[previous commit forgot to bzr add caching.py; this commit fixes that]
This patch rewrites the caching test in python, using python's unittest
framework. It has been used with python 2.7 and python 3.3; python2.6
may have issues. It covers the tests in the existing caching.sh
test script (with the exception of the test that checks for when the
parser in $PATH is newer), as well as adding additional tests that
more extensively cover using a cache in an alternate location from
basedir. It also adds simple tests for the --create-cache-dir option
(along with that option's interaction with the alt-cache option).
(Some further work to be done is listed under TODO.)
Patch history:
v1: - initial version
v2: - create template base class
- add keep_on_fail() decorator to keep temporary test files
around after a test fails
- don't dump raw cache file to failure output in
test_cache_writing_updates_cache_file()
- push run_cmd into template class
- create run_cmd_check wrapper to run_cmd that adds an assertion
check based on whether return code matches the expected rc
(the valgrind tests only want to verify that the rc is not a
specific set of values, hence the separate wrapper function)
- similarly, add a check to run_cmd_check for verifying the output
contains a specific string, also simplifying many of the caching
tests.
- create testlib.write_file() to simplify writing file
