Is there a recommended command for "hg bisect --command"?
- by blokeley
I have an emergent bug that I've got to track down tomorrow. I know a previous hg revision which was good so I'm thinking about using hg bisect.
However, I'm on Windows and don't want to get into DOS scripting.
Ideally, I'd be able to write a Python unit test and have hg bisect use that. This is my first attempt.
bisector.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import unittest
class TestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def test(self):
#raise Exception('Exception for testing.')
#self.fail("Failure for testing.")
pass
def main():
suite = unittest.defaultTestLoader.loadTestsFromTestCase(TestCase)
result = unittest.TestResult()
suite.run(result)
if result.errors:
# Skip the revision
return 125
if result.wasSuccessful():
return 0
else:
return 1
if '__main__' == __name__:
sys.exit(main())
Perhaps I could then run:
hg bisect --reset
hg bisect --bad
hg bisect --good -r 1
hg bisect --command=bisector.py
Is there a better way of doing it? Thanks for any advice.
