Currently, the actual asynchronous work, represented by
asynchronous_cancellation_run_task, was over before the GCancellable
could be triggered. While that doesn't invalidate the purpose of the
test, since it's fundamentally about cancellation, it would be

being a mere formality.

In the writev() tests, the handling of cancellation is tested. However,
the GCancellable was cancelled after the writev_async() call was
started. Depending on the implementation of the writev() vfunc, the
operation could be done in a thread or in callbacks on the current
thread’s main loop. If done in a separate thread, there’s a chance that
enough of the write could happen before cancellation reaches that thread
that the overall operation returns success with a short write.
That would cause the test to fail, sometimes.
Avoid that by cancelling the GCancellable before starting the writev()
operation.

There's a race here, as revealed by Debian's buildds.
We call g_dbus_proxy_new() to create a proxy for the test server, with
callback proxy_ready() Then we call g_spawn_command_line_async() to
start the test server, and then start the main loop.
proxy_ready() assumes that the test server hasn't been started when it
is called. But there is no guarantee that these asynchronous operations
involving spawning a process won't happen in a different order that mean
the bus name *does* have an owner.
What we can do is move starting the server inside of proxy_ready(), so
we know that the test server isn't started until after the proxy is
created. We also add an assertion to check that it is indeed not running
before we execute it.
If we can't find the mount point for target or tmp (as currently
happens on Launchpad autobuilders, and perhaps relatedly, on a
development system that uses btrfs), that's probably not great but is
not really the point of this test.

appinfo-test-static.desktop uses an Exec= line which should always be
present (`true`) so it should never fail to load.
Allow the tests using appinfo-test-static.desktop to be run uninstalled

This test is intended to verify the fix for
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787731, which was that
g_file_query_filesystem_info() would return stale information for the
mount. After replacing a read-only mount with a read-write mount, this
test used to only fail if G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_READONLY was TRUE
and yet the file could be opened for writing. In particular, if (due to
a test bug) the file really was still on a read-only filesystem, the
test would pass.
Now that we have fixed that bug in the test, we can make a stronger
assertion.
fusermount -z behaves like umount --lazy, which is documented thus:
> Detach the filesystem from the file hierarchy now, and clean up all
> references to this filesystem as soon as it is not busy anymore.
Without this, the call to `fusermount -u` often fails with:
/usr/bin/fusermount: failed to unmount /home/wjt/src/gnome/glib/_build/dir_bindfs_mountpoint: Device or resource busy
which causes the subsequent call to bindfs to fail:
fuse: mountpoint is not empty
fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
It's not clear what is causing the mount to be busy. Inserting a
g_usleep (100 * 1000) before the calls to `fusermount -u` also works to
make the problem go away, but for the purposes of this test the
important point is that the mount is detached from the directory, for
which a lazy unmount is fine.
Fixes#1590.
In practice, fusermount -u often fails:
/usr/bin/fusermount: failed to unmount /home/wjt/src/gnome/glib/_build/dir_bindfs_mountpoint: Device or resource busy
which causes the subsequent calls to bindfs to fail:
fuse: mountpoint is not empty
fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
This may or may not cause the current test run to fail, but it reliably
causes a repeat run of the test to fail. This change causes the current
run to fail instead.
Currently, GDBusProxy:g-name-owner only notifies changes to the unique

That sounds like an artificial restriction, and it's convenient to

created for an unique name, instead of additionally using
g_bus_watch_name() to track the owner.
To fix this, always connect to NameOwnerChanged after the proxy is
initialized, instead of only doing so when the proxy was constructed for
a well-known name.

This is the most degenerate possible test but it does exercise this code
path.
(Tweaked by Philip Withnall <withnall@endlessm.com> to also add the flag

The executable depends only on the generated header file at compile
time, and on the library at link time. So meson can decide to compile
gdbus-peer.c before compiling the library and thus won't have generated
the header yet, causing the build error.
So declare_dependency() should only have the header file in its sources,
to force generating files before compiling gdbus-peer.c without
including objectmanager-gen.c into gdbus-peer's sources.
We use libgdbus_example_objectmanager_dep as dependency for various
tests, but this implies only a link dependency while it doesn't ensure
that the sources are generated.

This meant that a D-Bus message with a header field containing a variant

On Windows NTFS symlinks are implemented as reparse points,
which are special kinds of files *or directories*. A directory
symlink should link to a directory. A file symlink should link
to a file. Mismatching (such as a file symlink pointing to a
directory) produces symlinks that simply do not function.
Therefore GFileType file vs directory vs symlink distinction is
too simplistic to correctly represent a NTFS filesystem object type.
Since we can't turn back time and choose a better way of representing
file types, make GFileType reflect the file vs directory type on
Windows, meaning that all FS objects are either files or
directories (or shortcuts, which are also files), but never symlinks.
A test for symlinkiness will have to be made via GFileInfo - it
tracks symlinkiness separately from file/directory/whatever.
When using glib as a meson subproject on Windows the build currently fails
due to too long paths during the build process. See
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4226 for the upstream bug.
To work around the issue shorten the filenames of the generated gdbus files.
The tests were making assumptions about the order of the returned D-Bus
introspection nodes. However, these are semantically unordered and
changes to e.g. GHashTable would break the tests.
Fix this by applying a sort prior to validation.
This method drops the last reference *it* owns to the GTask, but then
continues to call methods on the GTask. This wasn’t resulting in

The X-Flatpak-RenamedFrom key is used in .desktop files to identify past
names for the desktop file. It is defined to be a list of strings.
However, there was previously no correct way to retrieve a list of
strings from the GKeyFile wrapped by GDesktopAppInfo, short of
re-parsing the file with GKeyFile.
Note that doing something like:
g_strsplit (g_desktop_app_info_get_string (...), ";", -1)
is not correct: the raw value "a\;b;" represents the one-element list
["a;b"], but g_key_file_get_string() rejects the sequence "\;", and so
g_desktop_app_info_get_string() returns NULL in this case. (Of course, a
.desktop file with a semicolon in its name is a pathological case.)
Add g_desktop_app_info_get_string_list(), a trivial wrapper around
g_key_file_get_string_list(), similar to g_desktop_app_info_get_string()
and co.
The change from g_key_file_free() to g_key_file_unref() in the test is
needed because g_key_file_free() clears the contents of the keyfile.
This is fine for all the fields which are eagerly loaded and copied into
GDesktopAppInfo, but not when we want to access arbitrary stuff from the
keyfile.
This makes it easier to debug test failures, by ensuring that g_debug()
and g_test_message() are printed as TAP diagnostics.

g_icon_new_for_string() docs states that it should return a single name
when created with a single name. I add a second condition to this case:
the themed icon must not include default fallbacks (i.e. it must not
have been created with `g_themed_icon_new_with_default_fallbacks()`).
Otherwise the return value of `g_icon_new_for_string()` would not
recreate the same icon list when passed to `g_icon_new_for_string()`
(which would be another documentation inconsistency).
g_icon_new_for_string() is now back to old behavior for this specific
case.
I also revert the unit test for this case, and add a new unit test when
using g_themed_icon_new_with_default_fallbacks() with a single name as
well.

1) Remove the non-Windows-only condition for subdir('tests').
2) Add libiphlpapi, libws2_32 and libsecur32 deps, needed for W32 tests.
3) Remove the -no-undefined argument (gcc doesn't understand it,
it *does* understand -Wl,-no-undefined; either way, the test
compiles without this argument just fine; maybe meson adds it
by itself - you can hardly build shared modules without it).
4) Add or fix a number of includes
5) Disable gdbus-objectmanager tests when building with MSVC
(right now these tests don't work on Windows anyway, so the fact
that MSVC can't even build them properly is irrelevant;
most likely gdbus-codegen needs changes to put _GLIB_EXTERN
before each function)

Previously GStreamer was relying on a custom patch to glib-networking to
populate the default database from the file pointed to by the
CA_CERTIFICATES environment variable however the mechanism that enabled
this was recently remove from glib-networking.

In order to determine whether to trash a file to the home directory, we
compare its st_dev to our home directory's st_dev field.
This is the wrong thing to do on overlayfs when deleting files, because
st_dev contains the ID of the filesystem providing the file (which can
be the lower or upper filesystem), but directories always return the ID
of the overlayfs. Thus the comparison fails and we are unable to trash
the file.
Fix this by checking st_dev of the parent directory when we are deleting
a file.
Also adjust `test_trash_not_supported` for this - make its st_dev check
look at the parent directory's `st_dev` rather than the temporary file's
own.

check_expected_events is heavily modified in this commit to tolerate
event loss and allow renaming to be reported as creation and deletion.
This fixes test failure on FreeBSD.
Previously, calling:
g_dbus_is_supported_address ("some-imaginary-transport:", NULL)
correctly returned FALSE; but calling:
g_dbus_is_supported_address ("some-imaginary-transport:", &error)
crashed with:
GLib-GIO:ERROR:../gio/gdbusaddress.c:434:g_dbus_is_supported_address:
assertion failed: (ret || (!ret && (error == NULL || *error != NULL)))
This was because, if the address component did not start with a known
transport, no error was set. Fix this, reusing an error string used by
the corresponding else branch in g_dbus_address_connect(), and adjust
the test to pass both NULL and non-NULL GError **s to this function in
every test case. This case:
g_assert (!g_dbus_is_supported_address ("some-imaginary-transport:foo=bar;unix:path=/this/is/valid", NULL));
would have caught this bug with a non-NULL GError **.
Meson has the ability to classify tests according to "suites", a list of
tags. This is especially useful when we want to run specific sets of
tests — e.g. only GLib's tests — instead of the whole test suite. It
also allows us to classify special tests, like "slow" ones, so that we
can only run them when needed.
Non-glibc gettext implementation seems to decide the language from
LC_MESSAGES environment variable instead of LC_MESSAGES locale, so
we should set both environment variable and locale when running tests
which need translation from specific languages.
Main changes were:
- take into account that style variants are added to the list of icon
names.
- In the test of icons set with 3 names ("first", "testicon" and
"last"), I also changed "first" to "first-symbolic" so that we can
test in such a case that the variant is the regular icon (only for
this name, out of the 3).
- Finally icon hashes are necessarily changed, and since emblems are
sorted by their hash in emblem icons, I had to invert an order which
was now different in one of the tests.
The previously implementation considered a file to be a mountpoint if
its parent is on a different device. / is its own parent, so by this
definition it is not a mountpoint.
But / is (generally) listed in fstab, and fstab(5) defines the
directories it contains to be mountpoints. This attribute should follow
that definition (and reasonable expectation): the root directory is a
mountpoint.
So, add a special-case for the case where the file's parent has the same
st_dev and st_ino as the file, which is true only at the root.
Test this attribute at / (only on POSIX), /proc (but only on Linux), and
at many files and directories created by the test suite (which cannot be
mountpoints).
Sometimes file monitor events may be slow to emit. Using g_idle_add
makes it less possible for events to be scheduled later than the main
loop quit, preventing test failure caused by missing events.
This fixes test failure on FreeBSD.
