I wondered if we could use test_cmp instead of a counting grep here, but this is looking at gpg spew, and we probably don't want to count on that never changing. I don't see us actually verifying that "count" is 3, though. > + ! grep "BADSIG" actual && Makes sense... > + grep -E "tag\ .*" tagnames | uniq -u | wc - l | grep "3" Do we need "grep -E" here? I don't see any extended regex in use. Is there a reason to backslash-escape the space? Your "wc -l" has an extra space, which means "read stdin, and then the file 'l'". Which sort-of happens to work, except as you noticed, you have to grep for "3" instead of matching it. I think, though, that rather than counting we could just write what we expect into a file and compare that. It makes it easier for somebody reading the test to see what it is we're trying to do. In fact, I suspect you could replace the "GOODSIG" check as well by doing something like: # verifying 3 tags in one invocation should be exactly like # verifying the 3 separately tags="fourth-signed sixth-signed seventh-signed" for i in $tags; do git verify-tag -v --raw $i || return 1 done >expect.stdout 2>expect.stderr && git verify-tag -v --raw $tags >actual.stdout 2>actual.stderr && test_cmp expect.stdout actual.stdout && test_cmp expect.stderr actual.stderr but I didn't test it. -Peff -- 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
