Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] ci: link failure and leak annotations to the test script
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2026 18:44:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2419.v4.git.git.1790880255.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2419.git.git.1790362443893.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

Link failure and leak annotations in CI to the test script, so both can be
found from the job summary.

V4 CI Job where failures and leaks are reported:
https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/36760014277/job/110039964565?pr=2426

Changes in v4:

 * Clarify commit messages and simplify escaping logic.

Changes in v3:

 * Fixed bug in the --immediate exit ordering: the --immediate &&
   --invert-exit-code path called exit 0 before the test's annotation was
   written, now a single unconditional call covers both exit paths.
 * github_escape_message_ no longer relies on \r being a portable sed escape
   sequence (not POSIX-guaranteed and BSD sed implementations can differ),
   it splices in the literal carriage-return byte via printf instead.
 * Reverted unrelated test-tool line back to its original form.

Changes in v2:

 * Split into two commits, each explaining its own reasoning.
 * Leak output is no longer capped or embedded in the message, it's now an
   uncapped fold, so multiple leaks in the same test both show in full. A
   second leak in a different test still won't show in the same run,
   --immediate stops the script at the first failure, but it no longer gets
   buried under every later test falsely reporting "not ok" either.
 * Drops the giant unfolded message that annotations used to carry, which is
   what probably caused the scrolling behavior.
