Test fixes. * sg/test-must-be-empty: tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of 'test_cmp <empty> <out>' tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of 'test_cmp /dev/null <out>' tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of 'test ! -s' tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of '! test -s'
2018-08-21tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of 'test_cmp <empty> <out>'Libravatar SZEDER Gábor1-4/+1
Using 'test_must_be_empty' is shorter and more idiomatic than >empty && test_cmp empty out as it saves the creation of an empty file. Furthermore, sometimes the expected empty file doesn't have such a descriptive name like 'empty', and its creation is far away from the place where it's finally used for comparison (e.g. in 't7600-merge.sh', where two expected empty files are created in the 'setup' test, but are used only about 500 lines later). These cases were found by instrumenting 'test_cmp' to error out the test script when it's used to compare empty files, and then converted manually. Note that even after this patch there still remain a lot of cases where we use 'test_cmp' to check empty files: - Sometimes the expected output is not hard-coded in the test, but 'test_cmp' is used to ensure that two similar git commands produce the same output, and that output happens to be empty, e.g. the test 'submodule update --merge - ignores --merge for new submodules' in 't7406-submodule-update.sh'. - Repetitive common tasks, including preparing the expected results and running 'test_cmp', are often extracted into a helper function, and some of this helper's callsites expect no output. - For the same reason as above, the whole 'test_expect_success' block is within a helper function, e.g. in 't3070-wildmatch.sh'. - Or 'test_cmp' is invoked in a loop, e.g. the test 'cvs update (-p)' in 't9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh'.

Recent update to "git config" broke updating variable in a subsection, which has been corrected. * sb/config-write-fix: git-config: document accidental multi-line setting in deprecated syntax config: fix case sensitive subsection names on writing t1300: document current behavior of setting options
2018-08-08config: fix case sensitive subsection names on writingLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+1
A user reported a submodule issue regarding a section mix-up, but it could be boiled down to the following test case: $ git init test && cd test $ git config foo."Bar".key test $ git config foo."bar".key test $ tail -n 3 .git/config [foo "Bar"] key = test key = test Sub sections are case sensitive and we have a test for correctly reading them. However we do not have a test for writing out config correctly with case sensitive subsection names, which is why this went unnoticed in 6ae996f2acf (git_config_set: make use of the config parser's event stream, 2018-04-09) Unfortunately we have to make a distinction between old style configuration that looks like [foo.Bar] key = test and the new quoted style as seen above. The old style is documented as case-agnostic, hence we need to keep 'strncasecmp'; although the resulting setting for the old style config differs from the configuration. That will be fixed in a follow up patch. Reported-by: JP Sugarbroad <jpsugar@google.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-01t1300: document current behavior of setting optionsLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+86

2018-07-03t: use sane_unset() rather than 'unset' with broken &&-chainLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-1/+1
These tests intentionally break the &&-chain after using 'unset' since they don't know if 'unset' will succeed or fail and don't want a local 'unset' failure to fail the test overall. We can do better by using sane_unset(), which can be linked into the &&-chain as usual. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-08Merge branch 'tb/config-default'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+30
"git config --get" learned the "--default" option, to help the calling script. Building on top of the tb/config-type topic, the "git config" learns "--type=color" type. Taken together, you can do things like "git config --get foo.color --default blue" and get the ANSI color sequence for the color given to foo.color variable, or "blue" if the variable does not exist. * tb/config-default: builtin/config: introduce `color` type specifier config.c: introduce 'git_config_color' to parse ANSI colors builtin/config: introduce `--default`
2018-05-08Merge branch 'tb/config-type'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+64
The "git config" command uses separate options e.g. "--int", "--bool", etc. to specify what type the caller wants the value to be interpreted as. A new "--type=<typename>" option has been introduced, which would make it cleaner to define new types. * tb/config-type: builtin/config.c: support `--type=<type>` as preferred alias for `--<type>` builtin/config.c: treat type specifiers singularly
2018-05-08Merge branch 'js/empty-config-section-fix'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1710
"git config --unset a.b", when "a.b" is the last variable in an otherwise empty section "a", left an empty section "a" behind, and worse yet, a subsequent "git config a.c value" did not reuse that empty shell and instead created a new one. These have been (partially) corrected. * js/empty-config-section-fix: git_config_set: reuse empty sections git config --unset: remove empty sections (in the common case) git_config_set: make use of the config parser's event stream git_config_set: do not use a state machine config_set_store: rename some fields for consistency config: avoid using the global variable `store` config: introduce an optional event stream while parsing t1300: `--unset-all` can leave an empty section behind (bug) t1300: add a few more hairy examples of sections becoming empty t1300: remove unreasonable expectation from TODO t1300: avoid relying on a bug config --replace-all: avoid extra line breaks t1300: demonstrate that --replace-all can "invent" newlines t1300: rename it to reflect that `repo-config` was deprecated git_config_set: fix off-by-two
2018-04-09git_config_set: reuse empty sectionsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
It can happen quite easily that the last setting in a config section is removed, and to avoid confusion when there are comments in the config about that section, we keep a lone section header, i.e. an empty section. Now that we use the `event_fn` callback, it is easy to add support for re-using empty sections, so let's do that. Note: t5512-ls-remote requires that this change is applied *after* the patch "git config --unset: remove empty sections (in the common case)": without that patch, there would be empty `transfer` and `uploadpack` sections ready for reuse, but in the *wrong* order (and sconsequently, t5512's "overrides work between mixed transfer/upload-pack hideRefs" would fail).

2018-04-09git config --unset: remove empty sections (in the common case)Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
The original reasoning for not removing section headers upon removal of the last entry went like this: the user could have added comments about the section, or about the entries therein, and if there were other comments there, we would not know whether we should remove them. In particular, a concocted example was presented that looked like this (and was added to t1300): # some generic comment on the configuration file itself # a comment specific to this "section" section. [section] # some intervening lines # that should also be dropped key = value # please be careful when you update the above variable The ideal thing for `git config --unset section.key` in this case would be to leave only the first line behind, because all the other comments are now obsolete. However, this is unfeasible, short of adding a complete Natural Language Processing module to Git, which seems not only a lot of work, but a totally unreasonable feature (for little benefit to most users). Now, the real kicker about this problem is: most users do not edit their config files at all! In their use case, the config looks like this instead: [section] key = value ... and it is totally obvious what should happen if the entry is removed: the entire section should vanish. Let's generalize this observation to this conservative strategy: if we are removing the last entry from a section, and there are no comments inside that section nor surrounding it, then remove the entire section. Otherwise behave as before: leave the now-empty section (including those comments, even ones about the now-deleted entry). We have to be extra careful to handle the case where more than one entry is removed: any subset of them might be the last entries of their respective sections (and if there are no comments in or around that section, the section should be removed, too).

2018-04-09t1300: `--unset-all` can leave an empty section behind (bug)Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+11
We already have a test demonstrating that removing the last entry from a config section fails to remove the section header of the now-empty section. The same can happen, of course, if we remove the last entries in one fell swoop. This is *also* a bug, and should be fixed at the same time.

2018-04-09t1300: add a few more hairy examples of sections becoming emptyLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+44
During the review of the first iteration of the patch series to remove sections that become empty upon --unset or --unset-all, Jeff King identified a couple of problematic cases with the backtracking approach that was still used then to "look backwards for the section header": https://public-inbox.org/git/20180329213229.GG2939@sigill.intra.peff.net/ This patch adds a couple of concocted examples designed to fool a backtracking parser.

2018-04-06t1300: remove unreasonable expectation from TODOLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+20
In https://public-inbox.org/git/7vvc8alzat.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org/ a reasonable patch was made quite a bit less so by changing a test case demonstrating a bug to a test case that demonstrates that we ask for too much: the test case 'unsetting the last key in a section removes header' now expects a future bug fix to be able to determine whether a free-form comment above a section header refers to said section or not. Rather than shooting for the stars (and not even getting off the ground), let's start shooting for something obtainable and be reasonably confident that we *can* get it.

2018-04-06t1300: avoid relying on a bugLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+2
The test case 'unset with cont. lines' relied on a bug that is about to be fixed: it tests *explicitly* that removing the last entry from a config section leaves an *empty* section behind. Let's fix this test case not to rely on that behavior, simply by preventing the section from becoming empty.
