Subject: [PATCH] t6002: make test "set -e" clean
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 11:05:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqqwlz1yuga.fsf_-_@gitster.g> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqcy0t178a.fsf_-_@gitster.g> (Junio C. Hamano's message of "Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:13:09 -0700")
In order to catch mistakes like misspelling "test_expect_success",
we would like to eventually be able to run our test suite with the
"-e" option on.
We often use
val=$(expr expression)
only for the computation, and it is good that "expr" exits non-zero
with syntactically invalid expression (it exits with 2) and other
errors (with 3).
"expr" however also exits with "1" if it yields 0 or null X-<.
Make sure we do not fail unnecessarily under "set -e".
