The following comment by the main ack upstream developer in the according upstream ticket may give a hint where to look for the failure reason:
----- Forwarded message from Andy Lester (https://github.com/beyondgrep/ack2/issues/652#issuecomment-350527181) ----- Here's something interesting: Many of the tests I see at https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-artful/artful/amd64/a/ack/20171024_160017_5333d@/log.gz are showing `-` as filenames found in tests where actual filenames are expected, like so: ``` # Failed test 'File on command line is always searched' # at t/Util.pm line 412. # +----+-------+---------------------------------+ # | Elt|Got |Expected | # +----+-------+---------------------------------+ # | 0|[ |[ | # * 1| '-' | 't/swamp/#emacs-workfile.pl#' * # | 2|] |] | # +----+-------+---------------------------------+ # actual[ # '-' # ] # expected[ # 't/swamp/#emacs-workfile.pl#' # ] # Looks like you failed 1 test of 1. ``` It's a pretty consistent pattern happening throughout. Maybe there's something in how the tests get run that confuse STDIN with the filesystem? ----- End forwarded message ----- So does the autopkgtest infrastructure in Ubuntu run on a rather exotic file system which might result in tools regarding files as STDIN? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian Perl Group, which is subscribed to ack in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1707979 Title: No ack or ack-grep in artful.
