The test_atexit unit test relies on the specific location of the generated files. When TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is unset, _run_sub_test_lib_test_common sets it to pwd, which is two levels under the pwd of the parent unit test, and the parent can find the generated files just fine. But when TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is set, it's stored in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS, and even though _run_sub_test_lib_test_common correctly overrides it, when the child script is run it sources GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS and TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is overridden. Effectively both the parent and child scripts output to the same directory. make TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=/tmp/foobar GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS && make -C t t0000-basic.sh We could try to specify --root, as 6883047071 (t0000: set TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY for sub-tests, 2013-12-28) suggested, but then the results of subtests would leak out because TEST_RESULTS_DIR would not be changed from the parent. Instead, let's revert part of 2d14e13c56 (test output: respect $TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, 2013-04-29) by removing TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY from GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS. It's unclear how much value t/valgrind/analyze.sh provides today, but users of that script that use TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY as well can simply call the script with that variable in the environment. It doesn't make much sense to break t0000-basic.sh for users of TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, just to provide a little convenience for the users of t/valgrind/analyze.sh. Presumably this was broken since 900721e15c (test-lib: introduce 'test_atexit', 2019-03-13).
