Subject: [PATCH v2 5/8] diff-highlight: use test_decode_color in tests
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 02:02:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323060210.GE10482@coredump.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323060139.GA10215@coredump.intra.peff.net>

The diff-highlight tests use raw color bytes when comparing expected and
actual output. Let's use test_decode_color, which is our usual technique
in other tests. It makes reading test output diffs a bit easier, since
you're not relying on your terminal to interpret the result (or worse,
interpreting characters yourself via "cat -A").

This will also make it easier to add tests with new colors/attributes,
without having to pre-define the byte sequences ourselves.
