In prior work (#1938) we enabled the
SIGUSR1
andSIGINFO
handlers to dump internal state to standard output.However, those handlers aren't present on all platforms.
SIGINFO
doesn't exist on Linux.SIGUSR1
exists but is hard to send signals over (have to usekill
, nothing like^T
).As an alternative, allow these platforms to specify
t
to dump current test information to the interactive terminal.It would also be interesting to support a Unix domain socket as a way to query current state in the future, and have a separate instance of nextest be able to connect to the socket -- this work naturally builds towards that kind of model.
