2017-05-11tests: fix tests broken under GETTEXT_POISON=YesPleaseLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+2
The GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time testing option added in my bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly translator", 2011-02-22) has been slowly bitrotting as strings have been marked for translation, and new tests have been added without running it. I brought this up on the list ("[BUG] test suite broken with GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease", [1]) asking whether this mode was useful at all anymore. At least one person occasionally uses it, and Lars Schneider offered to change one of the the Travis builds to run in this mode, so fix up the failing ones. My test setup runs most of the tests, with the notable exception of skipping all the p4 tests, so it's possible that there's still some lurking regressions I haven't fixed. 1. <CACBZZX62+acvi1dpkknadTL827mtCm_QesGSZ=6+UnyeMpg8+Q@mail.gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-01-09pathspec: give better message for submodule related pathspec errorLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+36
Every once in a while someone complains to the mailing list to have run into this weird assertion[1]. The usual response from the mailing list is link to old discussions[2], and acknowledging the problem stating it is known. This patch accomplishes two things: 1. Switch assert() to die("BUG") to give a more readable message. 2. Take one of the cases where we hit a BUG and turn it into a normal "there was something wrong with the input" message. This assertion triggered for cases where there wasn't a programming bug, but just bogus input. In particular, if the user asks for a pathspec that is inside a submodule, we shouldn't assert() or die("BUG"); we should tell the user their request is bogus. The only reason we did not check for it, is the expensive nature of such a check, so callers avoid setting the flag PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE. However when we die due to bogus input, the expense of CPU cycles spent outweighs the user wondering what went wrong, so run that check unconditionally before dying with a more generic error message. Note: There is a case (e.g. "git -C submodule add .") in which we call strip_submodule_slash_expensive, as git-add requests it via the flag PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE, but the assert used to trigger nevertheless, because the flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL was not set, such that we executed if (item->nowildcard_len < prefixlen) item->nowildcard_len = prefixlen; and prefixlen was not adapted (e.g. it was computed from "submodule/") So in the die_inside_submodule_path function we also need handle paths, that were stripped before, i.e. are the exact submodule path. This is why the conditions in die_inside_submodule_path are slightly different than in strip_submodule_slash_expensive.
