2008-02-01Sane use of test_expect_failureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+6
Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests run a series of commands that leads to the single command that needs to be tested, like this: test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' ' setup1 && setup2 && setup3 && what is to be tested ' And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands. This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is tested, like this: test_expect_success 'test title' ' setup1 && setup2 && setup3 && ! this command should fail ' test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can write a test like this: test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' ' rm -f bar && git foo && test -f bar ' This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

2007-01-12use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and toolsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+1
While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+5
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

2005-07-07[PATCH] Prevent t6000 series from dropping useless sed.script in t/Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
The Makefile in the test suite directory considers any file matching t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh as the top-level test script to be executed. Unfortunately this was not documented, and the common test library, t6000-lib.sh was named to match that pattern. This caused t6000-lib.sh to be called from Makefile as the top-level program, causing it to leave t/sed.script file behind. Rename it to t6000lib.sh to prevent this, and document the naming convention a bit more clearly. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-05-16[PATCH 4/4] Trivial test harness fixes.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+3
The documentation of the test harness still refer to old numbering and also contains an obvious typo. Also "make test" should be run after making sure we have built all binaries, since test is designed to test the newly built ones.

First digit: "family", e.g. the absolute basics and global stuff (0), the basic db-side commands (read-tree, write-tree, commit-tree), the basic working-tree-side commands (checkout-cache, update-cache), the other basic commands (ls-files), the diff commands, the pull commands, exporting commands, revision tree commands...
