Subject: [PATCH] test-lib-functions: make 'test_cmp_rev' more informative on failure
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2018 14:28:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181119132818.3116-1-szeder.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
The 'test_cmp_rev' helper is merely a wrapper around 'test_cmp'
checking the output of two 'git rev-parse' commands, which means that
its output on failure is not particularly informative, as it's
basically two OIDs with a bit of extra clutter of the diff header, but
without any indication of which two revisions have caused the failure:
--- expect.rev 2018-11-17 14:02:11.569747033 +0000
+++ actual.rev 2018-11-17 14:02:11.569747033 +0000

It also pollutes the test repo with these two intermediate files,
though that doesn't seem to cause any complications in our current
tests (meaning that I couldn't find any tests that have to work around
the presence of these files by explicitly removing or ignoring them).
Enhance 'test_cmp_rev' to provide a more useful output on failure with
less clutter:
error: two revisions point to different objects:
'HEAD^': d79ce1670bdcb76e6d1da2ae095e890ccb326ae9
'extra': 139b20d8e6c5b496de61f033f642d0e3dbff528d
Doing so is more convenient when storing the OIDs outputted by 'git
rev-parse' in a local variable each, which, as a bonus, won't pollute
the repository with intermediate files.
While at it, also ensure that 'test_cmp_rev' is invoked with the right
number of parameters, namely two.
