Subject: handling package tests requiring root?
Date: Wed, 01 Jan 2025 05:13:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878qru6dvb.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
The only approach I'm aware of is to just ignore such tests. Examples of
this I've seen:
mdadm:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/linux.scm#n5943
borg:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/backup.scm#n739
rdiff-backup:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/backup.scm#n540
maradns:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/dns.scm#n1197
hostscope:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/monitoring.scm#n698
python-path:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/python-xyz.scm#n17458
python-executing:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/python-xyz.scm#n11112
I haven't been able to find a single instance of tests requiring root
that we /don't/ skip. (But then, I don't really know how to look,
either...)
Surely there must be a way to do this?
