contains GTester leftovers
smcv opened this issue · 3 comments
xdg-app 0.5.2 tries to run its build-time tests under both Automake (TESTS) and GTester (TEST_PROGS). In Debian I apply a patch to disable the GTester part, because there's no point in having both, and GTester doesn't/didn't support treating a test that exits 77 as "every test-case was skipped".
GTester is somewhat deprecated, according to ebassi.
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks as though git master has fully migrated from GTester to glib-tap.mk (like GLib did a while ago), which means that Makefile.gtester and all references to TEST_PROGS can hopefully be removed.

This happens on Debian's official autobuilders, which disable kernel module loading as a security hardening measure, preventing FUSE from being tested at build-time. We'll hopefully be able to test the FUSE bits with installed-tests, which run on different infrastructure.
I'm not in any way an expert on test setups, but I believe the GTester stuff has been properly exorcised in master, and we now have installed tests, as well as actual tests you know, testing stuff..

Looks good to me!
