This PR adds a suite of snapshot tests for how bootstrap translates command-line “paths” (which are not necessarily actual paths) into a set of top-level steps to execute.
Unlike the existing suite of snapshot tests (for transitive step logging), I decided to use
.snapfiles over inline snapshots, because I find that inline snapshots quickly make test files impossible to navigate. Instead, I set up a macro that makes it relatively easy to add or modify test cases.Using
.snapfiles also means that the tests can be blessed by settingINSTA_UPDATE=always, without necessarily needing thecargo instatool installed, though the tool can still be used instead if desired.These snapshot tests capture current behavior, to prevent unintended changes or regressions. If the current behavior is wrong or undersirable, then any fix will necessarily have to re-bless the affected tests!
