As to "how to debug", the first step is to grep for that message and notice that it comes from here: t/lib-httpd.sh: if ! test_have_prereq SANITY; then test_skip_or_die $GIT_TEST_HTTPD \ "Cannot run httpd tests as root" fi and then grep for SANITY to find: t/test-lib.sh: # When the tests are run as root, permission tests will report that # things are writable when they shouldn't be. test -w / || test_set_prereq SANITY It appears that the check in lib-httpd.sh thinks you lack SANITY; is the root directory of your system somehow writable by you? > > > t> > t> ./t5539-fetch-http-shallow.sh ; echo $? > > 1..0 # SKIP Cannot run httpd tests as root > 0 > t> > t> GIT_TEST_HTTPD=t ./t5539-fetch-http-shallow.sh ; echo $? > error: Cannot run httpd tests as root > 1 > t> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
