3 test_description='external credential helper tests
5 This is a tool for authors of external helper tools to sanity-check
6 their helpers. If you have written the "git-credential-foo" helper,
7 you check it with:
9 make GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER=foo t0303-credential-external.sh
11 This assumes that your helper is capable of both storing and
12 retrieving credentials (some helpers may be read-only, and they will
13 fail these tests).
15 Please note that the individual tests do not verify all of the
16 preconditions themselves, but rather build on each other. A failing
17 test means that tests later in the sequence can return false "OK"
18 results.
20 If your helper supports time-based expiration with a configurable
21 timeout, you can test that feature with:
23 make GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER=foo \
24 GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_TIMEOUT="foo --timeout=1" \
25 t0303-credential-external.sh
27 If your helper requires additional setup before the tests are started,
28 you can set GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_SETUP to a sequence of shell
29 commands.
