Ages back we moved from Test::Unit to RSpec based testing as our primary
mechanism; at the time we ported a bunch of tests over that still depended on
the old infrastructure.
One of the key things this introduces is global "fixture" helpers, especially
"my_fixture" and "my_fixtures", which magically work out the right place to
find your fixtures. This makes a solid convention for where to find per-spec
data, which makes it easier to use.
This patch series does that, along with a cherry-pick of a fix for a test hang
from 2.6.x, and a couple of other tiny test fixes along the way.
The original purpose of the series was to enable the use of specjour[1] to run
tests in parallel, which turns out to be pretty unreliable. However, the
series is of stand-alone value in cleaning up the test suite, and gives us
some valuable features.
(Incidentally, using specjour let me reduce the 3:30 average runtime to :34
for the entire spec suite on my machine plus one extra CPU, when it ran
successfully. The issue was reproducing that without spurious failures of
communication between the test nodes.)
