Hi David, Test t7900.5 fails for me, thus: $ ./t7900-index-helper.sh -i -v -x -d ... + test -S .git/index-helper.sock + git status On branch master Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) err nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) + test -S .git/index-helper.sock + grep -q . err error: last command exited with $?=1 not ok 5 - index-helper autorun works # # rm -f .git/index-helper.sock && # git status && # test_path_is_missing .git/index-helper.sock && # test_config indexhelper.autorun true && # git status && # test -S .git/index-helper.sock && # git status 2>err && # test -S .git/index-helper.sock && # ! grep -q . err && # git index-helper --kill && # test_config indexhelper.autorun false && # git status && # test_path_is_missing .git/index-helper.sock # $ cd trash\ directory.t7900-index-helper/ $ ls err x.t $ cat err warning: We requested watchman support from index-helper, but it doesn't support it. Please use a version of git index-helper with watchman support. $ [Yes, that is one long line in err!] [At least, this is one of the failures, I have also seen git status failing with a SIGPIPE.] Note that I do not have the watchman libraries etc., so USE_WATCHMAN is not defined. Note also, that I had an instance of git-index-helper still running after the test failure (which I kill-ed). I haven't spent any time debuging this, but some questions spring to mind: - can index-helper be used without watchman support? - why is index-helper requesting watchman support, when it was built without USE_WATCHMAN being defined? - why is read-cache.o exporting the verify_index and write_watchman_ext symbols? - is index-helper any use/help without watchman support? - is '! grep -q . err' meant to determine if the err file is empty (ie git status did not issue an error message)? [if yes, maybe 'test_must_be_empty err &&' would read better!] Unfortunately, I have to run now, ...
