Unexpected behaviour of guix environment --container

Unexpected behaviour of guix environment --container

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi,

I try debugging some package test-cases. The test-suite runs (but fails)
when using "guix build". Now I want to get an environment matching the
build container (including the already build package). For this I run e.g.
 
  ./pre-inst-env guix environment -C kdelibs4support@5.34.0 --ad-hoc strace

within this container I run something like

   source ./environment-variables
   PATH=$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/bin:$PATH
   ctest -R kstandarddirstest

and am getting this error:

  
/tmp/guix-build-kdelibs4support-5.34.0.drv-0/build/autotests/kstandarddirstest:
   error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Test.so.5: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

What's going on here?

I missed to say: This errors does not occur when running "guix build".
It only occurs in the container I start with the command above.

You need --no-grafts to make sure it matches the actual build
environment (that was missing in the manual, I just added it in commit
fa511e29526891743172cedbb17fa7ef75bd2d46 and then forgot to send this
reply. :-))

Could you check that it works for you?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
