Awful idea, as it prevents easy debugging/diagnosis of framework issues.

If the test is verbose, then the child process' stderr should be
redirected, and not Python's process.

Nose will print stdout when the test fails or errors, but not when it
passes. Printing stderr when it's expected is ugly and misleading.

I don't understand how Nose fits here.  Isn't that something you use to test
the piglit framework itself?

Or am I to understand that you're making Piglit harder to use for OpenGL
developers, so that it is easier to use for Piglit developers? Isn't that
backwards?


The fact is that, without at least some of the above hunks, the shader
runner tests output gets silently redirected.


Jose

These are framework tests that you're modifying. They're run by nose.


You're right. I could swear that without this change stderr wasn't working, but it does now.

I'll drop this one.

Jose
