Prior to this change, if we saw more than one repaint readline command in
a row, we would try to ignore the second one. However this was never the
right thing to do since sometimes we really do need to repaint twice in a
row (e.g. the user hits Ctrl+L twice). Previously we were saved by the
buginess of this mechanism but with the repainting refactoring we see
missing redraws.
Remove the coalescing logic and add a test. Fixes#7280.
Make it easier to use pexpect and to understand its error messages.
Switch to a style in tests using bound methods, which makes them
less noisy to write.
This adds a new interactive test framework based on Python's pexpect. This
is intended to supplant the TCL expect-based tests.
New tests go in `tests/pexpects/`. As a proof-of-concept, the
pipeline.expect test and the (gnarly) bind.expect test are ported to the
new framework.
