From 0aabeaa562fa269834f10cbda6e966b553dcec71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toon Claes Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2024 15:15:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] builtin/show-ref: treat directory as non-existing in --exists 9080a7f178 (builtin/show-ref: add new mode to check for reference existence, 2023-10-31) added the option --exists to git-show-ref(1). When you use this option against a ref that doesn't exist, but it is a parent directory of an existing ref, you get the following error: $ git show-ref --exists refs/heads error: failed to look up reference: Is a directory when the ref-files backend is in use. To be more clear to user, hide the error about having found a directory. What matters to the user is that the named ref does not exist. Instead, print the same error as when the ref was not found: error: reference does not exist Signed-off-by: Toon Claes Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- builtin/show-ref.c | 2 +- t/t1403-show-ref.sh | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/show-ref.c b/builtin/show-ref.c index 7aac525a87..6025ce223d 100644 --- a/builtin/show-ref.c +++ b/builtin/show-ref.c @@ -239,7 +239,7 @@ static int cmd_show_ref__exists(const char **refs) if (refs_read_raw_ref(get_main_ref_store(the_repository), ref, &unused_oid, &unused_referent, &unused_type, &failure_errno)) { - if (failure_errno == ENOENT) { + if (failure_errno == ENOENT || failure_errno == EISDIR) { error(_("reference does not exist")); ret = 2; } else { diff --git a/t/t1403-show-ref.sh b/t/t1403-show-ref.sh index b50ae6fcf1..a8055f7fe1 100755 --- a/t/t1403-show-ref.sh +++ b/t/t1403-show-ref.sh @@ -260,9 +260,9 @@ test_expect_success '--exists with non-commit object' ' test_expect_success '--exists with directory fails with generic error' ' cat >expect <<-EOF && - error: failed to look up reference: Is a directory + error: reference does not exist EOF - test_expect_code 1 git show-ref --exists refs/heads 2>err && + test_expect_code 2 git show-ref --exists refs/heads 2>err && test_cmp expect err '
