Tobias Frost created LOGCXX-543:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Some tests can fail when there is a "Q" in the pathname
Key: LOGCXX-543
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-543
Project: Log4cxx
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Tests
Reporter: Tobias Frost
Attachments: 0004-Escape-sed-expression.patch
During updating Debian's autopkgtest I came across the problem that sometimes
e.g the patternlayouttest fails with something like this:
{noformat}
51/57 Test #15: patternlayouttest ......................***Failed 0.17 sec
LC_CTYPE: C.UTF-8
patternlayouttest : sed: file output/patternlayout.sed line 1: unknown
option to `s'
Line 363: Compare::compare(FILTERED, LOG4CXX_FILE("witness/patternLayout.10"))
was expected to be true, was false.
sed: file output/patternlayout.sed line 1: unknown option to `s'{noformat}
After some debugging into it, I figured out that "Q" is used as the seperator
for sed and the patternlayouttest uses somewhere __FILE__ which ends up in an
invalid sed expression. As autopkgtest copies the source tree to some
mktemp-made directory, a "Q" can happen in the source path...
The attached patch (I willl also make a PR) will make sure that any "Q"'s are
escaped as "\Q" so that sed will not become unhappy.
