Summary: tests/misc/help-version.sh fails distcheck when tree is dirty Group: findutils Submitter: jay Submitted: Sun 26 May 2024 03:58:00 PM UTC Category: None Severity: 4 - Important Item Group: Test suite failure Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: berny Originator Name: James Youngman Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: 4.9.0 Discussion Lock: Any Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun 26 May 2024 03:58:00 PM UTC By: James Youngman <jay> If there is an unsubmitted change to a controlled file, the tests/misc/help-version.sh test fails because the environment variable VERSION holds a different value to that indicated in the output of find --version. I'm about to submit a change which makes the error message more explicit about what is different, but the change doesn't fix the test failure. If the tree only has checked-in changes, there is no failure. If only "make check" is run, I think also there is no failure. The test fails with our without my patch, the patch just puts additional details into the failure message: help-version.sh: failed test: --version-$VERSION mismatch (4.9.0.74-1f052 (being the output from find --version) should match the environment variable VERSION, which has the value 4.9.0.73-3213-dirty) Bernhard, I believe you introduced this test. What is the expected behaviour (value, if you like) of the VERSION environment variable here? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65796> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
