[PATCH] test-lib-functions: fix logic error in test_must_fail

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After commit 710eb805 ("implement test_might_fail using a refactored
test_must_fail", 19-11-2015) several tests now unexpectedly pass:

  $ tail -21 ptest-out
  [17:25:53]
  All tests successful.

Fix the logic bug in the refactored test_must_fail. Also, use the
integer comparison operator -eq when comparing the exit code, rather
than the string = operator.

Hi Lars,

This patch is on top of the pu branch, but it relates to the two
patches on your 'ls/test-must-fail-sigpipe' branch. Could you
please squash the relevant parts of this patch into your patches.

So, in addition to the logic error in commit 710eb805, I modified
the test introduced by commit 653a48e56 ("add "ok=sigpipe" to
test_must_fail and use it to fix flaky tests", 19-11-2015).

Since I cannot test this second change (t5516 and t5504 don't
fail for me), I don't know if this change is correct - please
test and confirm. (No, it's not clear to me exactly what this
commit is supposed to do! :-D ).

[I didn't have time to go look what value would be returned by
a case statement where there is no 'default' limb - I suspect
that it is undefined behaviour. Even if it is defined, do all
shells behave properly? In any event, it is much simpler to
compare the strings directly!]

I have to say, I'm not keen on either of these commits, but Jeff
and Junio seem OK with it, so ... (the tests being flaky implies
that the git client is flaky - we should fix that).

Thanks.

ATB,
Ramsay Jones
