Commit 8bf4bec (add "ok=sigpipe" to test_must_fail and use it to fix flaky tests, 2015-11-27) taught t5504 to handle "git push" racily exiting with SIGPIPE rather than failing. However, one of the tests checks the output of the command, as well. In the SIGPIPE case, we will not have produced any output. If we want the test to be truly non-flaky, we have to accept either output. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- I'm not sure we're really accomplishing anything with this test_cmp anymore. We'll complain only if we get _some_ output, and it's not the expected output. I'm not sure if that's actually useful. It looks like 8bf4bec just dropped the test_cmp completely in one of the cases. So an alternative here would be to do the same. We _could_ also tighten this, to make sure the output matches the exit code we got (right now we can get code=128 with blank output and not complain, even though that's clearly bogus). But we'd have to abandon test_must_fail and do things manually. t/t5504-fetch-receive-strict.sh | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/t5504-fetch-receive-strict.sh b/t/t5504-fetch-receive-strict.sh index 89224ed..a3e12d2 100755 --- a/t/t5504-fetch-receive-strict.sh +++ b/t/t5504-fetch-receive-strict.sh @@ -101,7 +101,10 @@ test_expect_success 'push with receive.fsckobjects' ' git config transfer.fsckobjects false ) && test_must_fail ok=sigpipe git push --porcelain dst master:refs/heads/test >act && - test_cmp exp act + { + test_cmp exp act || + ! test -s act + } ' test_expect_success 'push with transfer.fsckobjects' ' -- 2.7.2.645.g4e1306c -- 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
