The overall scope of these patches is to replace inappropriate uses of test_must_fail. IOW, we should only allow test_must_fail to run on `git` and `test-tool`. Ultimately, we will conclude by making test_must_fail error out on non-git commands. An advance view of the final series can be found here[1]. This is the first part. It focuses on t[01]*.sh and also t/lib-git-p4. Changes since v2: * Drop the inclusion of test_non_git_must_fail() and open code it instead Changes since v1: * Incorporate review comments by Junio, Eric and J6t * Further cleanup of t1507 before inlining full_name() (since we didn't want to inline full_name() into a bad command substitution) [1]: (may be rebased at any time) https://github.com/Denton-L/git/tree/ready/cleanup-test-must-fail2 Denton Liu (15): t/lib-git-p4: use test_path_is_missing() t0000: replace test_must_fail with run_sub_test_lib_test_err() t0003: use named parameters in attr_check() t0003: use test_must_be_empty() t0003: don't use `test_must_fail attr_check` t0020: don't use `test_must_fail has_cr` t0020: use ! check_packed_refs_marked t1306: convert `test_might_fail rm` to `rm -f` t1307: reorder `nongit test_must_fail` t1409: let sed open its own input file t1409: use test_path_is_missing() t1501: remove use of `test_might_fail cp` t1507: stop losing return codes of git commands t1507: run commands within test_expect_success t1507: inline full_name() t/lib-git-p4.sh | 2 +- t/t0000-basic.sh | 14 ++--- t/t0003-attributes.sh | 47 +++++++-------- t/t0020-crlf.sh | 18 +++--- t/t1306-xdg-files.sh | 8 +-- t/t1307-config-blob.sh | 2 +- t/t1409-avoid-packing-refs.sh | 16 +++--- t/t1501-work-tree.sh | 2 +- t/t1507-rev-parse-upstream.sh | 104 +++++++++++++++++++--------------- 9 files changed, 112 insertions(+), 101 deletions(-) Range-diff against v2: 1: 85cee92765 < -: ---------- test-lib-functions: introduce test_non_git_might_fail() 2: 3d64837af1 = 1: cf3dd04b8a t/lib-git-p4: use test_path_is_missing() 3: 778ae9052b = 2: 51a2226726 t0000: replace test_must_fail with run_sub_test_lib_test_err() 4: dbc82d45c6 = 3: 9374fcd8db t0003: use named parameters in attr_check() 5: e06a06cff5 = 4: 7f8808a850 t0003: use test_must_be_empty() 6: 219011f983 = 5: b725d53dbe t0003: don't use `test_must_fail attr_check` 7: 8da6c96b39 = 6: f6ef6d245c t0020: don't use `test_must_fail has_cr` 8: 27550eaae6 = 7: fc32b8d584 t0020: use ! check_packed_refs_marked 9: c19f6344a4 = 8: 7e29b0154e t1306: convert `test_might_fail rm` to `rm -f` 10: d6ea8a6df0 = 9: cf43579d65 t1307: reorder `nongit test_must_fail` 11: d57dfe95e2 = 10: e2fe278bfa t1409: let sed open its own input file 12: eacf4e0fb4 = 11: 1eef3f4bc5 t1409: use test_path_is_missing() 13: 83e47748bc ! 12: fddd224225 t1501: remove use of `test_might_fail cp` @@ Commit message The test_must_fail() family of functions (including test_might_fail()) should only be used on git commands. Replace test_might_fail() with - test_non_git_might_fail(). + a compound command wrapping the old cp invocation that always returns 0. The `test_might_fail cp` line was introduced in 466e8d5d66 (t1501: fix test with split index, 2015-03-24). It is necessary because there might exist some index files in `repo.git/sharedindex.*` and, if they exist, we want to copy them over. However, if they don't exist, we don't want to error out because we expect that possibility. As a result, we want to - keep the "might fail" semantics so we use test_non_git_might_fail(). + keep the "might fail" semantics so we always return 0, even if the + underlying cp errors out. ## t/t1501-work-tree.sh ## @@ t/t1501-work-tree.sh: test_expect_success 'Multi-worktree setup' ' @@ t/t1501-work-tree.sh: test_expect_success 'Multi-worktree setup' ' mkdir -p repo.git/repos/foo && cp repo.git/HEAD repo.git/index repo.git/repos/foo && - test_might_fail cp repo.git/sharedindex.* repo.git/repos/foo && -+ test_non_git_might_fail cp repo.git/sharedindex.* repo.git/repos/foo && ++ { cp repo.git/sharedindex.* repo.git/repos/foo || :; } && sane_unset GIT_DIR GIT_CONFIG GIT_WORK_TREE ' 14: 9e20865f94 = 13: 63ca18207d t1507: stop losing return codes of git commands 15: 7c61ac6b67 = 14: 44a410d57a t1507: run commands within test_expect_success 16: d09370455f = 15: 4fe445279b t1507: inline full_name() -- 2.24.1.703.g2f499f1283
