2008-02-01Sane use of test_expect_failureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
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".

2007-12-10Style fixes for pre-commit hook testsLibravatar Wincent Colaiuta1-33/+57
As pointed out by Junio on the mailing list, surrounding tests in double quotes can lead to bugs wherein variables get substituted away, so this isn't just style churn but important to prevent others from looking at these tests in the future and thinking that this is "the way" that Git tests should be written.

2007-12-09Add tests for pre-commit and commit-msg hooksLibravatar Wincent Colaiuta1-0/+64
As desired, these pass for git-commit.sh, fail for builtin-commit (prior to the fixes), and succeeded for builtin-commit (after the fixes). Signed-off-by: Wincent Colaiuta <win@wincent.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
