[unittests] Add a helper function for getting an input file
ClosedPublic

Summary

Fetching an input file required about five lines of code, and this was
repeated in multiple unit tests, with slight variations. Add a helper
function for doing that into the lldbUtilityMocks module (which I rename
to lldbUtilityHelpers to commemorate the fact it includes more than
mocks)

Great change. The only comment I have is about location of TestUtilities.cpp.
Utility\Helpers kinda implies that these are helpers for Utility tests which is not true.

I would move it up one level up lldb/unittests/TestUtilities.cpp

this should be const Twine &name. Also can you call this GetInputFilePath()? At first I was assuming it would return the contents of the file.

Hm.. that makes sort of sense for this function.

However, right now I can't think of any other utility function that would go here. OTOH, I have a couple of ideas about the use of the XXX/Helpers/YYY.h pattern. For example, in Host/Helpers we could have a utility function which creates two connected sockets (already needed for a couple tests), and Core/Helpers could contain mocked versions of various Process/Target/... classes (as no higher level functionality can be tested without one of those around).

That's why I'd like to avoid creating a module if it's going to contain just this function. And with that in mind putting in in Utility/Helpers makes sense as that's the place everyone can pull it from without grabbing additional dependencies.
