Since the recent changes, these 3 tests are not working:
- tools
- session-2-8-compatibility-multi-window
- session-2-8-compatibility-single-window
(the 2 latters were only working with xvfb anyway)
I could just dig further as I did a bit these last few days, and tweak more and
more the testing code. But I think our current unit-testing framework is just
non-reliable and for all these years, we have spent more time fixing the tests
than actually relying on them to tell us there is a bug in GIMP.
Furthermore creating new tests is so cumbersome that basically none do it.
I have a plan laid out in #9339 for a much better and more reliable unit testing
infrastructure, based on the GIMP executable itself and a very simple syntax to
create new test scenari (so that even non-developers should be able to create
them eventually). So until then, let's disable these tests and stop wasting
time.
Also get rid of various old references to menurc and don't install it anymore to
etc/ (neither the new shortcutsrc as it doesn't look like it brings much value
to do so).
Pre-GIMP-3.0 code logics would re-allocate several GimpMenuFactory or
GimpUIManager for no good reason. While it was still working with old GtkAction
code, with our new GAction-based code, we were ending up overriding an action
with a new version of the same action, while keeping reference to old actions.
This made for discrepancies of the enabled or visible state of actions.
The new code keeps singleton of some objects and references to already
registered GimpUIManager or GimpActionGroups objects and make sure no actions
with the same name are created twice.
The meson build had the tools tests disabled unlike the autotools build.
Since enabling them doesn't cause any problems, let's enable them for
meson too.
Our CI meson tests for single window failed even though the sessionrc
looked the same as the one created by the autotools tests.
Looking at the Makefile.am it explicitly states that the tests shouldn't
be run in parallel or in a different order than specified, which was not
the case in our meson build.
We change this by setting is_parallel to false for each build, and
setting a different priority for each test. Since higher priority values
execute first we count down.
Now that we bumped our meson requirement, meson is complaining about
several features now deprecated even in the minimum required meson
version:
s/meson.source_root/meson.project_source_root/ to fix:
> WARNING: Project targets '>=0.56.0' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': meson.source_root. use meson.project_source_root() or meson.global_source_root() instead.
s/meson.build_root/meson.project_build_root/ to fix:
> WARNING: Project targets '>=0.56.0' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': meson.build_root. use meson.project_build_root() or meson.global_build_root() instead.
Fixing using path() on xdg_email and python ExternalProgram variables:
> WARNING: Project targets '>=0.56.0' but uses feature deprecated since '0.55.0': ExternalProgram.path. use ExternalProgram.full_path() instead
s/get_pkgconfig_variable *(\([^)]*\))/get_variable(pkgconfig: \1)/ to
fix:
> WARNING: Project targets '>=0.56.0' but uses feature deprecated since '0.56.0': dependency.get_pkgconfig_variable. use dependency.get_variable(pkgconfig : ...) instead
Some of our calls to run_command() would have failed with future
versions of meson if we didn't set the "check" parameter. In particular,
in various calls, we don't want to fail the whole build configuration
when the command does (as it's an optional feature check). In such a
case, it is important to be explicit as future will default to fail
then.
Fixes:
> WARNING: You should add the boolean check kwarg to the run_command call.
> It currently defaults to false,
> but it will default to true in future releases of meson.

The script `create_test_env.sh` was registered in meson as a run target
(i.e. to be run manually by `ninja create_test_env`), which is really
not useful. So a `ninja test` was outputting various:
> You have a writable data folder configured (/gimp/build/dir/app/tests/gimpdir-output/gradients),
> but this folder does not exist. Please create the folder or fix your
> configuration in the Preferences dialog's 'Folders' section.
Unfortunately run target are only meant to be run from command lines and
cannot be used in 'depends' argument of test() or 'dependencies' of
executable() because "in Meson all dependencies are to output files, not
to concepts" (cf. https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1793).
So instead a run_target() just directly use a run_command() and make
this script run during configuration step. Also make the shell script
executable as it was not.
See also #5666 as it was one of the errors outputted by the reporter's
log (though probably not the main issue).
This fixes bugs introduced in commit a7c59277fb where I obviously didn't
properly checked all the places where gimp_selection_float() was used
after its parameters changed.
This commit makes sure we can properly run the tests in a headless
environment, i.e. they don't mess with the user's X display or their
session bus. The latter is also needed for parallel tests as they fail
to simultaneously own the same name on the session bus.
Replaced the "xvfb-run" meson option with the "headless" option, which
is more intuitive (and also more correct, since we now also require
`dbus-run-session` to run the tests, not only `xvfb-run`).
Finally, note that we need a version of `xvfb-run` that supports the
`-d` (`--auto-display`) option. The problem with `--auto-servernum`
which is also regularly used, is that it doesn't shut down cleanly,
returning a non-zero exit code, wich makes the test fail.

Meson has a very useful tool for combining a set of linked libraries and
compiler arguments (like an internal pkg-config):
`declare_dependency()`. Use this command to ensure that we can easily
reuse libapp* over multiple libraries, executables and tests.
That way, if we also add a new dependency later on in one of the libapp
libraries, this won't need to be added multiple times.
The tests weren't building because they weren't linked to the static
libraries.
Note that some tests still need fixing, but at least they can be
built/run now.
- Change the wire protocol's GPProcInstall to transmit the entire
information needed for constructing all GParamSpecs we use, don't
use GimpPDBArgType in GPProcInstall but an enum private to the wire
protocol plus the GParamSpec's GType name. Bump the wire protocol
version.
- Add gimpgpparamspecs.[ch] in both app/plug-in/ and libgimp/ which
take care of converting between GPParamDef and GParamSpec. They
share code as far as possible.
- Change pluginrc writing and parsing to re-use GPParamDef and the
utility functions from gimpgpparamspecs.
- Remove gimp_pdb_compat_param_spec() from app/pdb/gimp-pdb-compat.[ch],
the entire core uses proper GParamSpecs from the wire protocol now,
the whole file will follow down the drain once we use a GValue
representation on the wire too.
- In gimp_plug_in_handle_proc_install(), change the "run-mode"
parameter to a GParamSpecEnum(GIMP_TYPE_RUN_MODE) (if it is not
already an enum). and change all places in app/ to treat it as an
enum value.
- plug-ins: fix cml-explorer to register correctly, a typo in
"run-mode" was never noticed until now.
- Add gimpgpcompat.[ch] in libgimp to deal with all the transforms
between old-style wire communication and using GParamSpec and
GValue, it contains some functions that are subject to change or
even removal in the next steps.
- Change the libgimp GimpProcedure and GimpPlugIn in many ways to be
able to actually install procedures the new way.
- plug-ins: change goat-exercise to completely use the new GimpPlugIn
and GimpProcedure API, look here to see how plug-ins will look in
the future, of course subject to change until this is finished.
- Next: changing GPParam to transmit all information about a GValue.
Commits e70c08cdd0 from mitch and mine
(5335f313d9) clashed as we did the same
fix nearly the same time on both branches. Let's at least sync so that
the code is exactly the same (just to avoid potential merge conflicts in
the future).
The scratch allocator has been moved to GEGL (commit
gegl@b99032d799dda3436ffa8c1cc28f8b0d34fb965d). Remove gimp-
scratch, and replace all its uses with gegl-scratch.
This is still needed on the gimp-2-10 branch since the implementation
appeared on GTK+ 2.24.25. But for GTK+3, it appeared for 3.14.0, which
is below our current minimum requirement on master. So let' clean out
this now useless piece of code.
All babl formats now have a space equivalent to a color profile,
determining the format's primaries and TRCs. This commit makes GIMP
aware of this.
libgimp:
- enum GimpPrecision: rename GAMMA values to NON_LINEAR and keep GAMMA
as deprecated aliases, add PERCEPTUAL values so we now have LINEAR,
NON_LINEAR and PERCPTUAL for each encoding, matching the babl
encoding variants RGB, R'G'B' and R~G~B~.
- gimp_color_transform_can_gegl_copy() now returns TRUE if both
profiles can return a babl space, increasing the amount of fast babl
color conversions significantly.
- TODO: no solution yet for getting libgimp drawable proxy buffers in
the right format with space.
plug-ins:
- follow the GimpPrecision change.
- TODO: everything else unchanged and partly broken or sub-optimal,
like setting a new image's color profile too late.
app:
- add enum GimpTRCType { LINEAR, NON_LINEAR, PERCEPTUAL } as
replacement for all "linear" booleans.
- change gimp-babl functions to take babl spaces and GimpTRCType
parameters and support all sorts of new perceptual ~ formats.
- a lot of places changed in the early days of goat invasion didn't
take advantage of gimp-babl utility functions and constructed
formats manually. They all needed revisiting and many now use much
simpler code calling gimp-babl API.
- change gimp_babl_format_get_color_profile() to really extract a
newly allocated color profile from the format, and add
gimp_babl_get_builtin_color_profile() which does the same as
gimp_babl_format_get_color_profile() did before. Visited all callers
to decide whether they are looking for the format's actual profile,
or for one of the builtin profiles, simplifying code that only needs
builtin profiles.
- drawables have a new get_space_api(), get_linear() is now get_trc().
- images now have a "layer space" and an API to get it,
gimp_image_get_layer_format() returns formats in that space.
- an image's layer space is created from the image's color profile,
change gimpimage-color-profile to deal with that correctly
- change many babl_format() calls to babl_format_with_space() and take
the space from passed formats or drawables
- add function gimp_layer_fix_format_space() which replaces the
layer's buffer with one that has the image's layer format, but
doesn't change pixel values
- use gimp_layer_fix_format_space() to make sure layers loaded from
XCF and created by plug-ins have the right space when added to the
image, because it's impossible to always assign the right space upon
layer creation
- "assign color profile" and "discard color profile" now require use
of gimp_layer_fix_format_space() too because the profile is now
embedded in all formats via the space. Add
gimp_image_assign_color_profile() which does all that and call it
instead of a simple gimp_image_set_color_profile(), also from the
PDB set-color-profile functions, which are essentially "assign" and
"discard" calls.
- generally, make sure a new image's color profile is set before
adding layers to it, gimp_image_set_color_profile() is more than
before considered know-what-you-are-doing API.
- take special precaution in all places that call
gimp_drawable_convert_type(), we now must pass a new_profile from
all callers that convert layers within the same image (such as
image_convert_type, image_convert_precision), because the layer's
new space can't be determined from the image's layer format during
the call.
- change all "linear" properties to "trc", in all config objects like
for levels and curves, in the histogram, in the widgets. This results
in some GUI that now has three choices instead of two.
TODO: we might want to reduce that back to two later.
- keep "linear" boolean properties around as compat if needed for file
pasring, but always convert the parsed parsed boolean to
GimpTRCType.
- TODO: the image's "enable color management" switch is currently
broken, will fix that in another commit.
Not sure this is really solving the issue reported, which is that
`g_get_tmp_dir()` uses environment variables (yet as g_file_open_tmp()
uses g_get_tmp_dir()…). But at least g_file_open_tmp() should create
unique temporary files, which prevents overriding existing files (which
is most likely the only real attack possible here, or at least the only
one I can think of unless some weird vulnerabilities exist in glib).
