tests: raise a better error when patterns are wrongly formatted
It is fairly easy to make mistakes when merging conflict in the pattern file.
A common mistake is to forget adding an extra trailing comma changing the
length of the tuple.
We now detect such error and raise a better error message that helps to find
it.
#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function
import errno
import os
import sys
for f in sys.argv[1:]:
try:
print(f, '->', os.readlink(f))
except OSError as err:
if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
raise
print(f, '->', f, 'not a symlink')
sys.exit(0)
