2026-01-04t7800: fix racy "difftool --dir-diff syncs worktree" testPaul Tarjan
The "difftool --dir-diff syncs worktree without unstaged change" test fails intermittently on Windows CI, as seen at: https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/20624095002/job/59231745784#step:5:416 The root cause is that the original file content and the replacement content have identical sizes: - Original: "main\ntest\na\n" = 12 bytes - New: "new content\n" = 12 bytes When difftool's sync-back mechanism checks for changes, it compares stat data between the temporary index and the modified files. If the modification happens within the same timestamp granularity window and file size stays the same, the change goes undetected. On Windows, this is more likely to manifest because Git relies on inode changes as a fallback when other stat fields match, but Windows filesystems lack inodes. This is a real bug that could affect users scripting difftool similarly, as seen at: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/5132 Fix the test by changing the replacement content to "modified content" (17 bytes), ensuring the size difference is detected regardless of timestamp resolution or platform-specific stat behavior. Note: This fixes the test flakiness but not the underlying issue in difftool's change detection. Other tests with same-size file patterns (t0010-racy-git.sh, t2200-add-update.sh) are not affected because they use normal index operations with proper racy-git detection.

2025-12-18t7800: work around the MSYS path conversion on WindowsJohannes Schindelin
Git's test suite's relies on Unix shell scripting, which is understandable, of course, given Git's firm roots (and indeed, ongoing focus) on Linux. This fact, combined with Unix shell scripting's natural habitat -- which is, naturally... *drumroll*... Unix -- often has unintended side effects, where developers expect the test suite to run in a Unix environment, which is an incorrect assumption. One instance of this problem can be observed in the 'difftool --dir-diff handles modified symlinks' test case in `t7800-difftool.sh`, which assumes that all absolute paths start with a forward slash. That assumption is incorrect in general, e.g. on Windows, where absolute paths have many shapes and forms, none of which starts with a forward slash. The only saving grace is that this test case is currently not run on Windows because of the `SYMLINK` prerequisite. However, I am currently working towards upstreaming symbolic link support from Git for Windows to upstream Git, which will put a crack into that saving grace. Let's change that test case so that it does not rely on absolute paths (which are passed to the "external command" `ls` as parameters and are therefore part of its output, and which the test case wants to filter out before verifying that the output is as expected) starting with a forward slash. Let's instead rely on the much more reliable fact that `ls` will output the path in a line that ends in a colon, and simply filter out those lines by matching said colon instead.

In eb84c8b6ce (git-difftool--helper: honor `--trust-exit-code` with `--dir-diff`, 2024-02-20) we have started to loop around some of the tests in t7800 so that they are reexecuted with slightly different arguments. As part of that refactoring the quoting of test bodies was changed from single quotes (') to double quotes (") so that the value of the loop variable is accessible to the body.

2024-02-20git-difftool--helper: honor `--trust-exit-code` with `--dir-diff`Patrick Steinhardt
The `--trust-exit-code` option for git-diff-tool(1) was introduced via 2b52123fcf (difftool: add support for --trust-exit-code, 2014-10-26). When set, it makes us return the exit code of the invoked diff tool when diffing multiple files. This patch didn't change the code path where `--dir-diff` was passed because we already returned the exit code of the diff tool unconditionally in that case. This was changed a month later via c41d3fedd8 (difftool--helper: add explicit exit statement, 2014-11-20), where an explicit `exit 0` was added to the end of git-difftool--helper.sh. While the stated intent of that commit was merely a cleanup, it had the consequence that we now to ignore the exit code of the diff tool when `--dir-diff` was set. This change in behaviour is thus very likely an unintended side effect of this patch. Now there are two ways to fix this: - We can either restore the original behaviour, which unconditionally returned the exit code of the diffing tool when `--dir-diff` is passed. - Or we can make the `--dir-diff` case respect the `--trust-exit-code` flag. The fact that we have been ignoring exit codes for 7 years by now makes me rather lean towards the latter option. Furthermore, respecting the flag in one case but not the other would needlessly make the user interface more complex. Fix the bug so that we also honor `--trust-exit-code` for dir diffs and adjust the documentation accordingly.

They are equivalents and the former still exists, so as long as the only change this commit makes are to rewrite test_i18ngrep to test_grep, there won't be any new bug, even if there still are callers of test_i18ngrep remaining in the tree, or when merged to other topics that add new uses of test_i18ngrep. This patch was produced more or less with git grep -l -e 'test_i18ngrep ' 't/t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh' | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/test_i18ngrep /test_grep /' and a good way to sanity check the result yourself is to run the above in a checkout of c4603c1c (test framework: further deprecate test_i18ngrep, 2023-10-31) and compare the resulting working tree contents with the result of applying this patch to the same commit.

2023-04-05mergetool: new config guiDefault supports auto-toggling gui by DISPLAYTao Klerks
When no merge.tool or diff.tool is configured or manually selected, the selection of a default tool is sensitive to the DISPLAY variable; in a GUI session a gui-specific tool will be proposed if found, and otherwise a terminal-based one. This "GUI-optimizing" behavior is important because a GUI can make a huge difference to a user's ability to understand and correctly complete a non-trivial conflicting merge. Some time ago the merge.guitool and diff.guitool config options were introduced to enable users to configure both a GUI tool, and a non-GUI tool (with fallback if no GUI tool configured), in the same environment. Unfortunately, the --gui argument introduced to support the selection of the guitool is still explicit. When using configured tools, there is no equivalent of the no-tool-configured "propose a GUI tool if we are in a GUI environment" behavior. As proposed in <xmqqmtb8jsej.fsf@gitster.g>, introduce new configuration options, difftool.guiDefault and mergetool.guiDefault, supporting a special value "auto" which causes the corresponding tool or guitool to be selected depending on the presence of a non-empty DISPLAY value. Also support "true" to say "default to the guitool (unless --no-gui is passed on the commandline)", and "false" as the previous default behavior when these new configuration options are not specified.

* da/difftool-dir-diff-symlink-fix: difftool: fix symlink-file writing in dir-diff mode
2021-09-23difftool: fix symlink-file writing in dir-diff modeDavid Aguilar
The difftool dir-diff mode handles symlinks by replacing them with their readlink(2) values. This allows diff tools to see changes to symlinks as if they were regular text diffs with the old and new path values. This is analogous to what "git diff" displays when symlinks change. The temporary diff directories that are created initially contain symlinks because they get checked-out using a temporary index that retains the original symlinks as checked-in to the repository. A bug was introduced when difftool was rewritten in C that made difftool write the readlink(2) contents into the pointed-to file rather than the symlink itself. The write was going through the symlink and writing to its target rather than writing to the symlink path itself. Replace symlinks with raw text files by unlinking the symlink path before writing the readlink(2) content into them. When 18ec800512 (difftool: handle modified symlinks in dir-diff mode, 2017-03-15) added handling for modified symlinks this bug got recorded in the test suite. The tests included the pointed-to symlink target paths. These paths were being reported because difftool was erroneously writing to them, but they should have never been reported nor written. Correct the modified-symlinks test cases by removing the target files from the expected output. Add a test to ensure that symlinks are written with the readlink(2) values and that the target files contain their original content.

2020-11-19tests: mark tests relying on the current default for `init.defaultBranch`Johannes Schindelin
In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default. To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to force-set the default branch name to `master` in - all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`, - t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to initialize the default branch, - t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`, - t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also uses `master`) This trick was performed by this command: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \ t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly: $ git checkout HEAD -- \ t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \ t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \ t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \ t/t1402-check-ref-format.sh t/t1450-fsck.sh \ t/t2024-checkout-dwim.sh \ t/t2106-update-index-assume-unchanged.sh \ t/t3040-subprojects-basic.sh t/t3301-notes.sh \ t/t3308-notes-merge.sh t/t3423-rebase-reword.sh \ t/t3436-rebase-more-options.sh \ t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh t/t4257-am-interactive.sh \ t/t5323-pack-redundant.sh t/t5401-update-hooks.sh \ t/t5511-refspec.sh t/t5526-fetch-submodules.sh \ t/t5529-push-errors.sh t/t5530-upload-pack-error.sh \ t/t5548-push-porcelain.sh \ t/t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh \ t/t5572-pull-submodule.sh t/t5608-clone-2gb.sh \ t/t5614-clone-submodules-shallow.sh \ t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \ t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range of `git p4` tests.

2020-01-16t7800: don't rely on reuse_worktree_file()Jeff King
A test in t7800 tries to make sure that when git-difftool runs an external tool that fails, it stops looking at files. Our fake failing tool prints the file name it was asked to diff before exiting non-zero, and then we confirm the output contains only that file. However, this subtly relies on our internal reuse_worktree_file(). Because we're diffing between branches, the command run by difftool might see: - the git-stored filename (e.g., "file"), if we decided that the working tree contents were up-to-date with the object in the index and HEAD, and we could reuse them - a temporary filename (e.g. "/tmp/abc123_file") if we had to dump the contents from the object database If the latter case happens, then the test fails, because it's expecting the string "file". I discovered this when debugging something unrelated with reuse_worktree_file(). I _thought_ it should be able to be triggered by a racy-git situation, but running: ./t7800-difftool.sh --stress --run=2,13 never seems to fail. However, by my reading of reuse_worktree_file(), this would probably always fail under Cygwin, because it sets NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY. At any rate, since reuse_worktree_file() is meant to be an optimization that may or may not trigger, our test should be robust either way. Instead of checking the filename, let's just make sure we got a single line of output (which would not be true if we continued after the first failure).

But there are other callers like blame or shortlog which uses parse_options_start() in combination with a custom option parser, like rev-list. parse-options cannot see all options in this case and will get abbrev detection wrong. Disable it. t7800 needs update because --symlink no longer expands to --symlinks and will be passed down to git-diff, which will not recognize it. I still think this is the correct thing to do. But if --symlink has been actually used in the wild, we would just add an option alias for it.

2018-10-31t7800: fix quotingJohannes Schindelin
When passing a command-line to call an external diff command to the difftool, we must be prepared for paths containing special characters, e.g. backslashes in the temporary directory's path on Windows. This patch is needed in preparation for the next commit, which will make the MinGW version of Git *not* rewrite TMP to use forward slashes instead of backslashes.

2017-05-11tests: fix tests broken under GETTEXT_POISON=YesPleaseÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
The GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time testing option added in my bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly translator", 2011-02-22) has been slowly bitrotting as strings have been marked for translation, and new tests have been added without running it. I brought this up on the list ("[BUG] test suite broken with GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease", [1]) asking whether this mode was useful at all anymore. At least one person occasionally uses it, and Lars Schneider offered to change one of the the Travis builds to run in this mode, so fix up the failing ones. My test setup runs most of the tests, with the notable exception of skipping all the p4 tests, so it's possible that there's still some lurking regressions I haven't fixed. 1. <CACBZZX62+acvi1dpkknadTL827mtCm_QesGSZ=6+UnyeMpg8+Q@mail.gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-04-13difftool: fix use-after-freeJohannes Schindelin
The left and right base directories were pointed to the buf field of two strbufs, which were subject to change. A contrived test case shows the problem where a file with a long enough name to force the strbuf to grow is up-to-date (hence the code path is used where the work tree's version of the file is reused), and then a file that is not up-to-date needs to be written (hence the code path is used where checkout_entry() uses the previously recorded base_dir that is invalid by now). Let's just copy the base_dir strings for use with checkout_entry(), never touch them until the end, and release them then. This is an easily verifiable fix (as opposed to the next-obvious alternative: to re-set base_dir after every loop iteration).

Detect the null object ID for symlinks in dir-diff so that difftool can detect when symlinks are modified in the worktree. Previously, a null symlink object ID would crash difftool. Handle null object IDs as unknown content that must be read from the worktree.

2017-01-17difftool: add a skeleton for the upcoming builtinJohannes Schindelin
This adds a builtin difftool that still falls back to the legacy Perl version, which has been renamed to `legacy-difftool`. The idea is that the new, experimental, builtin difftool immediately hands off to the legacy difftool for now, unless the config variable difftool.useBuiltin is set to true. This feature flag will be used in the upcoming Git for Windows v2.11.0 release, to allow early testers to opt-in to use the builtin difftool and flesh out any bugs.

2016-12-08difftool: fix dir-diff index creation when in a subdirectoryDavid Aguilar
9ec26e7977 (difftool: fix argument handling in subdirs, 2016-07-18) corrected how path arguments are handled in a subdirectory, but it introduced a regression in how entries outside of the subdirectory are handled by dir-diff. When preparing the right-side of the diff we only include the changed paths in the temporary area. The left side of the diff is constructed from a temporary index that is built from the same set of changed files, but it was being constructed from within the subdirectory. This is a problem because the indexed paths are toplevel-relative, and thus they were not getting added to the index. Teach difftool to chdir to the toplevel of the repository before preparing its temporary indexes. This ensures that all of the toplevel-relative paths are valid. Add test cases to more thoroughly exercise this scenario. Reported-by: Frank Becker <fb@mooflu.com> Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-08-15difftool: always honor fatal error exit codesJohn Keeping
At the moment difftool's "trust exit code" logic always suppresses the exit status of the diff utility we invoke. This is useful because we don't want to exit just because diff returned "1" because the files differ, but it's confusing if the shell returns an error because the selected diff utility is not found. POSIX specifies 127 as the exit status for "command not found", 126 for "command found but is not executable" and values greater than 128 if the command terminated because it received a signal [1] and at least bash and dash follow this specification, while diff utilities generally use "1" for the exit status we want to ignore. Handle any value of 126 or greater as a special value indicating that some form of fatal error occurred.
