Package: hexedit Version: 1.5-1 Severity: important Using an ampersand at the end of a command means it never fails:
$ true ; false & echo $?
[1] 199336
0
[1]+ Exit 1 false
$ false ; false & echo $?
[1] 199355
0
[1]+ Exit 1 false
Using xvfb-run with a terminal curses UI doesn't do anything over
running it without xvfb-run.
hexedit-1.5 $ xvfb-run ls | head -n1
autogen.sh
hexedit-1.5 $ head -vn-0 debian/tests/*
==> debian/tests/control <==
Test-Command: hexedit -h 2>&1 | grep '^usage'
Restrictions: superficial
Test-Command: xvfb-run -a hexedit debian/tests/control &
Depends: @, xauth, xvfb
I suggest dropping the test in question, unless you can figure out a
way to properly test a curses user interface.
I think with printf, pipetty and ansi2txt (from colorized-logs) you can
get an autopkgtest that actually exercises the user interface:
$ rm -f foo bar ; echo oof > foo ; echo rab > bar ; printf 'foo\n\trab\x18y'
| pipetty hexedit 2>&1 | ansi2txt | tr '\r' '\n' ; head -vn-0 foo bar ; cmp foo
bar
