Description
@reactive-firewall requested to add an improved comment to the top of the tests/check_legacy_setup_coverage script to explain its purpose and exit codes.
Improved Comment:
# This script performs coverage testing on the setup.py file for the multicast project.
# It accomplishes the following tasks:
# 1. Sets up error handling and cleanup mechanisms to ensure proper execution.
# 2. Determines the test root directory based on the project structure.
# 3. Configures the coverage command for Python.
# 4. Generates test reports using the project's Makefile.
# 5. Executes setup.py with coverage, specifically checking the --name, --version, and --license options.
# This ensures that:
# - The package metadata is correctly read from setup.cfg
# - The readFile function properly handles reading README.md, requirements.txt, and LICENSE.md
# - The package requirements are correctly parsed
# - The package classifiers are properly set
# 6. Combines coverage data and generates an XML report for analysis.
# 7. Copies log files to the test reports directory for record-keeping.
#
# Exit Code Summary:
# The script uses the EXIT_CODE variable to track exit conditions:
# - EXIT_CODE=0: Successful execution.
# - EXIT_CODE=1: General failure (default).
# - EXIT_CODE=2: Coverage combine or XML generation failed.
# - EXIT_CODE=3: Make command failed.
# - EXIT_CODE=40: Missing valid repository or source structure.
# - EXIT_CODE=126: Script already in progress or command not executable.
# - EXIT_CODE=129: Received SIGHUP signal.
# - EXIT_CODE=130: Received SIGINT signal (Ctrl+C).
# - EXIT_CODE=131: Received SIGQUIT signal.
# - EXIT_CODE=137: Received SIGABRT signal.
# - EXIT_CODE=143: Received SIGTERM signal.
#
# The primary goal is to ensure that all parts of setup.py are executed when queried for
# basic package information, helping maintain the integrity of the package configuration
# and ensuring that the package can be properly installed and distributed.
