On OS X, the grep pattern "\"OP .*/objects/$x2/X38_X40 HTTP/[.0-9]*\" 20[0-9] " is too long ($x38 and $x40 represent 38 and 40 copies of [0-9a-f]) for grep to handle. In order to still be able to match this, use the sed invocation to replace what we're looking for with a token.

Yes, of course. The reason it ended up the way it did was that I first tried replacing $x40 with SHA-1, but that was still too long. Your way makes more sense in the end, although the $x38_$x40 bit needs to be ${x38}_$x40 so the shell looks for the right variable. diff --git a/t/t5540-http-push.sh b/t/t5540-http-push.sh index a266ca5..64767d8 100755 --- a/t/t5540-http-push.sh +++ b/t/t5540-http-push.sh @@ -132,8 +132,12 @@ x38="$x5$x5$x5$x5$x5$x5$x5$x1$x1$x1" x40="$x38$x2" test_expect_success 'PUT and MOVE sends object to URLs with SHA-1 hash suffix' ' - sed -e "s/PUT /OP /" -e "s/MOVE /OP /" "$HTTPD_ROOT_PATH"/access.log | - grep -e "\"OP .*/objects/$x2/${x38}_$x40 HTTP/[.0-9]*\" 20[0-9] " + sed \ + -e "s/PUT /OP /" \ + -e "s/MOVE /OP /" \ + -e "s|/objects/$x2/${x38}_$x40|WANTED_PATH_REQUEST|" \ + "$HTTPD_ROOT_PATH"/access.log | + grep -e "\"OP .*WANTED_PATH_REQUEST HTTP/[.0-9]*\" 20[0-9] " ' -- 1.7.7.rc0.308.g517a2 -- 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
