Sorry, I was thinking narrowly about the "git log" tests in t7006-pager.sh. I was saying that there, the fact that lib-terminal.sh creates an environment in which stdin is not guaranteed to be a terminal is a feature, not a bug, since it improves the test coverage (and I tend to find the "stdin not a tty" case more interesting). That said, a test for the implicit HEAD behavior of "git shortlog" would be a welcome addition to t4201-shortlog.sh, and we might need a helper "test_with_stdin_as_a_terminal" for that. The tests you mentioned in t7006 are just buggy --- it was just meant to make sure we don't regress in the change introduced by 773b69bf ("shortlog: run setup_git_directory_gently() sooner"), and I doubt I was thinking about the "implicit HEAD when stdin is a tty" behavior at all. So independently of everything else, I believe we should do the following. -- >8 -- Subject: test: do not let "git shortlog" DWIM based on tty In the spirit of v1.7.3.3~14^2 (t4203: do not let "git shortlog" DWIM based on tty, 2010-10-19), do not leave out the revision argument to "git shortlog" and rely on the default of HEAD in the usual case that standard input is not connected to a terminal. Otherwise, tests break when you do git rev-list <range> | while read sha; do git checkout sha make test done Reported-by: Thomas Rast <trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx> --- t/t7006-pager.sh | 10 +++++----- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t7006-pager.sh b/t/t7006-pager.sh index 320e1d1d..6f05b11a 100755 --- a/t/t7006-pager.sh +++ b/t/t7006-pager.sh @@ -409,14 +409,14 @@ test_GIT_PAGER_overrides expect_success test_must_fail 'git -p' test_doesnt_paginate expect_failure test_must_fail 'git -p nonsense' -test_pager_choices 'git shortlog' +test_pager_choices 'git shortlog HEAD' test_expect_success 'setup: configure shortlog not to paginate' ' git config pager.shortlog false ' -test_doesnt_paginate expect_success 'git shortlog' -test_no_local_config_subdir expect_success 'git shortlog' -test_default_pager expect_success 'git -p shortlog' -test_core_pager_subdir expect_success 'git -p shortlog' +test_doesnt_paginate expect_success 'git shortlog HEAD' +test_no_local_config_subdir expect_success 'git shortlog HEAD' +test_default_pager expect_success 'git -p shortlog HEAD' +test_core_pager_subdir expect_success 'git -p shortlog HEAD' test_core_pager_subdir expect_success test_must_fail \ 'git -p apply </dev/null' -- 1.7.8 -- 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
