The intent of the new test case is to catch general breakages in the fsck_tag() function, not so much to test it extensively, trying to strike the proper balance between thoroughness and speed. While it *would* have been nice to test the code path where fsck_object() encounters an invalid tag object, this is not possible using git fsck: tag objects are parsed already before fsck'ing (and the parser already fails upon such objects). Even worse: we would not even be able write out invalid tag objects because git hash-object parses those objects, too, unless we resorted to really ugly hacks such as using something like this in the unit tests (essentially depending on Perl *and* Compress::Zlib): hash_invalid_object () { contents="$(printf '%s %d\0%s' "$1" ${#2} "$2")" && sha1=$(echo "$contents" | test-sha1) && suffix=${sha1#??} && mkdir -p .git/objects/${sha1%$suffix} && echo "$contents" | perl -MCompress::Zlib -e 'undef $/; print compress(<>)' \ > .git/objects/${sha1%$suffix}/$suffix && echo $sha1 } Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> --- t/t1450-fsck.sh | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+) diff --git a/t/t1450-fsck.sh b/t/t1450-fsck.sh index 8c739c9..2b6a6f2 100755 --- a/t/t1450-fsck.sh +++ b/t/t1450-fsck.sh @@ -194,6 +194,26 @@ test_expect_success 'tag pointing to something else than its type' ' test_must_fail git fsck --tags ' +test_expect_success 'tag with incorrect tag name & missing tagger' ' + sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD) && + cat >wrong-tag <<-EOF && + object $sha + type commit + tag wrong name format + + This is an invalid tag. + EOF + + tag=$(git hash-object -t tag -w --stdin <wrong-tag) && + test_when_finished "remove_object $tag" && + echo $tag >.git/refs/tags/wrong && + test_when_finished "git update-ref -d refs/tags/wrong" && + git fsck --tags 2>out && + cat out && + grep "invalid .tag. name" out && + grep "expected .tagger. line" out +' + test_expect_success 'cleaned up' ' git fsck >actual 2>&1 && test_cmp empty actual -- 2.0.0.rc3.9669.g840d1f9 -- 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
