2019-10-07tests: remove "cat foo" before "test_i18ngrep bar foo"Libravatar René Scharfe4-32/+0
Some tests print a file before searching for a pattern using test_i18ngrep. This is useful when debugging tests with --verbose when the pattern is not found as expected. Since 63b1a175ee (t: make 'test_i18ngrep' more informative on failure, 2018-02-08) test_i18ngrep already shows the contents of a file that doesn't match the expected pattern, though. So don't bother doing the same unconditionally up-front. The contents are not interesting if the expected pattern is found, and showing it twice if it doesn't match is of no use.

2019-10-02t0061: fix test for argv[0] with spaces (MINGW only)Libravatar Alexandr Miloslavskiy1-4/+17
The test was originally designed for the case where user reported that setting GIT_SSH to a .bat file with spaces in path fails on Windows: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/692 The test has two different problems: 1. It succeeds with AND without fix eb7c7863 that addressed user's problem. This happens because the core problem was misunderstood, leading to conclusion that git is unable to start any programs with spaces in path on Win7. But in fact a) Bug only affected cmd.exe scripts, such as .bat scripts b) Bug only happened when cmd.exe received at least two quoted args c) Bug happened on any Windows (verified on Win10). Therefore, correct test must involve .bat script and two quoted args. 2. In Visual Studio build, it fails to run, because 'test-fake-ssh.exe' is copied away from its dependencies 'libiconv.dll' and 'zlib1.dll'. Fix both problems by using .bat script instead of 'test-fake-ssh.exe'. NOTE: With this change, the test now correctly fails without eb7c7863.

2019-10-02promisor-remote: skip move_to_tail when no-opLibravatar Emily Shaffer1-0/+13
Previously, when promisor_remote_move_to_tail() is called for a promisor_remote which is currently the final element in promisors, a cycle is created in the promisors linked list. This cycle leads to a double free later on in promisor_remote_clear() when the final element of the promisors list is removed: promisors is set to promisors->next (a no-op, as promisors->next == promisors); the previous value of promisors is free()'d; then the new value of promisors (which is equal to the previous value of promisors) is also free()'d. This double-free error was unrecoverable for the user without removing the filter or re-cloning the repo and hoping to miss this edge case. Now, when promisor_remote_move_to_tail() would be a no-op, just do a no-op. In cases of promisor_remote_move_to_tail() where r is not already at the tail of the list, it works as before.

2019-09-28name-rev: avoid cutoff timestamp underflowLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+15
When 'git name-rev' is invoked with commit-ish parameters, it tries to save some work, and doesn't visit commits older than the committer date of the oldest given commit minus a one day worth of slop. Since our 'timestamp_t' is an unsigned type, this leads to a timestamp underflow when the committer date of the oldest given commit is within a day of the UNIX epoch. As a result the cutoff timestamp ends up far-far in the future, and 'git name-rev' doesn't visit any commits, and names each given commit as 'undefined'. Check whether subtracting the slop from the oldest committer date would lead to an underflow, and use no cutoff in that case. We don't have a TIME_MIN constant, dddbad728c (timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps, 2017-04-26) didn't add one, so do it now. Note that the type of the cutoff timestamp variable used to be signed before 5589e87fd8 (name-rev: change a "long" variable to timestamp_t, 2017-05-20). The behavior was still the same even back then, but the underflow didn't happen when substracting the slop from the oldest committer date, but when comparing the signed cutoff timestamp with unsigned committer dates in name_rev(). IOW, this underflow bug is as old as 'git name-rev' itself.

2019-09-20t/helper: ignore only executable filesLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-5/+4
This patch conceptually reverts 44103f4197 (t/helper: ignore everything but sources, 2017-12-12). Back in those days we did have a lot of separate test helper executables under 't/helper', and its '.gitignore' did get out of sync every once in a while. Since then, however, most of those separate executables were integrated into a single 'test-tool' command [1], and new test helpers are added as new subcommands, so the chances of that '.gitignore' getting out of sync again are much lower. And even if a contributor were not careful enough and submits a patch that adds a new executable under 't/helper' but forgets to update '.gitignore' accordingly, our CI builds would catch it in a timely manner [2]. Ignoring everything but sources has the drawback that building an older version of Git (e.g. during bisecting) creates all those executables, and after going back to e.g. current 'master' the usual cleanup commands like 'make clean' or 'git clean -fd' don't remove them (the former doesn't know about them, and the latter doesn't remove ignored files). So let's ignore only the executable files under 't/helper/, i.e. 'test-tool' and the three other remaining executables that could not be integrated into 'test-tool' (no need to ignore object files, as they are already ignored by our toplevel '.gitignore'). [1] The topic starting with efd71f8913 (t/helper: add an empty test-tool program, 2018-03-24), and leading up to the merge commit 27f25845cf (Merge branch 'nd/combined-test-helper', 2018-04-11).

2019-09-20merge-recursive: symlink's descendants not in wayLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+28
When the working tree has: - bar (directory) - bar/file (file) - foo (symlink to .) (note that lstat() for "foo/bar" would tell us that it is a directory) and the user merges a commit that deletes the foo symlink and instead contains: - bar (directory, as above) - bar/file (file, as above) - foo (directory) - foo/bar (file) the merge should happen without requiring user intervention. However, this does not happen. This is because dir_in_way(), when checking the working tree, thinks that "foo/bar" is a directory. But a symlink should be treated much the same as a file: since dir_in_way() is only checking to see if there is a directory in the way, we don't want symlinks in leading paths to sometimes cause dir_in_way() to return true. Teach dir_in_way() to also check for symlinks in leading paths before reporting whether a directory is in the way.

2019-09-20stash: make sure to write refreshed cacheLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-0/+16
When converting stash into C, calls to 'git update-index --refresh' were replaced with the 'refresh_cache()' function. That is fine as long as the index is only needed in-core, and not re-read from disk. However in many cases we do actually need the refreshed index to be written to disk, for example 'merge_recursive_generic()' discards the in-core index before re-reading it from disk, and in the case of 'apply --quiet', the 'refresh_cache()' we currently have is pointless without writing the index to disk. Always write the index after refreshing it to ensure there are no regressions in this compared to the scripted stash. In the future we can consider avoiding the write where possible after making sure none of the subsequent calls actually need the refreshed cache, and it is not expected to be refreshed after stash exits or it is written somewhere else already.

2019-09-17Test the progress displayLibravatar SZEDER Gábor4-0/+369
'progress.c' has seen a few fixes recently [1], and, unfortunately, some of those fixes required further fixes [2]. It seems it's time to have a few tests focusing on the subtleties of the progress display. Add the 'test-tool progress' subcommand to help testing the progress display, reading instructions from standard input and turning them into calls to the display_progress() and display_throughput() functions with the given parameters. The progress display is, however, critically dependent on timing, because it's only updated once every second or, if the toal is known in advance, every 1%, and there is the throughput rate as well. These make the progress display far too undeterministic for testing as-is. To address this, add a few testing-specific variables and functions to 'progress.c', allowing the the new test helper to: - Disable the triggered-every-second SIGALRM and set the 'progress_update' flag explicitly based in the input instructions. This way the progress line will be updated deterministically when the test wants it to be updated. - Specify the time elapsed since start_progress() to make the throughput rate calculations deterministic. Add the new test script 't0500-progress-display.sh' to check a few simple cases with and without throughput, and that a shorter progress line properly covers up the previously displayed line in different situations. [1] See commits 545dc345eb (progress: break too long progress bar lines, 2019-04-12) and 9f1fd84e15 (progress: clear previous progress update dynamically, 2019-04-12).
