Subject: [PATCH v2 05/12] t: prepare conditional test execution for `set -e`
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:06:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415-b4-pks-tests-with-set-e-v2-5-4e4904a96f15@pks.im> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260415-b4-pks-tests-with-set-e-v2-0-4e4904a96f15@pks.im>

We have some test in our test suite where we use the pattern of
`test ... && test_expect_succeess` to conditionally execute a test. The
problem is that when we decide to not execute the test, we'll indeed
skip the test, but the overall statement will also be unsuccessful. This
will become a problem once we enable `set -e`.

Prepare for this future by turning this into a proper conditional, which
is also a bit easier to read overall.
