The explanation given in this bug is incorrect. The unit tests will be run at package build time, yes; but we *also* want them run as part of the autopkgtests, because the autopkgtests not only run as part of the SRU of this package, they also run whenever a *dependency* of this package gets updated (either in SRU or in the development series). Having strong autopkgtests is important to protect against regressions /between/ packages, not just regressions /within/ packages.
The reduction in tests strictly speaking does not impact the SRU of this package itself, so I am not considering this a blocker for updating snapcraft to 2.12 under the SRU exception policy. However, I strongly disagree with this change and would like to see it reverted in the next update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1596068 Title: The unittests in autopkgtest are run twice To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1596068/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
