That test would sometimes fail because of the semantics of
expect
andsend
when the expected string was previously written usingsend
.When
expect
is called, the buffer looked at includes content previously sent usingsend
. This means that if one runssend "foo"; expect foo
, theexpect
call will match instataneously even if the program's output after the send does not containfoo
.In the case of the test fixed here, we are supposed to expect for the new prompt to be printed after setting it with
\set prompt1
. In order to properly check whether the prompt changed, this PR changes the promptexpect
call to use a regular expression that matches the new prompt only if it sits in the beginning of a line.Prior to this commit, since the
expect
call would return immediately, there was a chance thesend "SET DATABASE"
command could run before the cockroach CLI had the chance to print the new prompt, leading to the following error:Epic: None
