root should not be involved in running tests at all; all tests should run as a normal user, the same one that owns the build directory, and thus all files and directories in the build directory should be owned by that user. (Some tests use user namespaces to test functionality that requires root, but that's root inside a namespace, not the real user root.) So I think you need to explain more about your test configuration that results in permissions problems so we can tell if you have a valid test configuration at all. -- Joseph S.
