t5516: loosen "not our ref" error check
Commit 014ade7484 (upload-pack: send ERR packet for non-tip objects,
2019-04-13) added a test that greps the output of a failed fetch to make
sure that upload-pack sent us the ERR packet we expected. But checking
this is racy; despite the argument in that commit, the client may still
be sending a "done" line after the server exits, causing it to die() on
a failed write() and never see the ERR packet at all.
This fails quite rarely on Linux, but more often on macOS. However, it
can be triggered reliably with:
diff --git a/fetch-pack.c b/fetch-pack.c
index 876f90c759..cf40de9092 100644
--- a/fetch-pack.c
+++ b/fetch-pack.c
@@ -489,6 +489,7 @@ static int find_common(struct fetch_negotiator *negotiator,
done:
trace2_region_leave("fetch-pack", "negotiation_v0_v1", the_repository);
if (!got_ready || !no_done) {
+ sleep(1);
packet_buf_write(&req_buf, "done\n");
send_request(args, fd[1], &req_buf);
}
This is a real user-visible race that it would be nice to fix, but it's
tricky to do so: the client would have to speculatively try to read an
ERR packet after hitting a write() error. And at least for this error,
it's specific to v0 (since v2 does not enforce reachability at all).
So let's loosen the test to avoid annoying racy failures. If we
eventually do the read-after-failed-write thing, we can tighten it. And
if not, v0 will grow increasingly obsolete as servers support v2, so the
utility of this test will decrease over time anyway.
Note that we can still check stderr to make sure upload-pack bailed for
the reason we expected. It writes a similar message to stderr, and
because the server side is just another process connected by pipes,
we'll reliably see it. This would not be the case for git://, or for
ssh servers that do not relay stderr (e.g., GitHub's custom endpoint
does not).
