Go has no per-file test targets: the PACKAGE is the unit of testing
(`go test ./...`) and same-package test files compose together. The
59-target LIBRARY_TESTS fan-out (per-file -w workdirs, one Make rule
per suite) collapses to one line: `ww test -j $(JOBS) -w
out/wwbuild/wwtest-lib -I lib/ww lib/...` — the regex dir-route
precedent generalized. The lib/regex line and the per-file pattern
rule instance dissolve with it (test/lang keeps its own rule).
Measured before committing (-j4, strings edit row): old per-file
warm 4.7-4.9s; bare walk 5.2-5.6s — a real regression, so the
coordinator first gained the brief's persistent per-package workdir:
`-w DIR` on a package target forwards to wwpackage, which keys
DIR/<dir>_<pkg> per group and hands it to each inner `ww test -c`
build. Reuse stays entirely with the driver's existing
content-identity contract — the coordinator adds pure path policy,
no cache machinery. Both driver stages drop their package-target -w
rejects (forward instead); -w with -c stays rejected at the
coordinator (two ownership contracts). After: 3.9-4.0s on the edit
row, 1.0s warm no-op, 2.5s cold — faster than the old flow on every
row.
package_test's tree -w reject row becomes the positive contract
(cold+warm byte-stable stream, cs/ww same) plus the -c conflict
reject. libbyteid roster shape DECIDED: per-file fx entries stay —
every enrolled file is still standalone-buildable, so coverage is
byte-for-byte unchanged; the dir-mode entry form arrives only with
the B3 shared-helper split that first needs it. Docs: owner table,
target table, -w contract paragraph.
The last Open-driver-work bullet. `-c -o <name>` replaces the fixed
<package>.test stem for exactly one package; the coordinator rejects a
multi-package fan-out ("cannot use -o with multiple packages", Go's
`go test -o` rule) and -o without -c is rejected at the driver
("needs -c for a package target" — a plain run executes from the temp
root, so a caller-owned name has nothing to name). Both driver stages
byte-identical wording; -S keeps its single-file-only reject.
package_test gains the contract row (naming, fixed-stem absence,
artifact runs, both rejects, both drivers); the tree-mode -o row's
pinned wording follows the contract.
test/package/runtime/ was a manual README-driven corpus with no
target. Its unique surface — the driver's single-file ww test leg,
the unmet-expected-abort outcome, and the published -c binary's own
CLI (repeated globs, -list, -timeout-ms, direct-binary timeout and
descendant handling) — is now asserted by three new @test fns in
package_test.ww; the README drops its manual-run instructions.
Single-directory package-test planner: discovers *.ww, groups white-box
and external <pkg>_test sources, composes the combined test package,
builds it through the sibling ww driver, and runs it with the runtime's
-package/-list/-timeout-ms contract. test/package holds its E2E corpus
and the manual runtime fixture set.
