make test actually runs tests/test_run.pl. See drizzled_start in that file and tests/lib/dtr_process.pl if you want to see how drizzled is started.
Anyway, make test will just run drizzled directly from the source tree where drizzle has been built (e.g. no make install). And as you've just found out, you can't run it as root because drizzled will refuse. Otoh, when you are really starting a drizzle server, you would typically do that as root and then you must start it as "drizzled --user=drizzle" so that drizzled will drop root privileges and run as user "drizzle" instead. This use case is not really tested and unsurprisingly we've recently had bugs fixed with this usage. (So actually, there should be at least some tests that are actually run as root...) Btw, useful tip: It is also possible to just "cd tests; ./test_run.pl". With this usage you can pass arguments to test_run (aka dtr), for instance only run a specific test suite, such as the module you are currently developing, to save time. Example: ./test_run.pl suite=json_server henrik On Sat, Mar 24, 2012 at 4:41 PM, Mohit Srivastava <srivastavamohi...@gmail.com> wrote: > I can do that , but I want to know , during testing from where server is > start ? > > > On Sat, Mar 24, 2012 at 8:10 PM, Olaf van der Spek <olafvds...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> Shame on you.
