From 9d48d39a4b16c4faa58488107cd0a53c8144a7ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon McVittie Date: Sun, 18 Apr 2021 12:16:45 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] libtest: On failure, make it clearer what has happened If we fail as a result of `set -x`, It's often not completely obvious which command failed or how. Use a trap on ERR to show the command that failed, and its exit status.
