*: You can't currently (2011-03-17) do out-of-source tests. You'll need to build and test inside of your repository. *:: Correlary: this will make will your repository with lots of new files Git will complain about. Solution: Make a copy of your repository before doing tests. *:: Several test do "chmod -R 777 ." on the testing directory. This needs to be fixed as it's insecure and it angers Git (which sees the permission change as something to be committed). This needs to be fixed (#1978). In the meanwhile: Make a copy of your repository before doing tests. +*:::You might be able to fix the permissions with: {code} +git diff | grep diff | awk '{print $3}' | sed -e 's@a/src/condor_tests/@@' | xargs chmod 644 +{endcode} *:Parallel tests are unlikely to work. A number of tests depend on the output from other tests. Furthermore, some tests assume no competition and may reuse files or directories. *:Re-running tests is unlikely to work. Tests leave a lot of garbage behind that causes problems when they run again. Solution: x_makeclean.pl or "make resubmit" might clean things up enough. (#1153 is unfinished work designed to help with this.)
