t/lib-rebase.sh: support explicit 'pick' commands in 'fake_editor.sh'
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The verbose output of the test 'reword without issues functions as
intended' in 't3423-rebase-reword.sh', added in a9279c6 (sequencer:
do not squash 'reword' commits when we hit conflicts, 2018-06-19),
contains the following error output:

  sed: -e expression #1, char 2: extra characters after command

This error comes from within the 'fake-editor.sh' script created by
'lib-rebase.sh's set_fake_editor() function, and the root cause is the
FAKE_LINES="pick 1 reword 2" variable in the test in question, in
particular the "pick" word.  'fake-editor.sh' assumes 'pick' to be the
default rebase command and doesn't support an explicit 'pick' command
in FAKE_LINES.  As a result, 'pick' will be used instead of a line
number when assembling the following 'sed' script:

  sed -n picks/^pick/pick/p

which triggers the aforementioned error.

Luckily, this didn't affect the test's correctness: the erroring 'sed'
command doesn't write anything to the todo script, and processing the
rest of FAKE_LINES generates the desired todo script, as if that
'pick' command were not there at all.

The minimal fix would be to remove the 'pick' word from FAKE_LINES,
but that would leave us susceptible to similar issues in the future.

Instead, teach the fake-editor script to recognize an explicit 'pick'
command, which is still a fairly trivial change.

In the future we might want to consider reinforcing this fake editor
script with an &&-chain and stricter parsing of the FAKE_LINES
variable (e.g. to error out when encountering unknown rebase commands
or commands and line numbers in the wrong order).
