t7610-mergetool.sh fails on systems without mktemp. mktemp is used in git-mergetool.sh and throws an error when it's not available. error: mktemp is needed when 'mergetool.writeToTemp' is true I see 2 options: 1. code around it, write an own mktemp, maybe use the test-mktemp as a basis. 2. disable the test when mktemp is not available >From my point of view option 2 would be enough. Any opinions about that? Peff suggested something like this... works for me. This patch is probably whitespace damaged... I could not yet figure out a way to use and preserve tabs with Google mail. --- diff --git a/t/t7610-mergetool.sh b/t/t7610-mergetool.sh index 76306cf..9279bf5 100755 --- a/t/t7610-mergetool.sh +++ b/t/t7610-mergetool.sh @@ -589,7 +589,12 @@ test_expect_success 'filenames seen by tools start with ./' ' git reset --hard master >/dev/null 2>&1 ' -test_expect_success 'temporary filenames are used with mergetool.writeToTemp' ' +test_lazy_prereq MKTEMP ' + tempdir=$(mktemp -d -t foo.XXX) && + test -d "$tempdir" +' + +test_expect_success MKTEMP 'temporary filenames are used with mergetool.writeToTemp' ' git checkout -b test16 branch1 && test_config mergetool.writeToTemp true && test_config mergetool.myecho.cmd "echo \"\$LOCAL\"" && -- 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
