# HG changeset patch # User Mads Kiilerich # Date 2023-06-26 12:54:00 # Node ID 65f949da8469926d8dd8053bcfa629d098cb4797 # Parent 7e5be4a7cda7ea90c05f78a09877bc333f1a1d25 tests: use grep -F instead of obsolescent fgrep Testing on Fedora 38 failed with: fgrep: warning: fgrep is obsolescent; using grep -F The warning comes from https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=a9515624709865d480e3142fd959bccd1c9372d1 . For further anecdotal evidence of the change, see https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Grep-3.8-Stop-egrep-fgrep . grep -F is POSIX, but there is a risk that it doesn't work the same on all platforms - especially older Unix versions. It should however always be possible to put a GNU grep in $PATH before running the tests. diff --git a/contrib/check-code.py b/contrib/check-code.py --- a/contrib/check-code.py +++ b/contrib/check-code.py @@ -147,6 +147,7 @@ testpats = [ '[ foo == bar ] is a bashism, use [ foo = bar ] instead', ), (r'(^|\|\s*)egrep', "use grep -E for extended grep syntax"), + (r'(^|\|\s*)fgrep', "use grep -F for fixed string grepping"), (r'(^|\|\s*)e?grep .*\\S', "don't use \\S in regular expression"), (r'(?> test - $ hg pull -u 2>&1 | fgrep -v TESTTMP| fgrep -v "searching for changes" | fgrep -v adding + $ hg pull -u 2>&1 | grep -F -v TESTTMP| grep -F -v "searching for changes" | grep -F -v adding pulling from $TESTTMP/a updating bookmark X added 1 changesets with 0 changes to 0 files (+1 heads)
