Add a missing test for ""add <repository> <path>" where "<path>" is an absolute path. This tests code added in [1] and later turned into an "else" branch in clone_submodule() in [2] that's never been tested. This needs to be skipped on WINDOWS because all of $PWD, $(pwd) and the "$(pwd -P)" we get via "$submodurl" would fail in CI with e.g.: fatal: could not create directory 'D:/a/git/git/t/trash directory.t7400-submodule-basic/.git/modules/D:/a/git/git/t/trash directory.t7400-submodule-basic/add-abs' I.e. we can't handle these sorts of paths in this context on that platform. I'm not sure where we run into the edges of "$PWD" behavior on Windows (see [1] for a previous loose end on the topic), but for the purposes of this test it's sufficient that we test this on other platforms. 1. ee8838d1577 (submodule: rewrite `module_clone` shell function in C, 2015-09-08) 2. f8eaa0ba98b (submodule--helper, module_clone: always operate on absolute paths, 2016-03-31) 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/220630.86edz6c75c.gmgdl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> --- t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh b/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh index b858871a953..6a77d817a82 100755 --- a/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh +++ b/t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh @@ -178,6 +178,11 @@ test_expect_success 'submodule add' ' test_must_be_empty untracked ' +test_expect_success !WINDOWS 'submodule add (absolute path)' ' + test_when_finished "git reset --hard" && + git submodule add "$submodurl" "$submodurl/add-abs" +' + test_expect_success 'setup parent and one repository' ' test_create_repo parent && test_commit -C parent one -- 2.37.3.1420.g76f8a3d556c
