[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41215] Request for a "pkg test" feature

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #31, bug #41215 (project octave):

OK, demos aren't run, that got sorted out in bug #41298. Fine.

Another issue with the latest patch is that  __run_test_suite__.m  always
writes an fntests.log file in the working directory.
As the patch stands it'll be overwritten for each new package to be tested.
I thought about cd'íng to the package directory, but then we might get
trouble if that directory isn't writable (think of global packages).

Suggestions?
Is there a way to get  __run_test_suite__.m  to skip producing a fntests.log
file?

I'd like to stick with  __run_test_suite__.m  because it recurses into subdirs
and gives a nice overview for each individual package.
oruntests.m first has to be patched before it can be used for tests extracted
from .cc files (see patch in bug #41298) but maybe need even more patching.
