From 71406ed4d6d21fbe0ee0e068159739a7476f3039 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 01:02:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] t5400: avoid concurrent writes into a trace file One test in t5400 examines the packet exchange between git-push and git-receive-pack. The latter inherits the GIT_TRACE_PACKET environment variable, so that both processes dump trace data into the same file concurrently. This should not be a problem because the trace file is opened with O_APPEND. On Windows, however, O_APPEND is not atomic as it should be: it is emulated as lseek(SEEK_END) followed by write(). For this reason, the test is unreliable: it can happen that one process overwrites a line that was just written by the other process. As a consequence, the test sometimes does not find one or another line that is expected (and it is also successful occasionally). The test case is actually only interested in the output of git-push. To ensure that only git-push writes to the trace file, override the receive-pack command such that it does not even open the trace file.
