Hi! MSYS will not allow redirecting on top of an existing r/o file, even if the dir is r/w, like this:
$ mkdir foo $ ls -do foo drwxr-xr-x 2 peda 0 Jan 9 11:02 foo $ cd foo $ touch bar $ chmod a-w bar $ ls > bar bash: bar: Permission denied $ cat bar $ I think the above causes a testsuite failure for tap-driver-stderr.test. Cheers, Peter For reference, tap-driver-stderr.log: Running from installcheck: no Using TAP: no PATH = /home/peda/automake/tests:/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft F#/v4.0/:/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VSTSDB/Deploy:/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/Common7/IDE/:/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/BIN:/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/Common7/Tools/:/c/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319:/c/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v3.5:/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/VCPackages:/c/Program Files (x86)/HTML Help Workshop:/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/Team Tools/Performance Tools:/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/bin/NETFX 4.0 Tools:.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows Live:/c/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows Live:/c/Windows/system32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/ ./defs: line 805: priv-check.11388: Permission denied ++ pwd /home/peda/automake/tests/tap-driver-stderr.dir + fetch_tap_driver + case $am_tap_implementation in + sed '1s|#!.*|#! /bin/sh|' /home/peda/automake/lib/tap-driver.sh + chmod a+x tap-driver + sed 10q tap-driver #! /bin/sh # Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc. # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) # any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + tst=zardoz + for suf in trs log + rm -f zardoz.log zardoz.trs + touch zardoz.trs + chmod a-w zardoz.trs + st=0 + ./tap-driver --test-name zardoz --log-file zardoz.log --trs-file zardoz.trs -- sh -c 'echo 1..1; echo ok 1; echo "Hello, World!"' + cat stdout PASS: zardoz 1 + cat stderr awk: cmd. line:324: (FILENAME=- FNR=4) fatal: can't redirect to `zardoz.trs' (Permission denied) tap-driver.sh: fatal: I/O or internal error + cat zardoz.log 1..1 ok 1 PASS: zardoz 1 Hello, World! + cat zardoz.trs + test 0 -eq 0 + /bin/grep -F 'Hello, World!' stderr stdout + /bin/grep -F zardoz.trs stderr awk: cmd. line:324: (FILENAME=- FNR=4) fatal: can't redirect to `zardoz.trs' (Permission denied) + for suf in trs log + rm -f zardoz.log zardoz.trs + touch zardoz.log + chmod a-w zardoz.log + st=0 + ./tap-driver --test-name zardoz --log-file zardoz.log --trs-file zardoz.trs -- sh -c 'echo 1..1; echo ok 1; echo "Hello, World!"' + st=1 + cat stdout + cat stderr ./tap-driver: line 637: zardoz.log: Permission denied + cat zardoz.log + cat zardoz.trs cat: zardoz.trs: No such file or directory + : + test 1 -eq 0 + exit_status=1 + set +e + cd /home/peda/automake/tests + test no = yes + case $am_explicit_skips in + test 1 -eq 0 + keep_testdirs=yes + am_keeping_testdirs + case $keep_testdirs in + return 0 + set +x tap-driver-stderr: exit 1 Cheers, Peter
