# https://go.dev/issue/51723: 'go test' should not stamp VCS metadata
# in the build settings. (It isn't worth the latency hit, given that
# test binaries are almost never distributed to users.)

[short] skip
[!exec:git] skip

env GOFLAGS=-buildvcs  # override default -buildvcs=auto in GOFLAGS, as a user might

exec git init

# The test binaries should not have VCS settings stamped.
# (The test itself verifies that.)
go test . ./testonly


# Remove 'git' from $PATH. The test should still build.
# This ensures that we aren't loading VCS metadata that
# we subsequently throw away.
env PATH=''
env path=''

# Compiling the test should not require the VCS tool.
go test -c -o $devnull .


# When listing a main package, in general we need its VCS metadata to determine
# the .Stale and .StaleReason fields.
! go list .
stderr '^go: missing Git command\. See https://golang\.org/s/gogetcmd\nerror obtaining VCS status: .*\n\tUse -buildvcs=false to disable VCS stamping.'

# Adding the -test flag should be strictly additive — it should not suppress the error.
! go list -test .
stderr '^go: missing Git command\. See https://golang\.org/s/gogetcmd\nerror obtaining VCS status: .*\n\tUse -buildvcs=false to disable VCS stamping.'

# Adding the suggested flag should suppress the error.
go list -test -buildvcs=false .
! stderr .


# Since the ./testonly package can't produce an actual binary, we shouldn't
# invoke a VCS tool to compute a build stamp when listing it.
go list ./testonly
