Enable ui.formatted because pager won't fire without it, and set up
pager and tell it to use our fake pager that lets us see when the
pager was running.

By default diff and log are paged, but id is not:

  $ hg diff -c 2 --pager=yes

We can control the pager from the config

  $ hg log --limit 1 --config 'ui.paginate=False'
  changeset:   10:46106edeeb38
  tag:         tip
  user:        test

explicit --pager=on should take precedence over other configurations
(issue5580)

We can enable the pager on id:

BROKEN: should be paged
  $ hg --config pager.attend-id=yes id
  46106edeeb38 tip

Setting attend-$COMMAND to a false value works, even with pager in
core:
  $ hg --config pager.attend-diff=no diff -c 2
  diff -r f4be7687d414 -r bce265549556 a
  --- a/a	Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000

  @@ -1,2 +1,3 @@

Command aliases should have same behavior as main command

  $ hg history --limit 2
  paged! 'changeset:   10:46106edeeb38\n'
  paged! 'tag:         tip\n'
  paged! 'user:        test\n'
  paged! 'date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000\n'

  paged! 'summary:     modify a 9\n'
  paged! '\n'

Abbreviated command alias should also be paged

  $ hg hist -l 1
  paged! 'changeset:   10:46106edeeb38\n'
  paged! 'tag:         tip\n'
  paged! 'user:        test\n'
  paged! 'date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000\n'
  paged! 'summary:     modify a 10\n'
  paged! '\n'

Attend for an abbreviated command does not work

  $ hg --config pager.attend-ident=true ident
  46106edeeb38 tip

  $ hg --config extensions.pager= --config pager.attend-ident=true ident
  46106edeeb38 tip

Pager should not start if stdout is not a tty.

  $ hg log -l1 -q --config ui.formatted=False
  10:46106edeeb38

Pager should be disabled if pager.pager is empty (otherwise the output would
be silently lost.)

  $ hg log -l1 -q --config pager.pager=
  10:46106edeeb38

Pager with color enabled allows colors to come through by default,
even though stdout is no longer a tty.
  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [ui]
  > color = always
  > [color]
  > mode = ansi

  $ hg log --limit 3

#if no-chg
An invalid pager command name is reported sensibly if we don't have to
use shell=True in the subprocess call:
  $ hg log --limit 3 --config pager.pager=this-command-better-never-exist
  missing pager command 'this-command-better-never-exist', skipping pager
  \x1b[0;33mchangeset:   10:46106edeeb38\x1b[0m (esc)

#endif

A complicated pager command gets worse behavior. Bonus points if you can
improve this.
  $ hg log --limit 3 \

Pager works with shell aliases.

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [alias]
  > echoa = !echo a
  > EOF

  $ hg echoa
  a
BROKEN: should be paged
  $ hg --config pager.attend-echoa=yes echoa
  a

Pager works with hg aliases including environment variables.

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<'EOF'
  > [alias]
  > printa = log -T "$A\n" -r 0
  > EOF

  $ A=1 hg --config pager.attend-printa=yes printa
  paged! '1\n'
  $ A=2 hg --config pager.attend-printa=yes printa
  paged! '2\n'

Something that's explicitly attended is still not paginated if the
pager is globally set to off using a flag:
  $ A=2 hg --config pager.attend-printa=yes printa --pager=no
  2

Pager should not override the exit code of other commands

  $ cat >> $TESTTMP/fortytwo.py <<'EOF'
  > from mercurial import commands, registrar
  > cmdtable = {}
  > command = registrar.command(cmdtable)
  > @command(b'fortytwo', [], b'fortytwo', norepo=True)
  > def fortytwo(ui, *opts):
  >     ui.write(b'42\n')
  >     return 42
  > EOF

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<'EOF'
  > [extensions]
  > fortytwo = $TESTTMP/fortytwo.py
  > EOF

  $ hg fortytwo --pager=on
  paged! '42\n'
  [42]

A command that asks for paging using ui.pager() directly works:
  $ hg blame a
  paged! ' 0: a\n'
  paged! ' 1: a 1\n'
  paged! ' 2: a 2\n'
  paged! ' 3: a 3\n'
  paged! ' 4: a 4\n'
  paged! ' 5: a 5\n'
  paged! ' 6: a 6\n'
  paged! ' 7: a 7\n'
  paged! ' 8: a 8\n'
  paged! ' 9: a 9\n'
  paged! '10: a 10\n'
but not with HGPLAIN
  $ HGPLAIN=1 hg blame a
   0: a
   1: a 1
   2: a 2
   3: a 3
   4: a 4
   5: a 5
   6: a 6
   7: a 7
   8: a 8
   9: a 9
  10: a 10
explicit flags work too:
  $ hg blame --pager=no a
   0: a
   1: a 1
   2: a 2
   3: a 3
   4: a 4
   5: a 5
   6: a 6
   7: a 7
   8: a 8
   9: a 9
  10: a 10

A command with --output option:

  $ hg cat -r0 a
  paged! 'a\n'
  $ hg cat -r0 a --output=-
  paged! 'a\n'
  $ hg cat -r0 a --output=out

  $ cat > $TESTTMP/pushbufferpager.py <<EOF
