Functions test_dirty_unmergeable() and test_dirty_mergeable() expect git-diff to exit with the specific code 1. However, rather than checking for that value explicitly, they instead negate the exit code. Unfortunately, this negation makes it impossible to distinguish the expected code from some other unexpected non-zero code, for instance, from a segmentation fault. Therefore, be more discerning by checking the exit code explicitly using test_expect_code(). Furthermore, some callers of those functions want to negate the result again, and do so with test_must_fail(). However, test_must_fail() should only be used with git commands. Address this by introducing a couple new tiny helper functions which test the exact condition expected (without the unnecessarily confusing double-negation). Helped-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Denton Liu <liu.denton@xxxxxxxxx> --- This patch is a complete replacement for 4/16: "t2018: use test_expect_code for failing git commands"[1] in "dl/test-must-fail-fixes-2". It replaces the commit message with a much-improved version from Eric. Other than that, no code changes are made.
