| Subject: | make test fails if output is generated by shell startup. |
Running make test will fail on the test for the controlling terminal
(aborts test here) and then on the 2 exit status tests when ran as
myself. The cause is that my .kshrc sends an initial string of
characters when stdout is a tty to set the window heading - without a
terminating NL. These 3 tests initially look for ^prompt: or ^pid: and
fail with the stuff before it.
This could be fixed in the test.pl by removing the initial ^ on these
matches or having the corresponding command print an initial \n.
The issue here is that the test run can fail even though Expect is ok.
This is more of a FYI than anything else, do what you want with it. I'm
only reporting it as I spent some time finding my problem. It can also
happen with end user code also.
