Subject: [PATCH] t5562: do not depend on /dev/zero
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2019 18:42:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190215164237.12250-1-max@max630.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190209185930.5256-4-randall.s.becker@rogers.com>

It was reported [1] that NonStop platform does not have /dev/zero.

The test uses /dev/zero as a dummy input. Passing case (http-backed
failed because of too big input size) should not be reading anything
from it. If http-backend would erroneously try to read any data
returning EOF probably would be even safer than providing some
meaningless data.

Replace /dev/zero with /dev/null to avoid issues with platforms which do
not have /dev/zero.

By the way, I don't think this requires such sofisticated
fix. In the success case the input would not be read at all.
You could replace it with /dev/null, the in failure (not 
immediate fail) git would fail due to truncated input or
something.

Also, as you experience hang issue [2] in earlier tests, this 
one should not have contributed to it.
