#10449: Out-of-tree tests broken on MinGW + native Python due to quoting of config.compiler -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: Rufflewind | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Test Suite | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #10441 | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): Actually, I don't see what is wrong with 525856. These are the 2 relevant changes. In `mk/test.mk`: {{{ - -e 'config.compiler="$(TEST_HC)"' \ + -e 'config.compiler="\"$(TEST_HC)\""' \ }}} In `config/ghc`: {{{ - h = os.popen('"' + config.compiler + '" --info', 'r') + h = os.popen(config.compiler + ' --info', 'r') }}} That should give the same result, shouldn't it? In mk/test.mk there are 3 pairs of quotes: * outer ' : this is a shell string * outer " : this is a python string * inner " : this is a path -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10449#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
