'make fulltest' runs several chunks of tests, and does not show a final summary. So although some tests in some chunks fail, the last thing that the tester sees is something along these lines: ===( 35 )==========================================================All tests successful. Files=10, Tests=108, 29 wallclock secs ( 0.04 usr 0.02 sys + 19.55 cusr 1.44 csys = 21.05 CPU) Result: PASS make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/moritz/src/parrot' If only the last chunk succeeded. This is very misleading, and probably dangerous. At the very least it should say something like "WARNING: not all tests were successful, scroll up to find out which failed". This could be done by collecting the return values from the various 'make test*' calls. Even better would be real summary at the end listing the failed tests. (Observed with perl-5.10.0 and Test::Harness 3.11, parrot as of shortly-before 0.7.1) Moritz -- Moritz Lenz http://moritz.faui2k3.org/ | http://perl-6.de/
