Dmitri Shuralyov 7a0799b2c0 cmd/dist, test: convert test/run.go runner to a cmd/go test 
As motivated on the issue, we want to move the functionality of the
run.go program to happen via a normal go test. Each .go test case in
the GOROOT/test directory gets a subtest, and cmd/go's support for
parallel test execution replaces run.go's own implementation thereof.

The goal of this change is to have fairly minimal and readable diff
while making an atomic changeover. The working directory is modified
during the test execution to be GOROOT/test as it was with run.go,
and most of the test struct and its run method are kept unchanged.
The next CL in the stack applies further simplifications and cleanups
that become viable.

There's no noticeable difference in test execution time: it takes around
60-80 seconds both before and after on my machine. Test caching, which
the previous runner lacked, can shorten the time significantly.

For #37486.
Fixes #56844.

Raw Blame History

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime. It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests. They are run as part of all.bash.

To run just these tests, execute:

../bin/go test internal/testdir

To run just tests from specified files in this directory, execute:

../bin/go test internal/testdir -run='Test/(file1.go|file2.go|...)'

Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.

The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages. The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:

  • it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
  • it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
