tests: Increase test timeout and honor ‘GUIX_TESTS_BUILD_TIMEOUT’.

2025-10-17T10:23:54+00:00

Rigid build time limits let some unit tests fail on slow hardware.

Set default timeout to 5 minutes and make it configurable via
`GUIX_TESTS_BUILD_TIMEOUT` environment variable.

* guix/tests.scm (%tests-build-timeout): New variable.
(open-connection-for-tests, call-with-external-store): Use it.
* tests/guix-environment-container.sh, tests/guix-home.sh,
tests/guix-pack-localstatedir.sh, tests/guix-pack-relocatable.sh: Use it to
define ‘GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS’.

tests: Pass ‘--timeout’ for builds with the host store.

2025-09-03T10:34:13+00:00

This ensures ‘make check’ doesn’t accidentally start building the world.

* tests/guix-environment-container.sh (GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS): New environment
variable.
* tests/guix-home.sh (GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS): Likewise.
* tests/guix-pack-localstatedir.sh (GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS): Likewise.

environment: Add ‘--writable-root’ and default to read-only root.

2025-05-05T12:33:59+00:00

This is an incompatible change where the root file system in
‘guix shell -C’ is now read-only by default.

* guix/scripts/environment.scm (show-environment-options-help)
(%options): Add ‘--writable-root’.
* guix/scripts/environment.scm (setup-fhs): Invoke /sbin/ldconfig; moved
from…
(launch-environment): … here.

(guix-environment*): Honor ‘--writable-root’.
* tests/guix-environment-container.sh: Test it.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix shell): Document ‘--writable-root’.

tests: Adjust to cope with glibc graft.

2023-10-27T23:30:37+00:00

This is a followup to 1328c4cca531318e3ed90c6aecb522a5b22a4bcc, which
led to failures for tests that were not prepared to cope with that.

* tests/guix-environment-container.sh (hello_drv_nested): Pass “-E
GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS” so ‘--no-grafts’ is passed.
* tests/guix-pack.sh (GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS): Add ‘--no-grafts’.
* tests/transformations.scm ("options->transformation, with-graft"):
Skip when ‘glibc-final’ has a replacement.

tests: Fix checks for expected failures.

2023-04-21T14:16:38+00:00

Addresses .

With 'set -e', a return status inverted with '!' does not cause the shell to
exit immediately.  Instead use '&& false' to indicate an expected failure.
