Subject: [PATCH 05/11] t7450: make test "set -e" clean
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 23:21:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325062114.2067946-6-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.

Often we write "A && test_expect_success ..." and want it to mean
"If and only if A holds true, this needs to be tested", but under
"set -e", this will cause failure when A does not hold true.  We
need to write "!A || test_expect_success ..." if we want to run the
test conditionally.

Or write it properly with if/then/fi, perhaps like:

	if ! A
	then
		test_expect_success ...
	fi

Make sure we do not fail unnecessarily under "set -e".
