Package: dh-elpa Version: 1.11~bpo9+1 Severity: important Hi Sean,
This bug specifically addresses the persistence of '--eval \(ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit\)'. It is currently blocking my attempts to run ert tests through ert-runner rather than directly with ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit. It affects elpy, ert-runner (and several of its dependencies), and self-tests for other packages from http://github.com/rejeep. I upgraded the severity of this bug, because I believe we're in agreement about how debian/ert-runner.el is supposed to allow overriding of --eval \(ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit\). Feel free to downgrade the severity as appropriate. I think the existence ert-helper.el is supposed to override the entire dh_elpa_test: emacs -batch -Q -l...--eval \(run-self-test-function\) command, but I could be wrong. Steps to reproduce: 1. Pick a package that has ert tests. 2. echo '(exit)' > debian/ert-helper.el * or try another function like (pwd) * or try a specific function defined in tests/*.el 3. build the package 4. Observer how '--eval \(ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit\)' is always executed Expected behaviour: (exit) executes rather than (ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit) -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable-debug APT policy: (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.102.20171125 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dh-elpa depends on: ii debhelper 10.2.5 ii dh-make-perl 0.94 ii emacs25 25.1+1-4+deb9u1 ii libarray-utils-perl 0.5-1 ii libconfig-tiny-perl 2.23-1 ii libdebian-source-perl 0.94 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.24 ii libfile-find-rule-perl 0.34-1 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.10-1 ii perl 5.24.1-3+deb9u2 dh-elpa recommends no packages. dh-elpa suggests no packages. -- no debconf information Regards, Nicholas
