Joachim Wiberg e5040385f5 test: fix flaky crashing.sh
Two races, both around the post:script Finit runs when it gives up on a
service.

Finit marks the service crashed before it forks post:script, so the file
the test greps for lands a moment later.  Waiting for the state is not
enough.

slay then takes the PID from initctl status, and service_post_script()
sets svc->pid to the script's PID, so once Finit has given up the PID
reported for the service is the post:script.  Killing that takes out the
script instead of the service and the file never arrives at all.  The
guard for this was already there, with a comment describing it, but
inside the loop that waits for a PID to appear, so it only covered the
case where there was none.  A PID that was already there went straight
to kill -9.  Hence the gcc leg killing once more at lap 13, after Finit
had stopped restarting, where clang stopped at 12.

Finit Test Suite

Finit comes with a set of tests and a small framework for running them. Contributors are encouraged to write new tests when implementing features, or fixing bugs.

Each test is run in isolation, in it's own namespace. Finit will therefore be able to be launched as PID 1. Since it's also running with it's own root directory it will be able to function properly without having any super user privileges in the host environment.

Running tests

To run the test suite, first build Finit, e.g:

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix= --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-testserv-plugin
make -j9 clean all

Then run (parallel does not work atm):

make check

make check will set up the required assets for the test environment, and then run the full set of tests. The environment is not removed afterwards so at this point individual tests can be executed without having to run the entire test suite, which is handy when developing new tests or debugging existing test. To execute an individual test, simply invoke the script containing it:

./test/name-of-the-test.sh

Another way to run a single (or more) test(s) is to define the TESTS environment variable:

TESTS="start-kill-service" make check
