Submodule init uses STDERR output

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

 



Hello,
I've come across an issue that seems like a bug to me. If I clone a
repository with a submodule but want to initialize it separately, then
the error output is used during this initialization for what seems to
be a standard message.
Motivation:
Cannot use - Fail on standard error setting in a devops pipeline

Steps to reproduce:
1. git clone
2. git submodule init 2>err.txt

The err.txt contains a message like
Submodule 'xyz' (xyz.git) registered for path 'abc'
>From what I've read this is the standard output in this case. And if
not then why when I use "quiet" mode then the error output is empty.
So why is the error output even used?

Platforms reproduced on:
git version 2.26.2.windows.1 - Windows server
git version 2.19.0.windows.1 - gitbash - Windows 10
git version 2.17.1 Ubuntu (Windows subsystem)

Thanks,
Michal Vrana
