#14706: T11489 fails if run as root -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: bgamari Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Continuous | Version: 8.5 Integration | 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The testcase `T11489` tests for #11489 by creating a `.prof` file, removing its write bit, and trying to run a program with profiling enabled. Usually the program would fail with an error message as the RTS can't open the `.prof` file for writing. However, when run as `root` the test succeeds. "What madman would compile GHC as `root`?" you ask? Well, CircleCI runs builds as `root` by default. It seems like running builds under Docker is one way around this, although this seems like a pretty large hammer just to eliminate a single test failure. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14706 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
