Thanks, but that doesn't help me reproduce it, since I don't have convenient access to a gentoo system. But that's ok, as long as you're willing to help out. >> Also, when a test fails, please rerun it like e.g., >> >> cd tests && ./t1000-basic.sh --debug --verbose > > # cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/parted-1.8.7/work/parted-1.8.7/tests > # ./t0000-basic.sh --debug --verbose > ./t0000-basic.sh: line 29: /test-lib.sh: No such file or directory > # ./t1000-mkpartfs.sh --debug --verbose > ./t1000-mkpartfs.sh: line 22: /test-lib.sh: No such file or directory > # ./t2000-mkfs.sh --debug --verbose > ./t2000-mkfs.sh: line 22: /test-lib.sh: No such file or directory > > It tries to source a file, but $srcdir is not defined. Those lines should > probably just read ". ./test-lib.sh" instead of ". $srcdir/test-lib.sh". That works for you, but would fail for someone doing a non-srcdir build. It is fixed properly on the trunk, but I did that only recently, and so those changes aren't in 1.8.7. > But after making that change the tests still fail: > > # ./t0000-basic.sh --debug --verbose > * expecting success: dd if=/dev/zero of=$dev bs=$N count=1 2> /dev/null > * ok 1: create the test file > > * expecting success: parted -s $dev mklabel msdos > out 2>&1 > * ok 2: run parted -s FILE mklabel msdos > > * expecting success: $compare out /dev/null > --- out 2007-05-16 14:47:00.000000000 +0000 > +++ /dev/null 2005-05-14 16:37:31.000000000 +0000 > @@ -1 +0,0 @@ > - > \ No newline at end of file > * FAIL 3: expect no output > $compare out /dev/null Can you see why that's failing?

The two preceding lines look identical to me, but diff found a difference. Is there a difference in the line-ending byte? > Yes/No? y > New disk label type?

All of the failures match one of the two preceding cases, so once you solve them, we should be done. _______________________________________________ bug-parted mailing list bug-parted@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-parted
