2021-09-27t5600: provide detached HEAD for corruption failuresLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
When checking how git-clone behaves when it fails, we stimulate some failures by trying to do a clone from a local repository whose objects have been removed. Because these clones use local optimizations, there's a subtle dependency in how the corruption is handled on the sending side. If upload-pack does not show us the broken refs (which it does not currently), then we see only HEAD (which is itself broken), and clone that as a detached HEAD. When we try to write the ref, we notice that we never got the object and bail. But if upload-pack _does_ show us the broken refs (which it may in a future patch), then we'll realize that HEAD is a symref and just write that. You'd think we'd fail when writing out the refs themselves, but we don't; we do a bulk write and skip the connectivity check because of our --local optimizations. For the non-bare case, we do notice the problem when we try to checkout. But for a bare repository, we unexpectedly complete the clone successfully! At first glance this may seem like a bug. But the whole point of those local optimizations is to give up some safety for speed. If you want to be careful, you should be using "--no-local", which would notice that the pack did not transfer sufficient objects. We could do that in these tests, but part of the point is for them to fail at specific moments (and indeed, we have a later test that checks for transport failure). However, we can make this less subtle and future-proof it against changes on the upload-pack side by just having an explicit detached HEAD in the corrupted repo. Now we'll fail as expected during the ref write if any ref _or_ HEAD is corrupt, whether we're --bare or not.

2021-05-19clone: clean up directory after transport_fetch_refs() failureLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
git-clone started respecting errors from the transport subsystem in aab179d937 (builtin/clone.c: don't ignore transport_fetch_refs() errors, 2020-12-03). However, that commit didn't handle the cleanup of the filesystem quite right. The cleanup of the directory that cmd_clone() creates is done by an atexit() handler, which we control with a flag. It starts as JUNK_LEAVE_NONE ("clean up everything"), then progresses to JUNK_LEAVE_REPO when we know we have a valid repo but not working tree, and then finally JUNK_LEAVE_ALL when we have a successful checkout. Most errors cause us to die(), which then triggers the handler to do the right thing based on how far into cmd_clone() we got. But the checks added by aab179d937 instead set the "err" variable and then jump to a new "cleanup" label, which then returns our non-zero status. However, the code after the cleanup label includes setting the flag to JUNK_LEAVE_ALL, and so we accidentally leave the repository and working tree in place. One obvious option to fix this is to reorder the end of the function to set the flag first, before cleanup code, and put the label between them. But we can observe another small bug: the error return from transport_fetch_refs() is generally "-1", and we propagate that to the return value of cmd_clone(), which ultimately becomes the exit code of the process. And we try to avoid transmitting negative values via exit codes (only the low 8 bits are passed along as an unsigned value, though in practice for "-1" this at least retains the property that it's non-zero). Instead, let's just die(). That makes us consistent with rest of the code in the function. It does add a new "fatal:" line to the output, but I'd argue that's a good thing: - in the rare case that the transport code didn't say anything, now the user gets _some_ error message - even if the transport code said something like "error: ssh died of signal 9", it's nice to also say "fatal" to indicate that we considered that to be a show-stopper. Triggering this in the test suite turns out to be surprisingly difficult. Almost every error we'd encounter, including ones deep inside the transport code, cause us to just die() right there! However, one way is to put a fake wrapper around git-upload-pack that sends the complete packfile but exits with a failure code.

2018-01-03clone: do not clean up directories we didn't createLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+51
Once upon a time, git-clone would refuse to write into a directory that it did not itself create. The cleanup routines for a failed clone could therefore just remove the git and worktree dirs completely. In 55892d2398 (Allow cloning to an existing empty directory, 2009-01-11), we learned to write into an existing directory. Which means that doing: mkdir foo git clone will-fail foo ends up deleting foo. This isn't a huge catastrophe, since by definition foo must be empty. But it's somewhat confusing; we should leave the filesystem as we found it. Because we know that the only directory we'll write into is an empty one, we can handle this case by just passing the KEEP_TOPLEVEL flag to our recursive delete (if we could write into populated directories, we'd have to keep track of what we wrote and what we did not, which would be much harder). Note that we need to handle the work-tree and git-dir separately, though, as only one might exist (and the new tests in t5600 cover all cases).

2018-01-03t5600: modernize styleLibravatar Jeff King1-23/+25
This is an old script which could use some updating before we add to it: - use the standard line-breaking: test_expect_success 'title' ' body ' - run all code inside test_expect blocks to catch unexpected failures in setup steps - use "test_commit -C" instead of manually entering sub-repo - use test_when_finished for cleanup steps - test_path_is_* as appropriate Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-01-03t5600: fix outdated comment about unborn HEADLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Back when this test was written, git-clone could not handle a repository without any commits. These days it works fine, and this comment is out of date. At first glance it seems like we could just drop this code entirely now, but it's necessary for the final test, which was added later. That test corrupts the repository by temporarily removing its objects, which means we need to have some objects to move.

2013-01-05clone: support atomic operation with --separate-git-dirLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-1/+11
Since b57fb80a7d (init, clone: support --separate-git-dir for .git file) git clone supports the --separate-git-dir option to create the git dir outside the work tree. But when that option is used, the git dir won't be deleted in case the clone fails like it would be without this option. This makes clone lose its atomicity as in case of a failure a partly set up git dir is left behind. A real world example where this leads to problems is when "git submodule update" fails to clone a submodule and later calls to "git submodule update" stumble over the partially set up git dir and try to revive the submodule from there, which then fails with a not very user friendly error message. Fix that by updating the junk_git_dir variable (used to remember if and what git dir should be removed in case of failure) to the new value given with the --seperate-git-dir option. Also add a test for this to t5600 (and while at it fix the former last test to not cd into a directory to test for its existence but use "test -d" instead).

2008-07-13t/: Use "test_must_fail git" instead of "! git"Libravatar Stephan Beyer1-2/+2
This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git". This is useful to - make sure the test does not fail because of a signal, e.g. SIGSEGV, and - advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

2008-02-01Sane use of test_expect_failureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+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".

2006-10-14clone: the given repository dir should be relative to $PWDLibravatar Yasushi SHOJI1-0/+6
the repository argument for git-clone should be relative to $PWD instead of the given target directory. The old behavior gave us surprising success and you need a few minute to know why it worked. GIT_DIR is already exported so no need to cd into $D. And this makes $PWD for git-fetch-pack, which is the actual command to take the given repository dir, the same as git-clone.
