[GHC] #15469: Validation doesn't play nicely on a shared computer
#15469: Validation doesn't play nicely on a shared computer -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Test Suite | Version: 8.4.3 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: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- In my shared Linux server, validation creates a directory structure under `/tmp` to do its work. It then creates a directory named something like `ghctest-52ezqtk2` under which the tests live. However, some of the tests in the testsuite are library tests. These end up in a `libraries` directory, accessed with prefixes like `../../libraries/xyz`. That is, the `libraries` directory ends up to be `/tmp/libraries`. The problem is that I share this Linux server with my students, who are also attempting to run validation. After the occasional cleanout of `/tmp`, whoever validates first creates the `/tmp/libraries` directory and then owns that directory -- anyone else who tries to validate gets permission errors until the next cleanout of `tmp`. Even with the presumably quick fix of changing the permissions on `libraries`, the very use of that folder means that two people cannot validate simultaneously on the same machine. Can we fix this? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15469 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Possibly relevant commit (but I'm sure there is a better solution than reinstating this hack): https://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blobdiff/e02beb1849416f5af8ec56acd17f37b5dc7... {{{ - # Hack. A few tests depend on files in ancestor directories - # (e.g. extra_files(['../../../../libraries/base/dist- install/haddock.t'])) - # Make sure tempdir is sufficiently "deep", such that copying/linking those - # files won't cause any problems. - # - # If you received a framework failure about adding an extra level: - # * add one extra '../' to the startswith('../../../../../') in do_test - # * add one more number here: - tempdir = os.path.join(tempdir, '1', '2', '3') }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15469#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
