2026-02-19t: use test_seq -f and pipes in a few more placesAaron Plattner
Several tests use a pattern that writes to a temporary file like this: printf "do something with %d\n" $(test_seq <count>) >tmpfile && git do-something --stdin <tmpfile Other tests use test_seq's -f parameter, but still write to a temporary file: test_seq -f "do something with %d" <count> >input && git do-something --stdin <input Simplify both of these patterns to test_seq -f "do something with %d" <count> | git do-something --stdin Signed-off-by: Aaron Plattner <aplattner@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-09-10t0613: stop setting default initial branchPhillip Wood
As the tests are all run in separate repositories, set the branch name to "master" when creating the repository for the tests where the result depends on the branch name. In order to make it easier to change the branch name in the future a helper function is used. This reduces the number of tests that depend on the default branch name being "master" and removes the last instance of a test file using "GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master".

2025-06-24test-lib: teach test_seq the -f optionJeff King
The "seq" tool has a "-f" option to produce printf-style formatted lines. Let's teach our test_seq helper the same trick. This lets us get rid of some shell loops in test snippets (which are particularly verbose in our test suite because we have to "|| return 1" to keep the &&-chain going). This converts a few call-sites I found by grepping around the test suite. A few notes on these: - In "seq", the format specifier is a "%g" float. Since test_seq only supports integers, I've kept the more natural "%d" (which is what these call sites were using already). - Like "seq", test_seq automatically adds a newline to the specified format. This is what all callers are doing already except for t0021, but there we do not care about the exact format. We are just trying to printf a large number of bytes to a file. It's not worth complicating other callers or adding an option to avoid the newline in that caller. - Most conversions are just replacing a shell loop (which does get rid of an extra fork, since $() requires a subshell). In t0612 we can replace an awk invocation, which I think makes the end result more readable, as there's less quoting. - In t7422 we can replace one loop, but sadly we have to leave the loop directly above it. This is because that earlier loop wants to include the seq value twice in the output, which test_seq does not support (nor does regular seq). If you run: test_seq -f "foo-%d %d" 10 the second "%d" will always be the empty string. You might naively think that test_seq could add some extra arguments, like: # 3 ought to be enough for anyone... printf "$fmt\n" "$i "$i" $i" but that just triggers printf to format multiple lines, one per extra set of arguments. So we'd have to actually parse the format string, figure out how many "%" placeholders are there, and then feed it that many instances of the sequence number. The complexity isn't worth it.

2025-04-07reftable/table: move printing logic into test helperPatrick Steinhardt
The logic to print individual blocks in a table is hosted in the reftable library. This is only the case due to historical reasons though because users of the library had no interfaces to read blocks one by one. Otherwise, printing individual blocks has no place in the reftable library given that the format will not be generic in the first place. We have now grown a public interface to iterate through blocks contained in a table, and thus we can finally move the logic to print them into the test helper. Move over the logic and refactor it accordingly. Note that the iterator also trivially allows us to access index sections, which we previously didn't print at all. This omission wasn't intentional though, so start dumping those sections as well so that we can assert that indices are written as expected.

2025-04-07t: refactor tests depending on Perl to print dataPatrick Steinhardt
A bunch of tests rely on Perl to print data in various different ways. These usages fall into the following categories: - Print data conditionally by matching patterns. These usecases can be converted to use awk(1) rather easily. - Print data repeatedly. These usecases can typically be converted to use a combination of `test-tool genzeros` and sed(1). - Print data in reverse. These usecases can be converted to use awk(1) or `sort -r`. Refactor the tests accordingly so that we can drop a couple of PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisites. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-04-07t: introduce PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisitePatrick Steinhardt
In the early days of Git, Perl was used quite prominently throughout the project. This has changed significantly as almost all of the executables we ship nowadays have eventually been rewritten in C. Only a handful of subsystems remain that require Perl: - gitweb, a read-only web interface. - A couple of scripts that allow importing repositories from GNU Arch, CVS and Subversion. - git-send-email(1), which can be used to send mails. - git-request-pull(1), which is used to request somebody to pull from a URL by sending an email. - git-filter-branch(1), which uses Perl with the `--state-branch` option. This command is typically recommended against nowadays in favor of git-filter-repo(1). - Our Perl bindings for Git. - The netrc Git credential helper. None of these subsystems can really be considered to be part of the "core" of Git, and an installation without them is fully functional. It is more likely than not that an end user wouldn't even notice that any features are missing if those tools weren't installed. But while Perl nowadays very much is an optional dependency of Git, there is a significant limitation when Perl isn't available: developers cannot run our test suite. Preceding commits have started to lift this restriction by removing the strict dependency on Perl in many central parts of the test library. But there are still many tests that rely on small Perl helpers to do various different things. Introduce a new PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite that guards all tests that require Perl. This prerequisite is explicitly different than the preexisting PERL prerequisite: - PERL records whether or not features depending on the Perl interpreter are built. - PERL_TEST_HELPERS records whether or not a Perl interpreter is available for our tests. By having these two separate prerequisites we can thus distinguish between tests that inherently depend on Perl because the underlying feature does, and those tests that depend on Perl because the test itself is using Perl. Adapt all tests to set the PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite as needed. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2024-05-13refs/reftable: allow disabling writing the object indexPatrick Steinhardt
Besides the expected "ref" and "log" records, the reftable library also writes "obj" records. These are basically a reverse mapping of object IDs to their respective ref records so that it becomes efficient to figure out which references point to a specific object. The motivation for this data structure is the "uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant" config, which allows a client to fetch any object by its hash that has a ref pointing to it. This reverse index is not used by Git at all though, and the expectation is that most hosters nowadays use "uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant". It may thus be preferable for many users to disable writing these optional object indices altogether to safe some precious disk space. Add a new config "reftable.indexObjects" that allows the user to disable the object index altogether. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2024-05-13reftable/dump: support dumping a table's block structurePatrick Steinhardt
We're about to introduce new configs that will allow users to have more control over how exactly reftables are written. To verify that these configs are effective we will need to take a peak into the actual blocks written by the reftable backend. Introduce a new mode to the dumping logic that prints out the block structure. This logic can be invoked via `test-tool dump-reftables -b`.
