From 8e7a67efef0ef7edec9692ce698784794f405157 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2016 16:36:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] t7300: `git clean -dfx` must show an error with long paths In particular on Windows, where the default maximum path length is quite small, but there are ways to circumvent that limit in many cases, it is very important that users be given an indication why their command failed because of too long paths when it did. This test case makes sure that a warning is issued that would have helped the user who reported Git for Windows' issue 521: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/521 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin --- t/t7300-clean.sh | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/t/t7300-clean.sh b/t/t7300-clean.sh index b89fd2a6ad..62cb12affd 100755 --- a/t/t7300-clean.sh +++ b/t/t7300-clean.sh @@ -653,4 +653,15 @@ test_expect_success 'git clean -d respects pathspecs (pathspec is prefix of dir) test_path_is_dir foobar ' +test_expect_success MINGW 'handle clean & core.longpaths = false nicely' ' + git config core.longpaths false && + test_when_finished git config --unset core.longpaths && + a50=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa && + mkdir -p $a50$a50/$a50$a50/$a50$a50 && + touch $a50$a50/test.txt && + touch $a50$a50/$a50$a50/$a50$a50/test.txt && + test_must_fail git clean -xdf 2>.git/err && + grep "too long" .git/err +' + test_done
