What goes around comes around :-(
A year ago (well technically it was 2nd June), my build of the vim
version/patches we were using at that time started to hang at the
end of the tests, so I stopped running the tests.
On 1st March I decided to retry the tests and it was back to normal
(failed, but exited).
Today I've just had my first build of 8.1. I had interpreted the
book as suggesting all tests might pass, so I removed my '|| true'
after the test invocation:
Vim: Error reading input, exiting...^M
^M
Vim: Finished.^M
^[[24;1Hmake[2]: *** [Makefile:81: test44.out] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
similarly tests 39, 29, 14.
So, I reinstated '|| true' in my package script. That then got as
far as the end:
# Check if the test.out file matches test.ok.
2,7c2,33
< ×<91>
[snip a lot, it thinks the files differ]
> . line 12 ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGREDCBA9876543210 12
rm -rf X* test.ok viminfo
make[2]: Leaving directory '/building/vim81/src/testdir'
And at that point it again hung. Trying to stop the main script for
chapter 6 with Ctrl-C failed, but I was able to find the process for
the package script and kill that.
Summary: I will again stop running the tests for vim.
