Fix widely supported but non-POSIX basic regex syntax introduced in [1] and [2]. On GNU, NetBSD and FreeBSD the following works: $ echo xy >f $ grep 'xy\?' f; echo $? xy 0 The same goes for "\+". The "?" and "+" syntax is not in the BRE syntax, just in ERE, but on some implementations it can be invoked by prefixing the meta-operator with "\", but not on OpenBSD: $ uname -a OpenBSD obsd.my.domain 6.2 GENERIC#132 amd64 $ grep --version grep version 0.9 $ grep 'xy\?' f; echo $? 1 Let's fix this by moving to ERE syntax instead, where "?" and "+" are universally supported: $ grep -E 'xy?' f; echo $? xy 0 1. 2ed5c8e174 ("describe: setup working tree for --dirty", 2019-02-03) 2. c801170b0c ("t6120: test for describe with a bare repository", 2019-02-03) Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> --- t/t6120-describe.sh | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t6120-describe.sh b/t/t6120-describe.sh index ee5b03ee18..2b883d8174 100755 --- a/t/t6120-describe.sh +++ b/t/t6120-describe.sh @@ -146,7 +146,7 @@ check_describe A-* HEAD test_expect_success 'describe works from outside repo using --git-dir' ' git clone --bare "$TRASH_DIRECTORY" "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/bare" && git --git-dir "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/bare" describe >out && - grep "^A-[1-9][0-9]\?-g[0-9a-f]\+$" out + grep -E "^A-[1-9][0-9]?-g[0-9a-f]+$" out ' check_describe "A-*[0-9a-f]" --dirty @@ -156,7 +156,7 @@ test_expect_success 'describe --dirty with --work-tree' ' cd "$TEST_DIRECTORY" && git --git-dir "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/.git" --work-tree "$TRASH_DIRECTORY" describe --dirty >"$TRASH_DIRECTORY/out" ) && - grep "^A-[1-9][0-9]\?-g[0-9a-f]\+$" out + grep -E "^A-[1-9][0-9]?-g[0-9a-f]+$" out ' test_expect_success 'set-up dirty work tree' ' @@ -170,7 +170,7 @@ test_expect_success 'describe --dirty with --work-tree (dirty)' ' cd "$TEST_DIRECTORY" && git --git-dir "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/.git" --work-tree "$TRASH_DIRECTORY" describe --dirty >"$TRASH_DIRECTORY/out" ) && - grep "^A-[1-9][0-9]\?-g[0-9a-f]\+-dirty$" out + grep -E "^A-[1-9][0-9]?-g[0-9a-f]+-dirty$" out ' check_describe "A-*[0-9a-f].mod" --dirty=.mod @@ -180,7 +180,7 @@ test_expect_success 'describe --dirty=.mod with --work-tree (dirty)' ' cd "$TEST_DIRECTORY" && git --git-dir "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/.git" --work-tree "$TRASH_DIRECTORY" describe --dirty=.mod >"$TRASH_DIRECTORY/out" ) && - grep "^A-[1-9][0-9]\?-g[0-9a-f]\+.mod$" out + grep -E "^A-[1-9][0-9]?-g[0-9a-f]+.mod$" out ' test_expect_success 'describe --dirty HEAD' ' -- 2.21.0.rc0.258.g878e2cd30e
