In the if-elses chain we have in "check_test_results_san_file_", we consider three variables: $passes_sanitize_leak, $sanitize_leak_check and lastly, implicitly, GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG (always set to "true" at that point). For the first two variables we have different considerations depending on the value of $test_failure, which make sense. However, for the third, GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG, we don't; regardless of $test_failure, we use "invert_exit_code=t" to produce a non-zero return value. That assumes "$test_failure = 0" is always true at that point. But it is not: $ git checkout v2.40.1 $ make SANITIZE=leak $ make -C t GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true t3200-branch.sh ... With GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true, our logs revealed a memory leak, exiting with a non-zero status! # Simulated failures as TODO & now exiting with 0 due to --invert-exit-code We need to use "invert_exit_code=t" only when "$test_failure = 0". Probably we have missed this because GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG is commonly used in combination with GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check, the second variable noted above, for which we have, as already said, different considerations depending on the value of $test_failure. However GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG has value used on its own, as it was documented in faececa53f (test-lib: have the "check" mode for SANITIZE=leak consider leak logs, 2022-07-28). Let's add the missing conditions in the if-elses chain to make it work as expected. Note that we're not resetting the value of "invert_exit_code" when $test_failure is non-zero. Doing that is only needed when GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check, the second variable noted above.

But I'll stop here. --- t/test-lib.sh | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/test-lib.sh b/t/test-lib.sh index 5ea5d1d62a..945ede50ac 100644 --- a/t/test-lib.sh +++ b/t/test-lib.sh @@ -1264,9 +1264,12 @@ check_test_results_san_file_ () { then say "As TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true isn't set the above leak is 'ok' with GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check" && invert_exit_code=t - else + elif test "$test_failure" = 0 + then say "With GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true our logs revealed a memory leak, exit non-zero!" && invert_exit_code=t + else + say "With GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true our logs revealed a memory leak..." fi } -- 2.34.1
