Welcome back, Geoff!
2) We have a problem with Apache::Test running as root, since when Apache "sudoes" into 'nobody' it can't access files under /root or some other root owned dir. The current cvs version already tries to tell the user about the problem before starting to run the test suite.
I've use A::T to test a SOAP server that runs as root, which means the tests need to be run as root as well.
the way I handled this was to add the following to my TEST.PL
# override root blocks local *Apache::TestConfig::default_user = sub { return 'root' }; local *Apache::TestConfig::default_group = sub { return 'root' };
why do you need to run tests as root?
# and that nasty chown stuff
local *Apache::TestRun::adjust_t_perms = sub { 1 };
root can still work with files owned by 'nobody', but of course...
which worked very well.
now, I'm not suggesting TEST.PL changes as a fix, but couldn't we do something similar behind the scenes if the user is running as root?
Sorry, I don't understand you? Do you suggest that the 'root' case should be optional? How does it help to solve our problem?
let me repeat what the problem is:
cd /root ; mkdir t ; chmod 0777 t ; sudo -u 'nobody' perl -le 'print -r "t" && -w _ && -x _ ? "OK" : "NOK"'
if you can make it return 'OK', than the problem is solved.
Currently the only solution that was suggested is to copy t/ into /tmp and run the tests from there and then cleanup. T
yucko!
Got a better idea?
