Subject: [PATCH v5] t2000: modernize overall structure and path checks
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 04:44:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407034446.409175-1-zakariyahali100@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260405011135.125912-1-zakariyahali100@gmail.com>
This test script that dates back to 2005 certainly shows its age and
both its style and the way the tests are laid out do not match the
modern standard. Modernize it to match the current testing standards:
* Executables that prepare the data used to test the command should
be inside the test_expect_success block in modern tests.
* In modern tests, running a command that is being tested, making
sure it succeeds, and inspecting other side effects that are
expected, are all done in a single test_expect_success block.
* A test_expect_success block in modern tests are laid out as
test_expect_success 'title of the test' '
body of the test &&
...
body of the test
'
not as
test_expect_success \
'title of the test' \
'body of the test &&
...
body of the test'
which is in a prehistoric style.
* In modern tests, each &&-chained statement in the body of the
test_expect_success block are indented with a horizontal tab,
unlike prehistoric style that used 4-space indent.
* Replace bare 'test -f/-d' and 'test ! -h' assertions with dedicated
test_path_is_* helpers (specifically test_path_is_file_not_symlink and
test_path_is_dir_not_symlink). While less commonly used in the test
suite than test_path_is_file/dir, they act as direct replacements
for the specific checks being performed and provide clearer
diagnostics on failure.
