Subject: [PATCH] [Outreachy PATCH] t2403: modernize test for directory existence
Message-ID: <pull.2259.git.1792125111461.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/pull.2259.git.1792125111461.gitgitgadget%40gmail.com

```
From: Shashank <shashu8660@gmail.com>

Replace the old-style shell `test -d` commands with Git's modern
`test_path_is_dir` helper function.

This provides better debugging output if the tests were to fail,
as the helper prints a clear error message rather than just failing
silently like `test -d` does.
