2012-03-30commit: rephrase the error when user did not touch templated log messageLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
When the user exited editor without editing the commit log template given by "git commit -t <template>", the commit was aborted (correct) with an error message that said "due to empty commit message" (incorrect). This was because the original template support was done by piggybacking on the check to detect an empty log message. Split the codepaths into two independent checks to clarify the error.

2012-03-30commit: do not trigger bogus "has templated message edited" checkLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
When "-t template" and "-F msg" options are both given (or worse yet, there is "commit.template" configuration but a message is given in some other way), the documentation says that template is ignored. However, the "has the user edited the message?" check still used the contents of the template file as the basis of the emptyness check. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-03-30t7501: test the right kind of breakageLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
These tests try to run "git commit" with various "forbidden" combinations of options and expect the command to fail, but they do so without having any change added to the index. We wouldn't be able to catch breakages that would allow these combinations by mistake with them because the command will fail with "nothing to commit" anyway. Make sure we have something added to the index before running the command. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-12-08t7501 (commit): modernize styleLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-133/+127
Put the opening quote starting each test on the same line as the test_expect_* invocation. While at it: - guard commands that prepare test input for individual tests in the same test_expect_success, so their scope is clearer and errors at that stage can be caught; - use the compare_diff_patch helper function when comparing patches; - use single-quotes in preference to double-quotes and <<\EOF in preference to <<EOF, to save readers the trouble of looking for variable interpolations; - lift the setting of the $author variable used throughout the test script to the top of the test script; - include "setup" in the titles of test assertions that prepare for later ones to make it more obvious which tests can be skipped; - use test_must_fail instead of "if ...; then:; else false; fi", for clarity and to catch segfaults when they happen; - break up some pipelines into separate commands that read and write to ordinary files, and test the exit status at each stage; - chain commands with &&. Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide failures from earlier commands in the chain; - combine two initial tests that do not make as much sense alone.

2011-12-08test: remove a porcelain test that hard-codes commit namesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-20/+0
The rev-list output in this test depends on the details of test_tick's dummy dates and the choice of hash function. Worse, it depends on the order and nature of commits made in the earlier tests, so adding new tests or rearranging existing ones breaks it. It would be nice to check that "git commit" and commit-tree name objects consistently and that commit objects' text is as documented, but this particular test checks everything at once and hence is not a robust test for that. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-12-20ident: die on bogus date formatLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
If the user gives "git commit --date=foobar", we silently ignore the --date flag. We should note the error. This patch puts the fix at the lowest level of fmt_ident, which means it also handles GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=foobar, as well. There are two down-sides to this approach: 1. Technically this breaks somebody doing something like "git commit --date=now", which happened to work because bogus data is the same as "now". Though we do explicitly handle the empty string, so anybody passing an empty variable through the environment will still work. If the error is too much, perhaps it can be downgraded to a warning? 2. The error checking happens _after_ the commit message is written, which can be annoying to the user. We can put explicit checks closer to the beginning of git-commit, but that feels a little hack-ish; suddenly git-commit has to care about how fmt_ident works. Maybe we could simply call fmt_ident earlier? Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-01-14commit: show interesting ident information in summaryLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+5
There are a few cases of user identity information that we consider interesting: (1) When the author and committer identities do not match. (2) When the committer identity was picked automatically from the username, hostname and GECOS information. In these cases, we already show the information in the commit message template. However, users do not always see that template because they might use "-m" or "-F". With this patch, we show these interesting cases after the commit, along with the subject and change summary. The new output looks like: $ git commit \ -m "federalist papers" \ --author='Publius <alexander@hamilton.com>' [master 3d226a7] federalist papers Author: Publius <alexander@hamilton.com> 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) for case (1), and: $ git config --global --unset user.name $ git config --global --unset user.email $ git commit -m foo [master 7c2a927] foo Committer: Jeff King <peff@c-71-185-130-222.hsd1.va.comcast.net> Your name and email address were configured automatically based on your username and hostname.

2009-11-13Do not use VISUAL editor on dumb terminalsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-4/+4
Refuse to use $VISUAL and fall back to $EDITOR if TERM is unset or set to "dumb". Traditionally, VISUAL is set to a screen editor and EDITOR to a line-based editor, which should be more useful in that situation. vim, for example, is happy to assume a terminal supports ANSI sequences even if TERM is dumb (e.g., when running from a text editor like Acme). git already refuses to fall back to vi on a dumb terminal if GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, VISUAL, and EDITOR are unset, but without this patch, that check is suppressed by VISUAL=vi.

Common use has other trailing lines at the ends of commit text, in the style of RFC2822 headers. Be more generous in considering lines to be part of this footer. If the last paragraph of the commit message reasonably resembles RFC-2822 formatted lines, don't insert that blank line.

The "--signoff" test case in t7500-commit.sh was setting VISUAL while using -F -, which indeed tested that the editor is not spawned with -F. However, having it there was confusing, since there was no obvious reason to the casual reader for it to be there.

This fixes the remainder of the issues where the test script itself is at fault for failing when the git checkout path contains whitespace or other shell metacharacters. The majority of git svn tests used the idiom test_expect_success "title" "test script using $svnrepo" These were changed to have the test script in single-quotes: test_expect_success "title" 'test script using "$svnrepo"' which unfortunately makes the patch appear larger than it really is. One consequence of this change is that in the verbose test output the value of $svnrepo (and in some cases other variables, too) is no longer expanded, i.e. previously we saw * expecting success: test script using /path/to/git/t/trash/svnrepo but now it is: * expecting success: test script using "$svnrepo" Signed-off-by: Bryan Donlan <bdonlan@fushizen.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-03-13add test_cmp function for test scriptsLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+7
Many scripts compare actual and expected output using "diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure. This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its arguments; the default is "diff -u".

2008-02-01Sane use of test_expect_failureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-20/+20
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".

Normally, it should not be allowed to generate an empty commit. A merge commit generated with git 'merge -s ours' does not change the tree (along the first parent), but merges are not "empty" even if they do not change the tree. Hence, commit 8588452ceb7 allowed to amend a merge commit that does not change the tree, but 4fb5fd5d301 disallowed it again in an attempt to avoid that an existing commit is amended such that it becomes empty.

When making a partial commit, git-commit uses git-ls-files with the --error-unmatch option to expand and sanity check the user supplied path patterns. When any path pattern does not match with the paths known to the index, it errors out, in order to catch a common mistake to say "git commit Makefiel cache.h" and end up with a commit that touches only cache.h (notice the misspelled "Makefile"). This detection however does not work well when the path has already been removed from the index. If you drop a path from the index and try to commit that partially, i.e. $ git rm COPYING $ git commit -m 'Remove COPYING' COPYING the command complains because git does not know anything about COPYING anymore. This introduces a new option --with-tree to git-ls-files and uses it in git-commit when we build a temporary index to write a tree object for the partial commit. When --with-tree=<tree-ish> option is specified, names from the given tree are added to the set of names the index knows about, so we can treat COPYING file in the example as known. Of course, there is no reason to use "git rm" and git-aware people have long time done: $ rm COPYING $ git commit -m 'Remove COPYING' COPYING which works just fine.

But this caused a constant confusion. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
