I've triggered a bug in the test suite when working from the out-of-tree build directory.
The bug is in test/simple/test-fs-realpath.js:268:test_relative_input_cwd() In particular the assumption that process.cwd() and common.tmpDir are directly related causes var entry = common.tmpDir.substr(entrydir.length + 1) + '/cycles/realpath-3a'; to break and cause an abort. Since "entrydir.length + 1", when running out-of-tree, is unrelated, what ends up happening is a random substr is chosen which will likely not be on a directory-separation border. This results in an incomplete directory name. This also exposes a greater issue that needs some thought from those that know the test suite. When working from the out-of-tree build directory the common.tmpDir path points into the source directory location whereas process.cwd() will be a descendant of the build directory. There needs to be a consistent way to separate and reference paths for: 1. The current working directory (CWD) 2. The output directory common.tmpDir which is a descendant of CWD 3. The source directory containing the Javascript test files -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
