An inconsistency I have just noted. The command suggested to re-run failed
tests does not work (it provides ‘petsc’ instead of the source tree location
’sees_tutorials’ as per the example below)
# To rerun failed tests:
# make -f gmakefile.test test search='petsc-runex62_fetidp_3d_tet'
[szampini@localhost petsc]$ make -f gmakefile.test test
search='petsc-runex62_fetidp_3d_tet'
# No tests run
[szampini@localhost petsc]$ make -f gmakefile.test test
search='snes_tutorials-runex62_fetidp_3d_tet'
TEST snes_tutorials-runex62_fetidp_3d_tet
