[content-service] Fix git init default branch in tests#21222
Merged
Conversation
The tests were failing in CI because they depend on git's default branch configuration. The git client sets HOME=/home/gitpod where no .gitconfig exists, causing git to fall back to 'master' as the default branch. This fix explicitly sets --initial-branch=main for all git init calls in tests, making them deterministic regardless of the environment's git configuration. Co-authored-by: Ona <no-reply@ona.com>
The getCommand function now prepends a HISTFILE command for non-headless tasks to enable bash history. Updated test expectations to match the new output format. Co-authored-by: Ona <no-reply@ona.com>

Description
Fixes environment-dependent test failures in
components/content-service/pkg/git/git_test.go.The tests were failing in CI because they depend on git's default branch configuration. The git client code sets
HOME=/home/gitpod(where no.gitconfigexists), causing git to fall back to "master" as the default branch in git 2.x.This fix explicitly sets
--initial-branch=mainfor allgit initcalls in tests, making them deterministic regardless of the environment's git configuration.Changes:
--initial-branch=mainflag to allgit initcalls in test functionsinit.defaultBranch: "main"to the test client config (for documentation, though not used bygit init)Related Issue(s)
Fixes the build failure seen in https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/actions/runs/20766025045/job/59632207356
How to test
Run the content-service tests:
All tests should pass regardless of the system's git configuration.
