Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.3.1 Severity: wishlist I have a package (remctl) that provides both Perl and Python bindings with corresonding binary packages. I want to run autopkgtest-pkg-perl and autopkgtest-pkg-python tests on the corresponding binary packages.
autodep8 can't see how to run Perl tests because the Perl module is in a perl subdirectory, which isn't surprising, so just adding autopkgtest-pkg-perl to the Testsuite control field didn't work for those tests. I therefore manually created a debian/tests/control file with the corresponding content, and that works fine (except for the smoke tests because of the subdirectory thing, but I can work on that later). Surprisingly, once I did that, the autopkgtest-pkg-python tests specified via the Testsuite control field stopped running. That value was ignored once a debian/tests/control file exists. In retrospect, this makes sense given what I suspect to be the implementation using autodep8, but it's unfortunate. If I explicitly list autopkgtest-pkg-python in Testsuite, it would be nice to still generate and run a test control file using autodep8 for it as well as the manually-specified debian/tests/control file. (In other words, I would like to run the merger of the tests in debian/tests/control plus the tests corresponding to any autopkgtest-pkg-* entries in the Testsuite control field.) -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages autopkgtest depends on: ii apt-utils 1.6.1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5 ii procps 2:3.3.14-1+b1 ii python3 3.6.5-3 ii python3-debian 0.1.32 Versions of packages autopkgtest recommends: ii autodep8 0.12 Versions of packages autopkgtest suggests: pn lxc <none> pn lxd-client <none> pn qemu-system <none> pn qemu-utils <none> ii schroot 1.6.10-4 -- no debconf information
