[jed-users] Failing unit test for valid $HOME

[Rafael Laboissière <rafael@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Some unit tests in the test_expand.sl file fail in this particular case:

    $ HOME="/home/rlaboiss/" make -C src runtests
    make: Entering directory '/var/data/rlaboiss/debian/PKGS/jed/jed/src'
    ./test/runtests.sh /var/data/rlaboiss/debian/PKGS/jed/jed/src/objs/jed

    expand_filename (/foo/bar/~/~/xx/..) -> /home/rlaboiss/, expected /home/rlaboiss//
    expand_filename (~/foo/bar/~/~/xx/..) -> /home/rlaboiss/, expected /home/rlaboiss//
    expand_filename (~/foo/bar/~/~xx) -> /home/rlaboiss/~xx, expected /home/rlaboiss//~xx
    expand_filename (~/foo/bar/~/xx~) -> /home/rlaboiss/xx~, expected /home/rlaboiss//xx~

    Running /var/data/rlaboiss/debian/PKGS/jed/jed/src/objs/jed -script ./test/test_region.sl
    Running /var/data/rlaboiss/debian/PKGS/jed/jed/src/objs/jed -script ./test/test_replace.sl
    Running /var/data/rlaboiss/debian/PKGS/jed/jed/src/objs/jed -script ./test/test_search.sl
    make: *** [Makefile:310: runtests] Error 1
    make: Leaving directory '/var/data/rlaboiss/debian/PKGS/jed/jed/src'

The problem arises because there is a trailing slash in the HOME 
environment variable. This is one of the problematic unit tests:

    test_expand_filename ("~/foo", "$HOME/foo"$);

This happens because the expand_filename command sanitizes the resulting 
path, by removing the multiple slashes, among other things.

This could, theoretically, be fixed as:

    test_expand_filename ("~/foo", jed_standardize_filename ("$HOME/foo"$));

However, the function jed_standardize_filename, defined in 
src/sysdep.c is not exported in SLang.

Best,

Rafael Laboissière
