run-tests: test result shows when a failed test could not start a server
Failing to start a server happens regularly, at least on windows buildbot.
Such a failure often has nothing to do with the test, but with the environment.
But half the test output can change because some data is missing. Therefore this
is worth an extended error message.
Detect the server failure in the diff output because it is most reliable
there. Checking the output only does not show if the server failure was
expected.
Old failure message when server start failed:
Failed test-serve.t: output changed
New message:
Failed test-serve.t: serve failed and output changed

Mercurial allows you to customize output of commands through templates. You can either pass in a template from the command line, via the --template option, or select an existing template-style (--style). You can customize output for any "log-like" command: log, outgoing, incoming, tip, parents, heads and glog. Five styles are packaged with Mercurial: default (the style used when no explicit preference is passed), compact, changelog, phases and xml. Usage:: $ hg log -r1 --style changelog A template is a piece of text, with markup to invoke variable expansion:: $ hg log -r1 --template "{node}\n" b56ce7b07c52de7d5fd79fb89701ea538af65746 Strings in curly braces are called keywords. The availability of keywords depends on the exact context of the templater. These keywords are usually available for templating a log-like command: .. keywordsmarker The "date" keyword does not produce human-readable output. If you want to use a date in your output, you can use a filter to process it. Filters are functions which return a string based on the input variable. Be sure to use the stringify filter first when you're applying a string-input filter to a list-like input variable. You can also use a chain of filters to get the desired output:: $ hg tip --template "{date|isodate}\n" 2008-08-21 18:22 +0000 List of filters: .. filtersmarker Note that a filter is nothing more than a function call, i.e. ``expr|filter`` is equivalent to ``filter(expr)``. In addition to filters, there are some basic built-in functions: - date(date[, fmt]) - fill(text[, width]) - get(dict, key) - if(expr, then[, else]) - ifcontains(expr, expr, then[, else]) - ifeq(expr, expr, then[, else]) - join(list, sep) - label(label, expr) - revset(query[, formatargs]) - rstdoc(text, style) - shortest(node) - strip(text[, chars]) - sub(pat, repl, expr) Also, for any expression that returns a list, there is a list operator: - expr % "{template}" Some sample command line templates: - Format lists, e.g. files:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "files:\n{files % ' {file}\n'}" - Join the list of files with a ", ":: $ hg log -r 0 --template "files: {join(files, ', ')}\n" - Format date:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{date(date, '%Y')}\n" - Output the description set to a fill-width of 30:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{fill(desc, '30')}" - Use a conditional to test for the default branch:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{ifeq(branch, 'default', 'on the main branch', 'on branch {branch}')}\n" - Append a newline if not empty:: $ hg tip --template "{if(author, '{author}\n')}" - Label the output for use with the color extension:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{label('changeset.{phase}', node|short)}\n" - Invert the firstline filter, i.e. everything but the first line:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{sub(r'^.*\n?\n?', '', desc)}\n" - Display the contents of the 'extra' field, one per line:: $ hg log -r 0 --template "{join(extras, '\n')}\n" - Mark the current bookmark with '*':: $ hg log --template "{bookmarks % '{bookmark}{ifeq(bookmark, current, \"*\")} '}\n" - Mark the working copy parent with '@':: $ hg log --template "{ifcontains(rev, revset('.'), '@')}\n"
