A happy new year to you, too. Thank you for the testing and the report. Your system failed the final sub-test of the "colors" test because it fails to propagate an PIPE signal "out" to the expected exit status of 141. Instead, diff on your system exits with status of 2: ... > [ 132s] + mkfifo fifo > [ 132s] + printf %1000000s-a > [ 132s] + printf %1000000s-b > [ 132s] + diff --color=always ---presume-output-tty a b > [ 132s] + head -c 10 > [ 132s] diff: standard output: Broken pipe > [ 132s] + test 2 = 141 > [ 132s] + fail=1 >From the above diagnostic, it is clear there was a broken pipe error. ... > [ 132s] FAIL colors (exit status: 1) >> Agreed. To reproduce it manually, run these commands: mkfifo fifo printf '%1000000s-a' > a printf '%1000000s-b' > b head -c 10 < fifo > /dev/null & diff --color=always ---presume-output-tty a b > fifo echo $? The final echo should print 141. Did you configure your shell to ignore SIGPIPE? >> I get 141 as a result there as well in userland. I’m wondering if this has >> to do with how we configure shell variables in our osc build environment. >> I’ll investigate and get back to you, thanks for taking a look. Sean
