Subject: [GSoC][PATCH] t2000: modernize path checks to use helper functions
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 12:21:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326112149.53050-1-zakariyahali100@gmail.com> (raw)
Replace bare 'test -f/-d' and 'test ! -h ... && test -f/-d'
assertions with their dedicated test_path_is_* helpers.
These helpers are better than the previous 'test' commands
because they produce clearer diagnostic output on failure.
For example, instead of a bare exit code, the helper outputs
'File path0 doesn't exist', which makes test failures
significantly easier to debug.
The replacements are:
- 'test -f' -> 'test_path_is_file'
- 'test -d' -> 'test_path_is_dir'
- 'test ! -h && test -f' -> 'test_path_is_file_not_symlink'
- 'test ! -h && test -d' -> 'test_path_is_dir_not_symlink'
