The code shouldn't exit if code is 0. Duh! Sorry for that. Your original code indeed has 'else if (code != 0)'. Thanks for catching this. BTW, the test suite passes nevertheless. Aren't there any tests that exercise the code path, or do I have them disabled somehow? So, yes: I didn't test the change. Here is the amended commit that replaces the tip of js/exec-error-report, with some light testing this time. --- 8< --- From: Ilari Liusvaara <ilari.liusvaara@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [PATCH] Improve error message when a transport helper was not found Perviously, the error message was: git: 'remote-foo' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'. By not treating the transport helper as a git command, a more suitable error is reported: fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'foo' Signed-off-by: Ilari Liusvaara <ilari.liusvaara@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@xxxxxxxx> --- transport-helper.c | 14 ++++++++++---- 1 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/transport-helper.c b/transport-helper.c index 6ece0d9..7dce4a4 100644 --- a/transport-helper.c +++ b/transport-helper.c @@ -102,6 +102,7 @@ static struct child_process *get_helper(struct transport *transport) int refspec_nr = 0; int refspec_alloc = 0; int duped; + int code; if (data->helper) return data->helper; @@ -111,13 +112,18 @@ static struct child_process *get_helper(struct transport *transport) helper->out = -1; helper->err = 0; helper->argv = xcalloc(4, sizeof(*helper->argv)); - strbuf_addf(&buf, "remote-%s", data->name); + strbuf_addf(&buf, "git-remote-%s", data->name); helper->argv[0] = strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL); helper->argv[1] = transport->remote->name; helper->argv[2] = remove_ext_force(transport->url); - helper->git_cmd = 1; - if (start_command(helper)) - die("Unable to run helper: git %s", helper->argv[0]); + helper->git_cmd = 0; + helper->silent_exec_failure = 1; + code = start_command(helper); + if (code < 0 && errno == ENOENT) + die("Unable to find remote helper for '%s'", data->name); + else if (code != 0) + exit(code); + data->helper = helper; data->no_disconnect_req = 0; -- 1.6.6.115.gd1ab3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
