Subject: [BUG] clone: regression in error messages in master
Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 18:46:55 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALkWK0n7S8s-ABQ1qV5JSsyhYo6=rmK1UT+uYW9hjjeWjambug@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
So this should explain the problem:
# using v1.8.3.1
$ git clone https://google.com
Cloning into 'google.com'...
fatal: repository 'https://google.com/' not found
# using master
$ git clone https://google.com
Cloning into 'google.com'...
fatal: repository 'https://google.com/' not found
fatal: Reading from helper 'git-remote-https' failed
To figure out where the regression was coming from, I ran a bisect
with this script:
#!/bin/sh
make clean &&
make -j 8 &&
cd t &&
sh -v -i clone-message.sh
where clone-message.sh is:
test_description=clone-message
. ./test-lib.sh
test_expect_success setup '
rm -fr .git &&
test_create_repo src &&
(
cd src &&
>file &&
git add file &&
git commit -m initial &&
echo 1 >file &&
git add file &&
git commit -m updated
)
'
test_expect_success 'clone invalid URL' '
rm -fr dst &&
test_must_fail git clone https://google.com 2>msg &&
test_i18ngrep "repository .* not found" msg &&
! test_i18ngrep "git-remote-https" msg
'
test_done
The bisect pointed me to: 81d340d4 (transport-helper: report errors
properly, 2013-04-10).
$ git clone https://google.com
Cloning into 'google.com'...
fatal: https://google.com/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not
found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
fatal: Reading from remote helper failed
What?! Okay, the last "Reading from remote helper failed" was
introduced by this commit; my clone-message.sh has a bug. So I
commented out the first test_i18ngrep and ran it. Result: c096955
(transport-helper: mention helper name when it dies, 2013-04-10).
This is not the real culprit: it just changed the message string that
81d340d4 originally introduced.
Okay, so am I reporting a valid bug? Going through remote-curl, I can
see that it dies in remote-curl.c:213 if HTTP_TARGET_MISSING. If that
is the case, what is the point of printing the second message about
the remote helper program not being present?
Thanks.
