Hello,
I would like to get the opinion of this list on some tests paths changes.
Currently, many tests are located in the misc/ directory. For about 39
of the binaries, there are more than one test.
I propose that for these binaries, we should move these tests into their
own specific directories.
For example, tests/misc/tty-eof.pl and tests/misc/tty.sh into tests/tty/
This change would help us more easily identify which tests need to be
run for each program.
I have already prepared the patches needed for this change. As an
example, I've attached the first one in the stack.
This is now pushed at:
https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/15925d0e5
It makes it easier to test single utils like:
$ util=cksum
$ tests="$(shopt -s nullglob; echo tests/$util/*.{sh,pl})"
$ make -j TESTS="$tests" SUBDIRS=. check
cheers,
Pádraig
