thank you so much for this !

I don't know if it' s current anymore, though

In fact, I have discovered some errors I made in the code

Now the trytond test succeeds (yay !) and I don't get ushered in a REPL anymore

There wee seveal problems

First, I hadn't pdated gnulocal.mk with my new files

gnu/services/trytond.scm
gnu/tests/trytond.scm

Also the Gexpression used in my trytond activation was garbled, so the shepherd serrvice coldn't run

As a consequence, in the test definition this piece of code

            (marionette-eval
             '(begin
                (use-modules (gnu services herd))
                (match (start-service 'trytond)
                  (#f #f)
                  (('service response-parts ...)
                   (match (assq-ref response-parts 'running)
                     ((pid) (number? pid))))))
             marionette))

didn't succeed. In the match clause, the (#f #f) case ensued (I suppose)

I discovered all this by creating a virtual machine based on my trytond branch and running it manually

After I fixed all these glitches, the system test run as a charm

So now I'm a bit overwhelmed and I don't know if your suggestion is still currrent

I can tell you, though, that I feel very reassured by the fact that someone tried to help me out !

I'll keep your suggestion in mind, should I have any further problems with the marionette service

Happy New Year !

Ciao
