For example, if I run ./check-guile directly, everything's fine, but if I create a trivial makefile containing "bar: ; ./check-guile" and then run "makefile -f foo bar", the popen test fails again. Also, if disable environments.test, everything's fine, i.e.: mkdir test-suite/tests.disabled mv test-suite/tests/environments.test test-suite/tests.disabled/ make check However, if I put environments.test back and disable these tests instead: r4rs.test ramap.test receive.test threads.test r5rs_pitfall.test reader.test regexp.test then make check also runs correctly. So it's not specifically environments.test. By adding some display statements to popen.test, it looks like the fundamental cause of the failure is the fact that in those cases, (open-input-pipe "echo hello") is returning an empty port. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Also, while looking around, I noticed that many of our tests don't place themselves in a their own test module, and that raised two questions: 1) Should they (to limit the chance that one test might affect another inadvertently)? 2) Is there any reason I shouldn't consider just reworking the scheme level tests to run each foo.test in a separate Guile process? -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org; previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 = 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
