[PATCH] t7004: check a missing key without deleting gpghome

Harald Nordgren via GitGitGadget· Oct 8, 2026, 09:07 UTC · lore

From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>

The "verify signed tag fails when public key is not present" test deletes gpghome to lose the key, and this sometimes fails on Alpine with

    rm: can't remove 'gpghome/S.gpg-agent.extra': No such file or directory

Point GNUPGHOME at an unused directory for the verification, which is how t7510 checks a signature whose key is unknown.

Interesting. It is curious why removal "sometimes" fails but it is coming from clean-up the gpg-agent tries to do, probably.

In any case, it is a very good idea to borrow solution from an existing test. Nicely done.

Will queue.  Thanks.
