the
+ test results, and writing the `.log' files.
+ This new API should allow easy and flexible use of different
+ test protocols in the future; in particular, we plan to use it
+ to implement TAP and SubUnit harnesses.
+ Note that no new documentation is added by this change; that is
+ be left for follow-up changes.
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): Define default for $(LOG_DRIVER),
+ and, for any registered test extension `<ext>', define defaults
+ for $(<ext>_LOG_DRIVER). Substitute %DRIVER% using these new
+ variables, instead of the old internal $(am__test_driver). When
+ processing check2.am, also substitute %DRIVER_FLAGS%.
+ Require auxiliary script `test-driver' only if no driver has been
+ explicitly defined for the test script kinds.
+ * am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.log,
+ ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Pass the %DRIVER_FLAGS% to the %DRIVER% call.
+ * tests/parallel-tests-no-extra-driver.test: New test.

+
+ parallel-tests: add auxiliary script 'test-driver', refactor
+ This refactoring should cause no API of functionality change,
+ and is meant only to simplify the future implementation of TAP
+ and SubUnit testsuite drivers. More precisely, our roadmap is
+ to move most of the "testsuite driving" features out of the
+ Automake-generated Makefiles, and into external scripts with
+ well-defined interfaces. This will allow the user to define
+ its own personalized testsuite drivers, and will also offer us
+ a framework upon which to implement our new TAP and SubUnit
+ drivers, all in a very unobtrusive way and retaining an high
+ degree of code reuse and backward-compatibility.
+ * lib/test-driver: New auxiliary script.
+ * lib/Makefile.am (dist_SCRIPT_DATA): Add it.
+ * automake.in (handle_tests): Require the new auxiliary script
+ `test-driver', and define a new internal makefile variable
+ `$(am__test_driver)', used to call it. Perform new substitution
+ on `DRIVER' when processing the `check2.am' file.
+ * lib/check.am (am__tty_colors): Define new shell variable
+ `$am__color_tests'.
+ (am__rst_section): Removed, its role taken over by the new
+ `test-driver' script.
+ (am__test_driver_flags): New variable, contains the command
+ line options passed to `test-driver'.
+ (am__check_pre): Do not deal with temporary files and exit
+ traps anymore, as the `test-driver' script takes care of that
+ now. Define shell variable `$am__enable_hard_errors', used by
+ `$(am__test_driver_flags)'. Reorder so that we don't need to
+ save and restore the value of the `TERM' environment variable
+ anymore.
+ Other related adjustments.
+ (am__check_post): Remove, as its role has been completely taken
+ over by the `test-driver' script.
+ * am/check2.am (?GENERIC?%EXT%$(EXEEXT).log, ?GENERIC?%EXT%.log,
+ ?!GENERIC?%OBJ%): Call the test script through the Automake
+ substituted `%DRIVER%', and honor the command-line options
+ in `$(am__test_driver_flags)'. Do not call the obsoleted
+ `$(am__check_post)' anymore.
+ * doc/automake.texi (Auxiliary Programs): Mention the new
+ `test-driver' script.
+ (Optional): Mention `test-driver' in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
+ Since we are at it, break the list of auxiliary scripts by
+ placing one per line, to simplify potential future additions
+ of new scripts.
