I have a particular dislike of random tests. They make it harder to
figure out when a bug has been fixed. What's worse is when the test
gives you enough information to make it reproducible, and we throw that
away.
I made the following change to find out the random seed that fsx was
using for this test:
+++ b/tests/generic/112
@@ -57,7 +57,7 @@ _do_test()
# This cd and use of -P gets full debug on "$RESULT_DIR" (not TEST_DEV)
cd $out
- if ! $here/ltp/fsx $_param -P "$RESULT_DIR" $FSX_AVOID $seq.$_n &>/dev/null
+ if ! $here/ltp/fsx $_param -P "$RESULT_DIR" $FSX_AVOID $seq.$_n &>"$RESULT_DIR"/fsx.stdouterr
then
echo " fsx ($_param) returned $? - see $seq.$_n.full"
mv "$RESULT_DIR"/$seq.$_n.fsxlog $seqres.$_n.full
I'm sure somebody can do something better than that which would actually
result in it being automatically preserved-on-failure/deleted-on-success.
