SZEDER GáborThe verbose output of every test looks something like this:
expecting success:
echo content >file &&
git add file &&
git commit -m "add file"[master (root-commit) d1fbfbd] add file Author: A U Thor <author@example.com> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 file ok 1 - commit works
i.e. first an "expecting success" (or "checking known breakage") line followed by the commands to be executed, then the output of those comamnds, and finally an "ok"/"not ok" line containing the test name. Note that the test's name is only shown at the very end.
With '-x' tracing enabled and/or in longer tests the verbose output might be several screenfulls long, making it harder than necessary to find where the output of the test with a given name starts (especially when the outputs to different file descriptors are racing, and the "expecting success"/command block arrives earlier than the "ok" line of the previous test).
Print the test name at the start of the test's verbose output, i.e. at the end of the "expecting success" and "checking known breakage" lines, to make the start of a particular test a bit easier to recognize.
So the dummy test above would start like this:
expecting success of 'commit works':
echo content >file &&

I remember being annoyed by this every once in a while for years, and https://public-inbox.org/git/20190802100956.GV20404@szeder.dev/ reminded me again to finally do something about it.
