So if the previous test case were to fail early or were not run at all (e.g. './t4014-format-patch.sh -r 1,137'), then that directory wouldn't exist, and, consequently, this test case would not check what it was supposed to. I think it would be better to be more explicit and self-contained about it, and create a leading directory in this test case: mkdir existing-dir && git format-patch -o existing-dir/side master..size && ls existing-dir/side >list && > + count=$(git rev-list --count master..side) && > + ls patches/side >list && > + test_line_count = $count list > +' > + > +test_expect_success 'format-patch -o with leading non-existing directories' ' > + rm -fr patches && > + git format-patch -o patches/side master..side && > + count=$(git rev-list --count master..side) && > + ls patches/side >list && > + test_line_count = $count list > +' > + > test_expect_success 'format-patch format.outputDirectory option' ' > test_config format.outputDirectory patches && > rm -fr patches && > -- > 2.23.0.13.g28bc381d7c >
