Subject: [PATCH] t/pack-refs-tests: drop '-f' from test_path_is_missing
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 13:50:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2248.git.git.1774187447563.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
From: jayesh0104 <jayeshdaga99@gmail.com>
test_path_is_missing expects exactly one argument: the path to
check for absence. Passing '-f' is incorrect and results in
"bug in the test script: 1 param" during test execution.
The '-f' flag appears to have been carried over from the
equivalent 'test -f' usage, but test_path_is_missing does not
accept such flags.
Remove the extraneous '-f' to use the helper correctly and
restore proper test behavior.

t/pack-refs-tests: fix helper usage
High-level (Intent & Context)
=============================
The test script t/pack-refs-tests.sh has two issues that prevent it from
running correctly.
It uses: ! test -f .git/refs/heads/f
This is inconsistent with the Git test framework, where helper functions
such as test_path_is_missing should be used instead of raw test checks.
Low-level (Implementation & Justification)
==========================================
Without sourcing test-lib.sh, the test framework is not initialized,
leading to errors such as: test_expect_success: not found
Replaced raw file check with the appropriate helper:
- ! test -f .git/refs/heads/f
+ test_path_is_missing .git/refs/heads/f
Summary
=======
Replace test -f with test_path_is_missing
