rebase: backed out changeset 2519994d25ca In the process of fixing issue5610 in 4.2.2, we are trying to backout cf8ad0e6c0e4. This changeset is making changes that depend on cf8ad0e6c0e4, so we need to back it out first. Since issue5610 is pretty serious regression and the next stable release is a couple of days away, we are taking the backout route until we can figure out something better to do.

setup: fix runcmd() usage on darwin Fix one invocation of runcmd() that was missed in the recent change to make runcmd() also return the process exit status.

py3: update the python3-whitelist with new tests which pass on Python 3 We have now 34 tests passing on Python 3.

setup: fix localhgenv It should return env as a dict instead of None.

tests: use the system hg for examining the local repository Most test scripts use "hg" to interact with a temporary test repository. However a few tests also want to run hg commands to interact with the local repository containing the mercurial source code. Notably, many of the test-check-* tests want to check local files and commit messages. These tests were previously using the version of hg being tested to query the source repository. However, this will fail if the source repository requires extensions or other settings not supported by the version of mercurial being tested. The source repository was typically initially cloned using the system hg installation, so we should use the system hg installation to query it. There was already a helpers-testrepo.sh script designed to help cope with different requirements for the source repository versus the test repositories. However, it only handled the evolve extension. This new behavior works with any extensions that are different between the system installation and the test installation.

tests: save the original PATH and PYTHONPATH variables When running the tests, define ORIG_PATH and ORIG_PYTHONPATH environment variables that contain the original contents of PATH and PYTHONPATH, before they were modified by run-tests.py This will make it possible for tests to refer to the original contents of these variables if necessary. In particular, this is necessary for invoking the correct version of hg for examining the local repository (the mercurial repository itself, not the temporary test repositories). Various tests examine the local repository to check the file lists and contents of commit messages.

setup: prefer using the system hg to interact with the local repository Add a findhg() function that tries to be smarter about figuring out how to run hg for examining the local repository. It first tries running "hg" from the user's PATH, with the default HGRCPATH settings intact, but with HGPLAIN enabled. This will generally use the same version of mercurial and the same settings used to originally clone the repository, and should have a higher chance of working successfully than trying to run the hg script from the local repository. If that fails findhg() falls back to the existing behavior of running the local hg script.

setup: replace runhg() with an hgcommand helper class Replace the runhg() function with an hgcommand helper class. hgcommand has as run() function similar to runhg(), but no longer requires the caller to pass in the exact path to python and the hg script, and the environment settings for invoking hg. For now this diff contains no behavior changes, but in the future this will make it easier for the hgcommand helper class to more intelligently figure out the proper way to invoke hg.
