No, there isn't a way currently. I agree with Dennis that we do want to ultimately fix the flaky tests, but at the same time, it does seem reasonable to use a partial test run for your profile results. I suspect you'd need to switch the call to: $(MAKE) PROFILE=GEN -j1 -k test || true to make it best-effort. > - Related problem: `t3700-add.sh` fails again in 2.10.1 for me.

I can't reproduce any problems with raciness there, but there is a known problem with running the script as root (which I guess you might be doing from your "make prefix=/usr" call). There's some discussion in http://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/T/#u, but it looks like the patch stalled. -Peff
