Subject: [PATCH 09/11] t940?: make test "set -e" clean
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 23:21:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325062114.2067946-10-gitster@pobox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325062114.2067946-1-gitster@pobox.com>

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.

The cverserver tests have the usual pattern, where it

	cmd ...
	if test $? ...

expects cmd to be allowed to fail freely and we can act on its exit
status, which is not possible under "set -e".  Rewrite it using the
common pattern:

	status=0; cmd ... || status=$?
	if test $status ...

which means the same thing but does not fail under "set -e".

Note that I do not run cvs tests myself, so while this change
makes the scripts pass to the point where they correctly sets
skip_all='message' and triggers test_done, it is very likely
that there needs further work to make the rest of the scripts
"set -e" clean.
