This patch removes the snapshot/rollback system for the tests and replaces it with a simple cleanup script that removes the appropriate files from the VM's $HOME before every test. A side benefit is that there is no more dependency on the Sahara plugin. The cleanup script may not provide as good isolation between independent tests as the previous setup, but it is orders of magnitude faster to run without a VM rollback for every single test, and it does not break any of the current tests. |

Testing
Dotbot testing code uses Vagrant to run all tests inside a virtual machine to have tests be completely isolated from the host machine.
Installing the Test environnement
Debian-based distributions
- Install the test requirements
sudo apt install vagrant virtualbox
- Install Dotbot dependencies
git submodule update --init --recursive
macOS

Running the Tests
Before running the tests, the virtual machine must be running. It can be
started by running vagrant up.
The test suite can be run by running ./test. Selected tests can be run by
passing paths to the tests as arguments to ./test.
Tests can be run with a specific Python version by running ./test --version <version> - for example, ./test --version 3.4.3.
When finished with testing, it is good to shut down the virtual machine by
running vagrant halt.
