#2222: Testsuite code should remove output directories before tests ---------------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: Roland Haas | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: major Milestone: | Component: Cactus Version: development version | Keywords: ---------------------------------+-------------------- The current testsuite driver code does not remove output directories ins TEST/sim/THORN which can hide issues if a new revision of the code simply no longer produces an output file if an older test is still present.
There is also one test (Hydro_RNSID/rnsA2.par) that internally writes and reads data to a file while it runs. If the file is already present, then not all code is tested.
To test this, place a new file into an output directory, run the tests and the file will still be present.
