From 3caf5a93d8ccbffaccfbae3fe814325682cc95f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Keeping Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:28:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] t7800: fix tests when difftool uses --no-symlinks When 'git difftool --dir-diff' is using --no-symlinks (either explicitly or implicitly because it's running on Windows), any working tree files that have been copied to the temporary directory are copied back after the difftool completes. Because an earlier test uses "git add .", the "output" file used by tests is tracked by Git and the following sequence occurs during some tests: 1) the shell opens "output" to redirect the difftool output 2) difftool copies the empty "output" to the temporary directory 3) difftool runs "ls" which writes to "output" 4) difftool copies the empty "output" file back over the output of the command 5) the output file doesn't contain the expected output, causing the test to fail Instead of adding all changes, explicitly add only the files that the test is using, allowing later tests to write their result files into the working tree.
