bug#33193: vim tests break terminal output

[Clément Lassieur]

Hi,

While build vim tests, the terminal gets weird and its output is broken.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<ng0> [...] some build (no idea which one, I'm in a long series of
      builds) just broke the output in a way that I'm only getting
      gibberish for the renmaining tail of buildlogs. iirc vim builds
      (specifically: the testsuite) would do something similar to your
      open terminal.
      [15:22]
*** mbuf (~Shakthi@45.251.33.79) has quit: Quit: Leaving  [15:24]
<ng0> "but what do I mean by gibberish?"
<ng0> well:

      PASSED [ 2▮%]
<ng0> etc
<roptat> oh yes, vim tests :/  [15:25]
<roptat> is that with guix build or guix package?  [15:26]
<ng0> build
<roptat> I haven't seen anything like that before and I'm not familia with UI
	 code  [15:27]
<ng0> wiht building vim you'd get no problems a while back. it would just
      continue building and only when builds finish make your terminal act
      funny
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Cheers,
Clément

ng0, could you send the version of ‘guix-daemon’ and that of ‘guix’ as
well as the exact output you’re seeing?

TIA,
Ludo’.

I experimented a bit with updating our version on vim and the gibberish
went away. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful in upgrading it.

bug#33193: vim tests break terminal output

[Royce Strange]

Hello.

Efraim Flashner said that the garbled output while building
vim disappeared when he updated it.
It has been two years and both vim and vim-full have been
updated in guix since the last comment on this issue.

Checking cuirass, there is no garbled output:
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/dnj9wljcck9vdwgp7dwxk00qnnk1g3c5-vim-full-8.2.0411
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/yajzgb2zlkklg5l9cpnsimrsjzmvq5x2-vim-8.2.0411

Building locally,
My terminal survived and didn't notice any output getting garbled.
(i am using emacs-vterm)

-----
$ guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 2971ed57345ee4e00058efeaf27c6a0790fdc9dd

$ guix build vim --no-substitutes
$ guix build vim-full --no-substitutes

Going to go ahead and close out.
