Helloooooo everybody !! I finally found out where my bug from [1] was coming from !
It seems to come from the fact that I installed Sage in the directory $HOME/.Sage/. And Sage does not like that. Actually, it refuses to test any file whose path contains "/." and so of course thinks that there is nothing to test when I type : sage -tp 5 /home/ncohen/.Sage/devel/sage-2/sage The error message does not say that there is nothing to test, but instead that there are not enough processors available.... This comes from line 441 of local/bin/sage-ptest sage-ptest:441: numthreads = min(numthreads, len(files)) # don't use more threads than files And the line that filters files whose path contains "/." lies in the "skip" function of sage-ptest : def skip(F): """ Returns true if the file should not be tested """ ......... if (filenm[0] == '.' or (os.path.sep + '.' in G.lstrip(os.path.sep + '.')) or 'nodoctest' in open(G).read()[:50]): Considering what SAGE_ROOT is on my computer, all my files match the (os.path.sep + '.' in G.lstrip(os.path.sep + '.')) test :-) Hoping that somebody who knows how this all works will find some sense in this (bug?) report, Noyeux Joel !
