This can be split in several secitons. - load the lib from the build-dir or the system pkg (the latter in this case) - test file in inst/*: pararrayfun.m, pserver.m, parcellfun.m in our case - checking C++ files - run tests in debian/check.m
Knowing that we can simplify this to: $ cat > foo << EOF pkg ('load', 'parallel'); test ("inst/pararrayfun.m", "verbose"); EOF $ xvfb-run -a octave-cli --no-history --silent --no-init-file --no-window-system foo That is much better ... That can be used in the interactive mode like: And that can be used like this then: $ octave-cli octave:1> pkg ('load', 'parallel'); octave:2> pararrayfun (2, @ (x, y) x * y, [1, 2, 3, 4], [2, 3, 4, 5], "ChunksPerProc", 2, "CumFunc", @ (a, b) a + b), 40 error: int32 scalar cannot be indexed with { error: called from parcellfun at line 206 column 25 chunk_parcellfun at line 47 column 25 parcellfun at line 142 column 28 pararrayfun at line 85 column 28 Even that can be more simplified: Good: octave:33> pararrayfun (1, @ (x, y) x * y, [1, 2], "ChunksPerProc", 1, "CumFunc", @ (a, b) a + b), 40 ans = 40 Bad: octave:35> pararrayfun (1, @ (x, y) x * y, [1, 2], "ChunksPerProc", 2, "CumFunc", @ (a, b) a + b), 40 error: int32 scalar cannot be indexed with { error: called from parcellfun at line 206 column 25 pararrayfun at line 85 column 28 ChunksPerProc > 1 breaks it. Might it be that we need at least 2 vcpus for the test? Going into a 4 cpu env where things worked fine before. But there it is also broken: octave:1> pkg ('load', 'parallel'); octave:2> pararrayfun (1, @ (x, y) x * y, [1, 2], "ChunksPerProc", 2, "CumFunc", @ (a, b) a + b), 40 error: int32 scalar cannot be indexed with { error: called from parcellfun at line 206 column 25 pararrayfun at line 85 column 28 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1911400 Title: autopkgtests broken in hirsute - error: int32 scalar cannot be indexed with .
