Hello!
We've got one quite old report about been unable to run the test under
Android.
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6943190
That was due to hard-coded path to the cat utility as /bin/cat.
When investigating, I found two other tests under the same directory
that use /usr/bin/cat and /usr/bin/echo.
These two test seem to (almost) never run because of the unusual path.
Here's the first version of the webrev, with the fix to only three tests
mentioned above:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~igerasim/6943190/0/webrev/
java/lang/Runtime/exec/ directory has also got several other tests,
which run shell commands.
Some of them have absolute path and some of them don't.
So I have a general question: Why would we ever need the absolute path
for the commands?
Why wouldn't we rely on the PATH env variable?
Sincerely yours,
Ivan
