Hi Folks, The earlier guidance was a great help. Specifically, this info from Daniel on Apr 28:
> *_tests.py look by default for svn in ../../svn/svn --- i.e., build > outputs. Are you running from a built source tree? If not, pass > --bin=/usr/bin. By using --bin=, I was able to run the tests successfully against my 1.6.15 installation.Daniel also informed me about the --help option. I suppose that is a universal enough convention now in Subversion for this type of script. However, as an old shell-script coder I was more used to "-h" or just letting a script get chatty when wrong parameters are supplied. Nico's posts (and Daniel's) on the subtleties of XFAIL are of interest, because testing is probably going to be a big part of my job soon. I am going to have to scan this thread a few more times before I fully understand it. Folks, I did try to study the testing READMEs and the info at http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/building.html before I posted here. I have recently Googled for sites that mention both "basic_tests.py" and "man page", but without useful results. If there's more in-depth documentation on basic_tests.py somewhere (besides the script itself), I'd welcome some guidance here.
