[GSoC][Newbie] Test Script Enhancements

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

 



Hi Everyone,
My name is Rhythm Narula and I am currently working as a Software
Engineer. I had the privilege of participating in GSoC 2023 with
Pitivi, GNOME, where I completed a project on generating closing
credit clips. LinkedIn -

As someone who uses Git daily for version control and collaboration, I
have developed a strong interest in understanding its internals and
contributing to its improvement, allowing me to impact millions of
developers worldwide.

I understand that GSoC 2025 mini project ideas have not yet been
released, however, I have been exploring 2024 mini project ideas and
noticed a few areas where improvements might still be possible. I have
outlined these below and world appreciate your feedback on whether
these are accurate and worth pursuing:

1. Avoid suppressing git’s exit code in test scripts
a.  diff --git a/t/t5801-remote-helpers.sh b/t/t5801-remote-helpers.sh
index d21877150e..3433fcfc44 100755
--- a/t/t5801-remote-helpers.sh
+++ b/t/t5801-remote-helpers.sh
@@ -271,7 +271,7 @@ test_expect_success 'push update refs failure' '

 clean_mark () {
        cut -f 2 -d ' ' "$1" |
-       git cat-file --batch-check |
+       git cat-file --batch-check >actual &&
        grep commit |
        sort >$(basename "$1")
 }

2. Modernize a test script
Is there anyone working on t/t5801-remote-helpers.sh? Can I take this up?

Regards,
Rhythm
