RE: EXTERNAL: Re: List of Known Issues for a particular release

Elijah,

Thanks for the response. I am not clear whether the test_expect_failure means that the test is trying to do something that should fail and so it is a valid test case or if it is a test case that is failing, but should succeed and has only been temporarily disabled until it is fixed. I'm guessing the former. In this case, if it successfully did whatever it were testing, that would be an issue. A simple example of this would be a test to try to login with an invalid username and password. That is expected to fail and if it passed, it would be an issue. If this is the case, then it doesn't look like it provides a list of issues. Please clarify what the test_expect_failure indicates.

Probably not in the format you want, and likely including noise that isn't relevant, but in a clone of git.git you could run:

git grep ^test_expect_failure t/
