[BUG] test suite broken with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX

[BUG] test suite broken with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX

[Thomas Gummerer]

Hi,

I just tried to run the test suite with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=YesPlease
and noticed that a few tests are broken both in pu and master.

Below the test failures on master:

Test Summary Report

Bisecting between master and v2.10.0 leads me to the merge commit
94c9b5af70 ("Merge branch 'cc/split-index-config'", 2017-03-17).

Unfortunately I don't forsee myself having time to track the bug down
soon.  Sorry for not noticing this earlier in the cycle.

The bisect log is below if someone finds it helpful:

Yeah, I tried with and without that patch with the same result.
Unless I'm screwing something up when testing I don't think this fixes
the issue unfortunately.

Ok, I will take a look soon.

By the way I think that GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX has become redundant now
that there is core.splitIndex.
So perhaps in the long run it will be best to deprecate
GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX and eventually remove it.

I think you can't, at least the way I understand this variable. It's a
_test_ variable to force exercise split index code path a whole lot
more, by running the entire test suite with split index always
enabled, instead of just a couple in  t????-split-index.sh. We can't
achieve the same with core.splitIndex because that's more about user
control and you can't just set core.splitIndex for the entire test
suite (can we?).

I would understand if the failed tests are about core.splitIndex (they
both try to control how split index is created), but failed tests look
totally unrelated. We may have discovered some bug (or that git_path
one Jeff mentioned).

Yeah, you are right.
It looks like we have GIT_TEST_OPTS to pass options like --debug,
--valgrind, --verbose, but we don't have an environment variable to
set config options.

Or maybe GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS works for this purpose?

It has to be set inside test-lib.sh, not from outside because
environment variables from outside are filtered if I remember
correctly and only a few specials plus those GIT_TEST_ can survive.
Some tests override GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS themselves to pass config
vars to certain command (I know because I just did a couple days ago
;).which loses core.splitIndex.

It does seem reasonable to have a GIT_TEST_REPO_CONFIG that sets some
variables by default in the trash repository created by
test_create_repo.

That doesn't quite catch everything, because a few tests make their own
sub-repos. But those cases are usually testing something very specific
anyway.

I just tried on "pu" and only the first test
(t7009-filter-branch-null-sha1.sh) fails there.

I bisected this test's failure (when using
GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=YesPlease) to e6a1dd77e1 (read-cache: regenerate
shared index if necessary, 2017-02-27).

The failing test is the following:

test_expect_success 'filter commands are still checked' '
        test_must_fail git filter-branch \
                --force --prune-empty \
                --index-filter "git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch three.t"
'

And if I add the following at the beginning of the test:

        git config splitIndex.maxPercentChange 100 &&

the test then passes.

So It looks like in split index mode the test doesn't expect the
shared index to be regenerated.
Maybe Peff, as he is the author of this test, or Duy have an idea about this?

Right. The test has a broken tree with a null sha1, and filter-branch
will do:

  GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1=1 git read-tree $broken

to allow it to enter the index. We expect that further commands that
write out the index will not allow it (so you can run commands that
remove the broken entry, but not ones that leave it).

So without split index, this command:

  git rm --cached three.t

will fail. But in split-index mode, the broken entry is in another
index, and is left untouched. I'm not sure there's a way to reconcile
the split-index behavior with what the test is expecting; it's
inherently optimizing out the thing that the test wants to check.

Probably we should catch the broken index entry when we write out the
tree, too. We usually do catch missing objects, but this one is a
gitlink, so it's OK for it to be missing. I think we should catch the
null sha1 specifically, though, as that was the intent of the commit
that added t7009.

So the patch below _almost_ works. It fixes the failing test. But note
the new test I added, with a noop index-filter. That checks that we
don't retain the cache-tree extension from the bogus tree when reading.
But for some reason it fails on split-index mode. Does cache-tree stuff
somehow work differently there?

I can't seem to reproduce this now either with the latest pu or next.
I must have messed something up while testing.

Sorry for the noise.

Ah, this reminds me.  The patch has been in the stalled state for
quite some time due to confusing description.  How about explaining
it like so and merge it to 'next'?

Subject: [PATCH] read-cache: avoid using git_path() in freshen_shared_index()

When performing an interactive rebase in split-index mode,
the commit message that one should rework when squashing commits
can contain some garbage instead of the usual concatenation of
both of the commit messages.

The code uses git_path() to compute the shared index filename, and
passes it to check_and_freshen_file() as its argument; there is no
guarantee that the rotating pathname buffer passed as argument will
stay valid during the life of this call.  Make our own copy before
calling the function and pass the copy as its argument to avoid this
risky pattern.

Hmm. It looks like the fix from:

  http://public-inbox.org/git/20170329080820.8084-1-chriscool@tuxfamily.org/

hasn't been merged yet. That would possibly explain the problems on
master, but I think it _is_ in pu. So maybe this is something else.
