From 82ebb0b6ec7470cab96a013d3d719c109003ef83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:36:36 -0400 Subject: add test_cmp function for test scripts Many scripts compare actual and expected output using "diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure. This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its arguments; the default is "diff -u". On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do: GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- t/t3060-ls-files-with-tree.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 't/t3060-ls-files-with-tree.sh') diff --git a/t/t3060-ls-files-with-tree.sh b/t/t3060-ls-files-with-tree.sh index 68eb266d7..3ce501bb9 100755 --- a/t/t3060-ls-files-with-tree.sh +++ b/t/t3060-ls-files-with-tree.sh @@ -66,6 +66,6 @@ test_expect_success 'git -ls-files --with-tree should succeed from subdir' ' cd .. test_expect_success \ 'git -ls-files --with-tree should add entries from named tree.' \ - 'diff -u expected output' + 'test_cmp expected output' test_done -- cgit v1.2.1
