Subject: [PATCH 08/16] t5304: use helper to report failure of "test foo = bar"
Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2014 16:27:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141003202743.GH16293@peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20141003202045.GA15205@peff.net>
For small outputs, we sometimes use:
test "$(some_cmd)" = "something we expect"
instead of a full test_cmp. The downside of this is that
when it fails, there is no output at all from the script.
Let's introduce a small helper to make tests easier to
debug.

This is in the same boat as the last commit; we can drop it without
hurting the rest of the series.
Is test_eq too cutesy or obfuscated? I have often wanted it when
debugging other tests, too. Our usual technique is to do:
echo whatever >expect &&
do_something >actual &&
test_cmp expect actual
That's a bit verbose. We could hide it behind something like test_eq,
too, but it introduces several extra new processes. And I know people on
some fork-challenged platforms are very sensitive to the number of
spawned processes in the test suite.
