Even though I'm the one who suggested this ${sq}, I have to agree with this suggestion. The result looks like test_expect_success 'alignment with quote' " cat >expect <<-\EOF && refname is ' '\\'''master'\\'' ... " Because you used "" at the toplevel, ' is not a special character anymore. You do have to be careful with \\ though, but adding before EOF as I did should do the trick. Untested. You don't have test for nested alignment with quotes. I think it deserves to be tested, if only to cast in stone that the current behavior is your intention. Perhaps just adding --shell to the test below would be OK to avoid the proliferation of tests : > +test_expect_success 'nested alignment' ' > + cat >expect <<-\EOF && > + | master | > + | side | > + | odd/spot | > + | double-tag | > + | four | > + | one | > + | signed-tag | > + | three | > + | two | > + EOF > + git for-each-ref --format="|%(align:30,left)%(align:15,right)%(refname:short)%(end)%(end)|" >actual && > + test_cmp expect actual > +' > + > test_done -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
