Subject: [PATCH] t7450: make test "set -e" clean
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 11:32:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqqbjgdyt6l.fsf_-_@gitster.g> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqqcy0t178a.fsf_-_@gitster.g> (Junio C. Hamano's message of "Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:13:09 -0700")

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".
