Overview ¶
Package testenv provides shared process-environment isolation for test binaries. Blank-import this from any test package whose tests invoke `git` so the developer's global git config (`~/.gitconfig`) does not leak into the subprocess environment.
What this avoids: when a developer has `commit.gpgsign=true` and a passphrase-protected SSH/GPG signing key configured globally, every `git commit` in a test fixture inherits that config and blocks waiting for a passphrase prompt the test runner cannot satisfy. Result: cascade failures across `internal/codedb/index`, `internal/doctor`, `internal/repotools`, `internal/uninstall`, `internal/secrets`, etc.
The Makefile (`TEST_GIT_ISOLATION` in the `test`/`test-cover`/ `test-all`/`test-slow` recipes) sets the same env vars at the `make`-driver level. This package covers the direct `go test ./pkg/` case — which IDE-driven runs and ad-hoc `go test` use — so the passing/failing posture is identical whether tests are invoked via make or go.
Usage:
package mypkg_test
import (
_ "github.com/sageox/ox/internal/testenv"
)
init() honors existing env vars; if the Makefile or a CI environment already set them, we leave those values in place.
