This is not being caused by a faulty test. The default graphics toolkit for octave is not gnuplot. To get that warning, the graphics toolkit needs to be set to gnuplot. But, that is not done in those tests, so where/how is that happening? > line 0: warning: iconv failed to convert degree sign This warning makes no sense to me. > error: ignoring const execution_exception& while preparing to exit > [ Babel evaluation exited with code 0 ] > > Exit code is 0, so octave does finish. > > Hence, test assertion that > (should-not (buffer-live-p (get-buffer "*Org-Babel Error Output*"))) > does not appear to be accurate. I guess it depends on what is meant by `accurate'. Those warnings make me think that the test is running in a mis-configured environment. > > Leo, should we simply remove the assertion? Ok. I would really like to understand why the two tests are failing on sourcehut (but not the one that creates a session), but I can understand your viewpoint. Leo
