We use

  printf '\0'

to generate a NUL byte which we then `dd` into the packfile to ensure
that we modify the first byte of the first object, thereby
(probabilistically) invalidating the checksum. Except the single quotes
we're using are interpreted to match with the ones we enclose the whole
test in. So we actually execute

  printf \0

and end up injecting the ASCII code for "0", 0x30, instead.

The comment right above this `printf` invocation says that "at least one
of [the type bits] is not zero, so setting the first byte to 0 is
sufficient". Substituting "0x30" for "0" in that comment won't do: we'd
need to reason about which bits go where and just what the packfile
looks like that we're modifying in this test.

Let's avoid all of that by actually executing

  printf "\0"

to generate a NUL byte, as intended.

 If my reading is correct, when we substitute 0x30, the type will be 3
 (blob) and the size will be zero. So there might actually exist
 formally valid packfiles where this byte that we're modifying is
 already zero. What matters in the end is whether we might be using such
 a packfile in this exact test and from what I can tell, no, we won't be
 doing that.

Thanks.  Very well explained.

I wonder if it is an easy way to find similar problems without too
much hand-parsing of the test scripts.  Inside a modern test_expect_*
that begins and ends the test body with a single quote, any line
that has a single quote that is not quoted could be suspect, but
that would probably give us too many false positive.

In sh/bash, this should make no difference, and that's what I get here.
Am I missing something?

$ printf '\0' | hexdump
0000000 0000
0000001
$ printf "\0" | hexdump
0000000 0000
0000001

Oh, wait, I am indeed missing something -- the script itself is
all in single quotes, so the single quotes on the line in question
are wrong.  Never mind!

I did some very crude hand-parsing and identified a few spots that
looked needlessly complicated and where I could change or drop the
quoting so that the code we see is the code we also execute. Patch
below.

Some of those sites made me go "what is actually going on here?" which
would be an argument for simplifying them. Others are more "maybe we
should avoid those quote marks, but the test is obviously correct
anyway".

So I didn't spot any other bugs (like the 0x30/NUL thing in my original
patch), which is good, but also makes me not very motivated to invest in
more advanced parsing.

Subject: [PATCH] t: don't spuriously close & open quotes

If we write something like

test_expect_success 'sed a little' '
  sed -e 's/hi/lo/' in >out
'

the human readers do not see what the shell eventually sees:

  sed -e s/hi/lo/ in >out

In this example, this makes no real difference. But this can be confusing
and can make the reader wonder whether we actually rely on that whole
"close the quote, do some stuff, then start quoting again" and what is
actually going on. It could potentially also be a bug in the test.

Change several such single quotes to use double quotes instead or, in a
few cases, drop them altogether. These were identified using some crude
grepping. We're not fixing any test bugs here, but we're hopefully
making these tests slightly easier to grok and to maintain.

(There are legitimate use cases for closing a quote and opening a new
one, e.g., both '\'' and '"'"' can be used to produce a literal single
quote. I'm not touching any of those here.)

In t9401, tuck the redirecting ">" to the filename while we're touching
those lines.

No worries! Thanks for having a look at the patch. Is there anything
that could be done to make this clearer in the commit message? (I find it
quite awkward to discuss quoting: will the reader understand which
quoting is part of my own formatting of the message vs which is part of
the quoting issue I want to get across!?)

This is indeed a problem...

Perhaps something along these lines (generic boilerplate
for any single-quote fixes, that should be adjusted for the
actual fix):

    In the test scripts, the recommended style is, e.g.:

        test_expect_success 'name' '
            multi-line test
            goes here
        '

    When using this style, any single quote in the multi-line
    test section is actually closing the lone single quotes
    that surround it.  To avoid confusion, minimize and/or
    eliminate the use of single quotes here.

This was discovered[1] independently a couple weeks ago; glad to see
it was picked up by your grep'ing, as well.

Another thing that falls into the same class and probably be a good
addition to the above "tip" is how $variables are interpolated, i.e.

	test_expect_success 'test name' '
		test-that-references $variable &&
		another-test-that-references "$variable"
	'

are 99% of the time the right way to refer to variable that is
assigned outside the test itself (e.g. the whole four lines shown
above may be in a loop, "for variable in a b c; ... ;done").

	test_expect_success 'test name' '
		test-that-references '$variable' &&
		another-test-that-references '"$variable"'
	'

is most likely a wrong way to write for the first one (i.e. what if
the value in $variable has $IFS whitespace) and "not wrong per-se
but unnecessary" for the second one.

Same applies to $(command) substitution, but it is more important.
"Step out of the quote, evaluate and step back into the quote"
pattern would mean the command is evaluated while formulating the
body of the test, not while running the test, which often is not
what the author intended.

Thanks.

This is an updated version of the patch I posted inline in [1]. I've
tweaked the end result a bit and pulled out the modifications to t4104
to their own patch. t4104 is also where most of the interdiff is spent.

I've updated the commit message of the main patch based on the
discussion in the earlier thread.

  1 sibling, 1 reply; 16+ messages in thread
From: Martin Ågren @ 2020-08-06 20:08 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Eric Sunshine, Chris Torek

In the test scripts, the recommended style is, e.g.:

    test_expect_success 'name' '
        do-something somehow &&
        do-some-more testing
    '

When using this style, any single quote in the multi-line test section
is actually closing the lone single quotes that surround it.

It can be a non-issue in practice:

    test_expect_success 'sed a little' '
        sed -e 's/hi/lo/' in >out # "ok": no whitespace in s/hi/lo/
    '

Or it can be a bug in the test, e.g., because variable interpolation
happens before the test even begins executing:

    v=abc

    test_expect_success 'variable interpolation' '
        v=def &&
        echo '"$v"' # abc
    '

Change several such in-test single quotes to use double quotes instead
or, in a few cases, drop them altogether. These were identified using
some crude grepping. We're not fixing any test bugs here, but we're
hopefully making these tests slightly easier to grok and to maintain.

There are legitimate use cases for closing a quote and opening a new
one, e.g., both '\'' and '"'"' can be used to produce a literal single
quote. I'm not touching any of those here.

In t9401, tuck the redirecting ">" to the filename while we're touching
those lines.

Drop whitespace in the value of `$test_description` and in a test body
and use `test_write_lines`.

Stop defining `$u` with a trailing space just so that we can tuck it in
like `git foo $u$more...` and get minimal whitespace in the command:
`git foo $u $more...` is more readable at the "cost" of an empty `$u`
yielding `git foo  something...`.

Finally, avoid using single quotes within the test scripts to repeatedly
close and reopen the quotes that wrap the test scripts (see the previous
commit). This "unnecessary" quoting does mean that the verbose test
output shows the interpolated values, i.e., the shell code we're
running. But the downside is that the source of the script does *not*
show the shell code we're eventually executing, leaving the reader to
reason about what we really do and whether there are any quoting issues.
(There aren't.)

Where we run through loops to generate several "identical but different"
tests, the test message contains the interpolated variables we're
looping on, meaning one can always identify exactly which instance has
failed, even if the verbose test output shows the exact same test body
several times.

This one is a bit weird. It really seems as if the intent was to quote
the word "fifth" in the merge message, so dropping the quotes
altogether seems wrong. However, the file 'msg' is never even
consulted in this test (or any other test), so is this just "dead
code" (including the leading 'fifth=' assignment which also is
otherwise unused outside the 'echo')?

There are a fair number of these quoted single-token arguments
containing no special characters which don't actually need to be
quoted at all, so an alternative would be simply to drop the quotes
altogether, making the commands less syntactically noisy. However,
that might be outside the intended scope of this change.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for having a look.

Huh, good catch. The tests showed up in v2 of the patch [1] and there's
not enough context in the archives to tell whether something was partly
removed from an earlier "v1.5" or partly added but not all the way.

We expect to fail the merge -- and we do, and not because of this msg
thing -- and then we look around a little, but we don't resolve the
merge and make a commit. And from what I can tell, there wouldn't be
much point in making a commit. So I should be able to safely drop this
"dead code" entirely.

FWIW, I find something like `git foo -m "message"` a lot more
intuitive/reasonable than, e.g., `git foo "HEAD"` to signal that here's
a message that could in principle have whitespace, even if this one
doesn't. For all of these, I tried to follow the surrounding style. For
example in t9401, where we do `echo "hi"`. We certainly don't need the
quotes there, but t9401 is very consistent on this and I didn't want to
muddy that unnecessarily.

If we say that "don't use quotes if you don't need to" is a reasonable
thing to strive for, I can drop these in a reroll. I think I'll be
injecting a patch anyway for the "msg" you pointed out in t4200, so I
can certainly tweak this patch to be a bit more aggressive in dropping
unnecessary quotes.

Thanks
Martin

That could be done atop this series if there is no other reason to
re-roll.

No need. Matching the local convention makes sense, and I don't insist
upon such a change at all. Mine was a non-actionable observation, and
it's entirely subjective anyhow.

I don't feel strongly about whether the series should be re-rolled.
It's true that dropping that dead code (mentioned above) would make more
sense coming before the patch which fixes up the quoting, but it
wouldn't bother me if the dead-code removal was done as a follow-on
patch.

Yeah, I agree that a preparatory clean-up followed by the main
change would logically make more sense, but if it is swapped it is
not the end of the world ;-)

Thanks, both.
