#432: Running `make fulltest` does not test fully.
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: Util | Owner: Util
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: configure | Version: trunk
Severity: medium | Keywords: fulltest make makefile
Lang: | Patch:
Platform: all |
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Target "fulltest" behaves in a less-than-useful fashion; if any of the
groups of tests fail, then none of the later groups will run at all.[[BR]]
For example, if the "doc_tests" group fails, then "manifest_tests" will
not run.
Since all the variations of the runcore tests (which rarely *all* pass)
are ordered first, testers who rely on the completeness of target
"fulltest" may have *never* run the later-ordered meta-quality tests.
Target "fulltest" should ignore errors in its sub-targets. I think that
fulltest was *intended* to do just that, but the single dash before the
single "make" command is a mis-coding of the concept. A separate "make"
for each sub-target is needed, each preceded with its own error-ignoring
dash.
