[PATCH 1/2] tests: fix non-portable "${var:-"str"}" construct

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

 



On both AIX 7200-00-01-1543 and FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p2 the
"${var:-"str"}" syntax means something different than what it does
under the bash or dash shells.

Both will consider the start of the new unescaped quotes to be a new
argument to test_expect_success, resulting in the following error:

    error: bug in the test script: 'git diff-tree initial # magic
    is (not' does not look like a prereq

Fix this by removing the redundant quotes. There's no need for them,
and the resulting code works under all the aforementioned shells. This
fixes a regression in c2f1d3989 ("t4013: test new output from diff
--abbrev --raw", 2017-12-03) first released with Git v2.16.0.
