The failing test is test/helper-expand.c and it tries to do this:

int main ( int argc, char ** argv )
{
    cmd_set_arguments ( argc, argv );

    if ( setlocale ( LC_ALL, "" ) == NULL ) {
        fprintf ( stderr, "Failed to set locale.\n" );
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    /**
     * Test some path functions. Not easy as not sure what is right output on travis.
     */
    // Test if root is preserved.
    char *str = rofi_expand_path ( "/" );
    TASSERT ( strcmp ( str, "/" ) == 0 );
    g_free ( str );
    // Test is relative path is preserved.
    str = rofi_expand_path ( "../AUTHORS" );
    TASSERT ( strcmp ( str, "../AUTHORS" ) == 0 );
    g_free ( str );
    // Test another one.
    str = rofi_expand_path ( "/bin/false" );
    TASSERT ( strcmp ( str, "/bin/false" ) == 0 );
    g_free ( str );
    // See if user paths get expanded in full path.
    str = rofi_expand_path ( "~/" ); <----- oh oh
    const char *hd = g_get_home_dir ();
    TASSERT ( strcmp ( str, hd ) == 0 );
    g_free ( str );
    str = rofi_expand_path ( "~root/" );   <--- oh oh
    TASSERT ( str[0] == '/' );
    g_free ( str );
}

And rofi_expand_path does

char *rofi_expand_path ( const char *input )
{
    char **str = g_strsplit ( input, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, -1 );
    for ( unsigned int i = 0; str && str[i]; i++ ) {
        // Replace ~ with current user homedir.
        if ( str[i][0] == '~' && str[i][1] == '\0' ) {
            g_free ( str[i] );
            str[i] = g_strdup ( g_get_home_dir () ); <----------- oh oh
        }
        // If other user, ask getpwnam.
        else if ( str[i][0] == '~' ) {
            struct passwd *p = getpwnam ( &( str[i][1] ) ); <---------- oh oh
            if ( p != NULL ) {
                g_free ( str[i] );
                str[i] = g_strdup ( p->pw_dir );
            }
        }
        else if ( i == 0 ) {
            char * s = str[i];
            if ( input[0] == G_DIR_SEPARATOR ) {
                str[i] = g_strdup_printf ( "%s%s", G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, s );
                g_free ( s );
            }
        }
    }
    char *retv = g_build_filenamev ( str );
    g_strfreev ( str );
    return retv;
}

What should we do about it?

The "which" part is just rofi trying to find out whether it has been checked out from git or expanded from a release tarball.
