Subject: [PATCH] t9400: don't use test_must_fail with cvs
Date: Tue,  7 Jul 2020 18:08:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ca5e1f9c06ed509fc3165c550d0d665dd5b69c0.1594159495.git.liu.denton@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqq7dvf3uwc.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com>

We are using `test_must_fail cvs` to test that the cvs command fails as
expected. However, test_must_fail() is used to ensure that commands fail
in an expected way, not due to something like a segv. Since we are not
in the business of verifying the sanity of the external world, replace
`test_must_fail cvs` with `! cvs` and assume that the cvs command does
not die unexpectedly.

Hi Junio,

Thanks for pointing this out. It seems like the CI systems we use don't
cover cvs. Is this something that we want to address or is it fine to
leave it as a blindspot since no one really uses cvs anymore?
