"""
TestCommon.py:  a testing framework for commands and scripts
                with commonly useful error handling

The TestCommon module provides a simple, high-level interface for writing
tests of executable commands and scripts, especially commands and scripts
that interact with the file system.  All methods throw exceptions and
exit on failure, with useful error messages.  This makes a number of
explicit checks unnecessary, making the test scripts themselves simpler
to write and easier to read.

The TestCommon class is a subclass of the TestCmd class.  In essence,
TestCommon is a wrapper that handles common TestCmd error conditions in
useful ways.  You can use TestCommon directly, or subclass it for your
program and add additional (or override) methods to tailor it to your
program's specific needs.  Alternatively, the TestCommon class serves
as a useful example of how to define your own TestCmd subclass.

As a subclass of TestCmd, TestCommon provides access to all of the
variables and methods from the TestCmd module.  Consequently, you can
use any variable or method documented in the TestCmd module without
having to explicitly import TestCmd.

A TestCommon environment object is created via the usual invocation:

    import TestCommon
    test = TestCommon.TestCommon()

You can use all of the TestCmd keyword arguments when instantiating a
TestCommon object; see the TestCmd documentation for details.

Here is an overview of the methods and keyword arguments that are
provided by the TestCommon class:

    test.must_be_writable('file1', ['file2', ...])

    test.must_contain('file', 'required text\n')

    test.must_contain_all(output, input, ['title', find])

    test.must_contain_all_lines(output, lines, ['title', find])

    test.must_contain_any_line(output, lines, ['title', find])

    test.must_contain_exactly_lines(output, lines, ['title', find])

    test.must_exist('file1', ['file2', ...])

    test.must_match('file', "expected contents\n")

    test.must_not_be_writable('file1', ['file2', ...])

    test.must_not_contain('file', 'banned text\n')

    test.must_not_contain_any_line(output, lines, ['title', find])

    test.must_not_exist('file1', ['file2', ...])

    test.run(options = "options to be prepended to arguments",
             stdout = "expected standard output from the program",
             stderr = "expected error output from the program",
             status = expected_status,
             match = match_function)

The TestCommon module also provides the following variables

    TestCommon.python
    TestCommon._python_
    TestCommon.exe_suffix
    TestCommon.obj_suffix
    TestCommon.shobj_prefix
    TestCommon.shobj_suffix
    TestCommon.lib_prefix
    TestCommon.lib_suffix
    TestCommon.dll_prefix
    TestCommon.dll_suffix

        TESTCOMMON_PASS_SKIPS environment variable.  If set, we treat
        the skip as a PASS (exit 0), and otherwise treat it as NO RESULT.
        In either case, we print the specified message as an indication
        that the substance of the test was skipped.

        (This was originally added to support development under Aegis.
        Technically, skipping a test is a NO RESULT, but Aegis would
        treat that as a test failure and prevent the change from going to
        the next step.  Since we ddn't want to force anyone using Aegis
        to have to install absolutely every tool used by the tests, we
        would actually report to Aegis that a skipped test has PASSED
        so that the workflow isn't held up.)
