[PATCH v5 2/8] t1308-config-set: avoid false positives when using test-config

<f53782f14c5f53da5d5537b369a810a94f9ce184.1599026986.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>
In-Reply-To

One test in t1308 expects test-config to fail with exit code 128 due to a parsing error in the config machinery. But test-config might also exit with 128 for any other reason that leads it to call die(). Therefore the test can potentially succeed for the wrong reason. To avoid false positives, let's check test-config's output, in addition to the exit code, and make sure that the cause of the error is the one we expect in this test.

Moreover, the test was using the auxiliary function check_config which optionally takes a string to compare the test-config stdout against. Because this string is optional, there is a risk that future callers may also check only the exit code and not the output. To avoid that, make the string parameter of this function mandatory.
