#1242: test system does not pause if test fails to run
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  rhaas   |       Owner:     
     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new
 Priority:  minor   |   Milestone:     
Component:  Cactus  |     Version:     
 Keywords:          |  
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 when running all tests in a thorn, the test system does not stop for user
 input when a test completely fails to run (or produces no output files) eg
 due to an error in the parameter file.
 {{{
   Test GRHydro: tov_carpetevolutionmask2
     "Carpet mesh refined, one TOV, Gamma-law, use evolution mask"

   Issuing mpirun -np 2 exe/cactus_bns_all
 arrangements/Zelmani/GRHydro/test/tov_carpetevolutionmask2.par
 Cactus exited with error code 1
 Please check the logfile TEST/bns_all/GRHydro/tov_carpetevolutionmask2.log


   No files created in test directory

   Failure: 6 files missing, 0 files compared, 0 differ
 }}}

 Had the test run but produced different files, the system would have
 stopped allowing he user to inspect the results.

 For a thorn with many tests this can make it hard to spot these errors.
