[PATCH] t6429: fix use of non-existent function

From
Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Jul 1, 2022, 05:19 UTC
Message-ID
<pull.1276.git.1656652799863.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Elijah Newren <newren@palantir.com>
This test had a line reading
    ! test_file_is_empty actual
which was meant to be
    ! test_must_be_empty actual

The test worked despite the error, because even though test_file_is_empty is a non-existent function, the '!' negated the return value and made it pass. It'd be better to avoid the negation, so something like

    test_file_not_empty actual

would be better, but perhaps it makes even more sense to specify the number of lines of expected output to make the test a bit tighter.
