J. Nick Koston eb982e07a7 Veto the ld-script cache stamp when the warn note is lost, widen the linker denylist
A failed stderr-sidecar write no longer stamps the cache: the next build
re-runs -E and re-derives the preprocessor diagnostic honestly instead
of losing it for the life of the build dir. The sidecar unlink joins the
best-effort contract. The plain-linker denylist gains the
-nodefaultlibs/-nostdlib/-rdynamic family and the -fuse-ld=/--specs=
prefixes, with a comment naming it best-effort rather than complete.
The damaged-file helper test now lives only in test_helpers.py beside
the OSError-branch coverage.

Tests for ESPHome

This directory contains some tests for ESPHome. At the moment, all the tests only work by simply executing esphome over some YAML files that are made to test whether the yaml gets converted to the proper C++ code.

Of course this is all just very high-level and things like unit tests would be much better. So if you have time and know how to set up a unit testing framework for python, please do give it a try.

When adding entries in test_.yaml files we usually need only one file updated, unless conflicting code is generated for different configurations, e.g. wifi and ethernet cannot be tested on the same device.

Current test_.yaml file contents.
