Speeding up development of test-container testcases

Speeding up development of test-container testcases

[Joseph Simmons-Talbott]

Hi,

I'm working on developing some test-container testcases and am
currently using the workflow where I run configure and then make to
build glibc.  I am having to run a full 'make check' in order to be
able to run a test-container testcase individually with 'make test
t=...'.  I've attempted to determine the part of 'make check' that I
need to build before I can successfully just run a single testcase
after a clean build of glibc but have been unsuccessful so far.  Any
tips are greatly appreciated.

The error I get is: error: test-container.c:832: Cannot create testroot lock.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or expecting behavior that I shouldn't.

Thanks,
Joe

Looking at my shell history, I believe these commands can be used to
recreate the testroot with the current glibc build:

  rm `pwd`/testroot.pristine/install.stamp
  make -j`nproc` `pwd`/testroot.pristine/install.stamp

Thanks,
Florian

That worked.  Thank you so much.
