I thought of a similar idea: making my test scripts always return the success status, and notifying of the failure in some other way. The key notion of your solution and mine is the same: always report the exit status 0. Your idea is implemented with the TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable, while mine with changing the behavior of test scripts. My test scripts are generated automatically, so I only have to change the generating script, and not every test script. > (the nicely formatted messages will be wrong (since you are faking > success some of the time), but presumably you are smarter than to > believe w/o scrutiny anything you read on computer screen, like this > message.... ;-) Yeah! But still I want the output of "make check" to be clean. When a test fails, then I expect to see: "FAIL: test.sh". Thanks & best, Irek
