Subject: [PATCH v2] t4200: replace test -f and test -d with test_path_exists
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 09:52:48 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316042248.63278-1-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.

This conversion focuses on test assertions within test_expect_success
blocks where a missing path genuinely indicates a test failure,
rather than on control-flow checks (such as those in test_lazy_prereq
blocks) where missing paths are expected in certain environments.
