2024-11-21t: remove TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK annotationsPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+0
Now that the default value for TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK is `true` there is no longer a need to have that variable declared in all of our tests. Drop it. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-07-13var(win32): do report the GIT_SHELL_PATH that is actually usedJohannes Schindelin1-1/+1
On Windows, Unix-like paths like `/bin/sh` make very little sense. In the best case, they simply don't work, in the worst case they are misinterpreted as absolute paths that are relative to the drive associated with the current directory. To that end, Git does not actually use the path `/bin/sh` that is recorded e.g. when `run_command()` is called with a Unix shell command-line. Instead, as of 776297548e (Do not use SHELL_PATH from build system in prepare_shell_cmd on Windows, 2012-04-17), it re-interprets `/bin/sh` as "look up `sh` on the `PATH` and use the result instead". This is the logic users expect to be followed when running `git var GIT_SHELL_PATH`. However, when 1e65721227 (var: add support for listing the shell, 2023-06-27) introduced support for `git var GIT_SHELL_PATH`, Windows was not special-cased as above, which is why it outputs `/bin/sh` even though that disagrees with what Git actually uses. Let's fix this by using the exact same logic as `prepare_shell_cmd()`, adjusting the Windows-specific `git var GIT_SHELL_PATH` test case to verify that it actually finds a working executable.

2023-09-05var: avoid a segmentation fault when `HOME` is unsetJohannes Schindelin1-0/+9
The code introduced in 576a37fccbf (var: add attributes files locations, 2023-06-27) paid careful attention to use `xstrdup()` for pointers known never to be `NULL`, and `xstrdup_or_null()` otherwise. One spot was missed, though: `git_attr_global_file()` can return `NULL`, when the `HOME` variable is not set (and neither `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`), a scenario not too uncommon in certain server scenarios. Fix this, and add a test case to avoid future regressions.

2023-06-27var: add config file locationsbrian m. carlson1-0/+65
Much like with attributes files, sometimes programs would like to know the location of configuration files at the global or system levels. However, it isn't always clear where these may live, especially for the system file, which may have been hard-coded at compile time or computed dynamically based on the runtime prefix. Since other parties cannot intuitively know how Git was compiled and where it looks for these files, help them by providing variables that can be queried. Because we have multiple paths for global config values, print them in order from highest to lowest priority, and be sure to split on newlines so that "git var -l" produces two entries for the global value. However, be careful not to split all values on newlines, since our editor values could well contain such characters, and we don't want to split them in such a case. Note in the documentation that some values may contain multiple paths and that callers should be prepared for that fact. This helps people write code that will continue to work in the event we allow multiple items elsewhere in the future.

2023-06-27var: add attributes files locationsbrian m. carlson1-0/+20
Currently, there are some programs which would like to read and parse the gitattributes files at the global or system levels. However, it's not always obvious where these files live, especially for the system file, which may have been hard-coded at compile time or computed dynamically based on the runtime prefix. It's not reasonable to expect all callers of Git to intuitively know where the Git distributor or user has configured these locations to be, so add some entries to allow us to determine their location. Honor the GIT_ATTR_NOSYSTEM environment variable if one is specified. Expose the accessor functions in a way that we can reuse them from within the var code. In order to make our paths consistent on Windows and also use the same form as paths use in "git rev-parse", let's normalize the path before we return it. This results in Windows-style paths that use slashes, which is convenient for making our tests function in a consistent way across platforms. Note that this requires that some of our values be freed, so let's add a flag about whether the value needs to be freed and use it accordingly.

2023-06-27var: add support for listing the shellbrian m. carlson1-0/+15
On most Unix systems, finding a suitable shell is easy: one simply uses "sh" with an appropriate PATH value. However, in many Windows environments, the shell is shipped alongside Git, and it may or may not be in PATH, even if Git is. In such an environment, it can be very helpful to query Git for the shell it's using, since other tools may want to use the same shell as well. To help them out, let's add a variable, GIT_SHELL_PATH, that points to the location of the shell. On Unix, we know our shell must be executable to be functional, so assume that the distributor has correctly configured their environment, and use that as a basic test. On Git for Windows, we know that our shell will be one of a few fixed values, all of which end in "sh" (such as "bash"). This seems like it might be a nice test on Unix as well, since it is customary for all shells to end in "sh", but there probably exist such systems that don't have such a configuration, so be careful here not to break them.

2022-12-18var: add GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR variableSean Allred1-0/+38
The editor program used by Git when editing the sequencer "todo" file is determined by examining a few environment variables and also affected by configuration variables. Introduce "git var GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR" to give users access to the final result of the logic without having to know the exact details. This is very similar in spirit to 44fcb497 (Teach git var about GIT_EDITOR, 2009-11-11) that introduced "git var GIT_EDITOR".

2022-11-27var: allow GIT_EDITOR to return nullSean Allred1-0/+62
The handling to die early when there is no EDITOR is valuable when used in normal code (i.e., editor.c). In git-var, where null/empty-string is a perfectly valid value to return, it doesn't make as much sense. Remove this handling from `git var GIT_EDITOR` so that it does not fail so noisily when there is no defined editor.

"git var GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH" is a way to see what name is used for the newly created branch if "git init" is run. * tw/var-default-branch: var: add GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH variable
2021-11-03var: add GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH variableThomas Weißschuh1-0/+20
Introduce the logical variable GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH which represents the the default branch name that will be used by "git init". Currently this variable is equivalent to git config init.defaultbranch || 'master' This however will break if at one point the default branch is changed as indicated by `default_branch_name_advice` in `refs.c`. By providing this command ahead of time users of git can make their code forward-compatible.

Mark various existing tests in t00*.sh that invoke git built-ins with TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true as passing when git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. They'll now be listed as running under the "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" test mode (the "linux-leaks" CI target).

2019-06-21tests: mark two failing tests under FAIL_PREREQSÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
Fix a couple of tests that would potentially fail under GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS=true. I missed these when annotating other tests in dfe1a17df9 ("tests: add a special setup where prerequisites fail", 2019-05-13) because on my system I can only reproduce this failure when I run the tests as "root", since the tests happen to depend on whether we can fall back on GECOS info or not. I.e. they'd usually fail to look up the ident info anyway, but not always. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
