 so that's the first problem... you give adb more credit than it
 deserves. of its many misfeatures, pertinent ones here are: it won't
 work in a pipe,

I've wrapped stuff in pipe to pty translation before to make something
that really cared about having a controlling terminal think it had one.
I've also done ratelimiting for crap like qemu's powerpc serial
emulation where incoming data bigger than the serial buffer size gets
discarded.

 it won't return the exit status of the command it ran,

You'll notice the test command isn't checking exit status either,
which is why all the || echo yes and such.

 and it will add a \r to every line of output.

 i need to fix all of
 those, but none of them have become the most urgent fire yet, and no
 one's sent completely convincing patches. facebook wrote their own adb
 client (but it's an extended subset and doesn't support Windows [or
 the Mac?] so it's not really a replacement).

Lovely.

What's the adb transport, anyway? Toybox netcat has a -f mode that
connects to a file instead of stdin/stdout, which I've used as
half-assed microcom before. (I believe the help text describes how. A
todo item is making a _proper_ microcom alias for it, but that involves
writing stty first.)

(Alas the recent netcat patch to change the command line option parsing
broke server mode. I have a todo item to fix that before the release but
I've been fighting with my aboriginal linux test environment for a
couple weeks now and that's a blocker for doing a release of either
because the lfs-bootstrap with current toybox on a current kernel is my
main regression test.)

 anyway... something like this lets you run stuff like the pwd tests on
 a connected Android device. ($ANDROID_SERIAL is how you tell adb which
 Android device to talk to if there are several connected, without
 having to specify it on every command line. since you'd want to set
 that anyway before running the tests, that seemed reasonable.)

 system setup is a problem.

Did I mention that I have the first 1/3 or so of a 9p fileserver here,
and that when I sat next to a Samba developer at texas linuxfest last
year he told me that writing an smb server that _just_ served the newest
protocol version in posix mode was probably a simpler protocol than
9p2000.L? (He sent me links and everything.)

It's on the todo list. Also, Apple apparently wrote their own samba
replacement as part of their great GPL purge:

 one possibility i've wondered about is factoring that out into a
 script of its own. this would have two advantages: 1. only one place
 to fix all this stuff for Android/ssh/whatever and 2. less boilerplate
 in each test script. if there was some known file system tree for
 commands to work on.

not really because we always need the whole tree anyway, but cd
bionic ; mma -j32 is probably a good place to start to only build the
dependencies. (this is after the usual source build/envsetup.sh ;
lunch aosp_x86_64-eng.) there's a build target in bionic/tests to run
the tests on the host that will set up /system so that Android
binaries will run (because the toolchain hardcodes the linker's path,
and that's /system/bin/linker64). everything else can be diverted with
environment variables, which that build target also does.

the file using root and shell for Android.)

as i've said, Android doesn't have /etc/passwd (or /etc/group), and it
doesn't have setpwent/getpwent/endpwent (or equivalents). you *can* do
uid/gid or name lookups though, because they do make some degree of
sense. (so id(1) works.) i've considered implementing getpwent so that
it would cycle through the well known users, but we don't actually
have an example of anything that would use it, and it's really not
obvious that we'd be doing anyone any favors --- code calling getpwent
that wants to run on Android needs to think long and hard about
exactly what it means by that, and whether it makes any sense at all.
so going back to your in pending ... because Android, i think you
should just ignore us as far as adduser/userdel are concerned. i don't
think there's anything useful you can do.

the fact that Android tends to be pretty locked down with SELinux
means it's going to be tricky to test a lot of toybox things, but
getting to a point where i can run the test suite is definitely a
goal. just not a priority (because i can run the tests on the desktop
with bionic).

 There are some minor hiccups with your patch ( redirects both stdout
 and stderr, and then you redirect stderr again?) but it's better than
 what was there. I'll probably apply it this weekend. (Bured by $DAYJOB
 right now...)
