tests: stabilize `test-status-eacces.t` on Windows As noted earlier, `chmod` doesn't complain in MSYS, but also doesn't alter the file permissions such that they are unreadable. I'm guessing the other lines of output in this area that are gated on `rhg` (or not) will also need this, but I don't want to dig too deeply into something that is apparently working well enough.

run-tests: bump the default timeout on Windows to 4x the normal value There are a ridiculous number of tests that timeout on Windows with the 360 sec default (~60). And because of the bug where timed out tests still run to completion before the results are thrown away[1], the timeout does nothing but waste time, so there's no reason to try to find a lower value that still works. For reference on my system: # Ran 909 tests, 116 skipped, 119 failed. python hash seed: 2052473208 real 151m44.322s user 0m0.077s sys 0m0.046s [1] I thought that I wrote a bug for this, but search isn't finding it.

run-tests: bump the minimum python to 3.8 Presumably this was an oversight when hg was updated to 3.8.

tests: stabilize `test-sparse.t` on Windows One of the reserved characters for path values is '*', so it can't be used. Fortunately, missing this seems to not get in the way of any other tests, and it is removed shortly after with `rm -r foo*bar`, and the extant 'foo-bar' matches the pattern.

tests: fix a test hang on Windows when setting a debuglock I have no idea why, but running the `hg -R auto-upgrade debuglock --set-lock` command near the end of `test-upgrade-repo.t` hangs the test. It does background the process and `killdaemons.py` runs without error, but control doesn't return to `run-tests.py` until the process is manually killed. I did notice that `$!` in MSYS is *not* the PID of the process that got backgrounded, even when a simple `sleep 60 &` is run in MSYS without the *.t file. When `killdaemons.py` is run manually with the PID in ProcessExplorer, the backgrounded process terminates immediately, and returns control to `run-tests.py`. This looks like it would be a race, but the test waits 10s for the lock file to appear before attempting to kill the process, so there's time. `hg serve` has a `--pid-file` option to write the pid to the file, but this is only a debug command, so I'm not bothering with cluttering the command line.

tests: conditionalize `chmod` usage in `test-upgrade-repo.t` While the command itself doesn't error out on Windows, it also doesn't make the filesystem readonly. Therefore the repo gets altered to drop dirstate-v2, and puts it out of sync with that happens on Linux.

tests: print the actual timeout value used in `wait-on-file` Previously, it was printing the time passed in, prior to it being scaled up to account for a longer timeout.

tests: stabilize `test-transaction-wc-rollback-race.t` on Windows MSYS has a tendency to munge C:\Dir\SubDir\File into C:DirSubDirFile unless it is quoted, and that's what was happening here- there were a lot of these failures: file not created after 5 seconds: $TESTTMP/transaction-waiting I suspect quoting is only needed in the hook script that is generated (the catting of the log file pointed me in the right direction here), but I missed a spot and trial and error got me here. The quoting elsewhere doesn't harm anything and it was taking 7+ minutes to run this test when things were timing out, so I don't feel like reducing the quoting to the minimum required.

tests: stabilize `test-merge-partial-tool.t` on Windows The test was previously failing because it was opening the shell scripts being used as an executable in a text editor, and problems cascaded from there.

tests: replace `hg id --debug -i` command substitution with non-debug command The censor and convert tests were failing on Windows because the `--debug` flag also prints debug messages, and at least some of these were outputting: skip updating dirstate: identity mismatch ${node} Obviously that causes cascading problems. The other tests were OK, but it's better to use a non debug command for stability.
