#12434: Test suite should not copy in un-versioned files -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: thomie Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Test Suite | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This is something like a follow on to #12112. Basically, this bug was fixed by blacklisting the copying of some files. Well I observed that for some test-cases I was working on, where I specified `-outputdir`, my local output directory was being copied... because its file name didn't match. Wouldn't it be better to just not copy any files which are not versioned? I guess this won't work if the test suite is being run from not Git, but if Git is available that seems like a more accurate test. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12434 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
