Subject: [PATCH] t0004: replace test -e with test_path_exists
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2026 23:06:35 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309173635.29683-1-prashantjee2025@gmail.com> (raw)

Replace old-style path existence checks with the modern test_path_exists
helper function that provides clearer diagnostic messages on failure.
When test -e fails, the output gives no indication of what went wrong.

These instances were found using:

  git grep "test -[efd]" t/ | grep -v "if test"

as suggested in the microproject ideas.
