[PATCH] t/perf/run: fix bin-wrappers computation

From: Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-21 15:46:17

From: Derrick Stolee <redacted>

The GIT_TEST_INSTALLED was moved from perf-lib.sh to run in df0f5021
(perf-lib.sh: remove GIT_TEST_INSTALLED from perf-lib.sh, 2019-05-07)
and that included a change to how it inspected the existence of a
bin-wrappers directory. However, that included a typo that made the
match of bin-wrappers never work. Specifically, the assignment was

	mydir_abs_wrappers="$mydir_abs_wrappers/bin-wrappers"

which uses the same variable before it is initialized. By changing it to

	mydir_abs_wrappers="$mydir_abs/bin-wrappers"

We can correctly use the bin-wrappers directory.

This is critical to successfully computing performance of commands that
execute subcommands. The bin-wrappers ensure that the --exec-path is set
correctly.

    Found this while we were testing sparse index improvements to 'git
    stash', which uses a lot of subcommands.
    
    Thanks, -Stolee

Just sanity-checking everything you said: with this bug, we'll set
mydir_abs_wrappers to "/bin-wrappers", then realize that directory
doesn't exist, and fall back to GIT_TEST_INSTALLED=$mydir_abs. Putting
'set -x' at the top of t/perf/run, we can see the relevant section:

  + mydir=build/73cd7d9420bb7d75207e8149521db375c789a81c
  + cd build/73cd7d9420bb7d75207e8149521db375c789a81c
  + pwd
  + mydir_abs=/home/ttaylorr/src/git/t/perf/build/73cd7d9420bb7d75207e8149521db375c789a81c
  + mydir_abs_wrappers=/bin-wrappers
  + test -d /bin-wrappers
  + GIT_TEST_INSTALLED=/home/ttaylorr/src/git/t/perf/build/73cd7d9420bb7d75207e8149521db375c789a81c
  + export GIT_TEST_INSTALLED

OK. But the real problem is in t/test-lib.sh where we read
"$GIT_TEST_INSTALLED". There we ask for the `--exec-path`, which appears
to be wrong, at least in my setup. Printing out the $GIT_EXEC_PATH and
$GIT_TEST_INSTALLED, I get:

  /home/ttaylorr/local/git/ds.sparse-checkout/libexec/git-core,
  /home/ttaylorr/src/git/t/perf/build/73cd7d9420bb7d75207e8149521db375c789a81c

where the former is the branch I happen to have checked out, and the
latter is the revision that I asked to run performance tests on via
t/perf/run.

So I think we'll run the right top-level Git command since the latter
path ends up first in our $PATH, but the exec path is definitely wrong.

Thanks for digging into this more. This issue with GIT_EXEC_PATH explains
some strangeness I was seeing.

Perhaps there is something more robust to be done around GIT_EXEC_PATH,
but the current fix satisfies my needs.
