Hmm... I was thinking more along the lines of this patch instead. I don't think the test should be skipped. I think it should be made independent of the invoking user's TERM. Because the test is self-contained it does not depend upon the user's TERM setting. In fact I think it is required because ansi escape sequences were coded into the script. That means if this is run on a non-ansi terminal it would fail. [This dependence upon TERM but the assumption of ansi escape sequences in the test may account for tput "failures" on non-ansi terminals that you reported during development. (shrug) Not sure but it seems plausible to me.] Bob diff --git a/tests/color.test b/tests/color.test index d30d1e0..ed88c10 100755 --- a/tests/color.test +++ b/tests/color.test @@ -20,6 +20,9 @@ # Test Automake TESTS color output. +TERM=ansi +export TERM + . ./defs || exit 1 set -e
