Hello Zam_1234,

I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
  • I'm assuming that the line numbers are not actually in your script. Is that right?
  • What output/errors do you get?
  • What OS and version are you using?
  • What logical process have you considered? (to help steer us to follow what you are trying to achieve)
Most importantly, What output/errors do you get?

I suspect that at some point your script is in another directory, so your cd .. on line 12 is going wrong. You might be better to either remember the starting directory and explicity change back to that, or (if available) use pushd & popd to handle this for you.

If you can show us the normal output of a test run that doesn't cost you hours of waiting and also a run where you insert the line set -x before you set the BENCH variable, then that would be good too.

If the output from the make commands is going to be huge, push them out to a file if you want to keep them or just to /dev/null if not, just whilst we're testing the rest of it anyway. There are no glaring errors to me.


Thanks, in advance,
Robin

openscad-testrun

OPENSCAD-TESTRUN(1)					      General Commands Manual					       OPENSCAD-TESTRUN(1)

NAME

       openscad-testrun - set up and run the OpenSCAD test suite

SYNOPSIS

       openscad-testrun [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the openscad-testrun command.

       openscad-testrun  is  a script that sets up a directory in which the OpenSCAD test suite (implemented in ctest) can be run by creating sym-
       links to the system locations of the input data, and runs it. The created directory is not removed, but will contain the  test  results	in
       addition to the symlinks.

       It  is  required  as  the test suite in its original form expects all the test input and output data in relative locations, and the typical
       user has no write access to where the data resides. Future changes to the test suite might make it more flexible,  removing  the  need  for
       this script.

OPTIONS

       -d directory, --directory directory
	      Set  up  the  tests  in  a  directory  called directory. By default, this is generated from the current date and time like openscad-
	      test-2012-02-15_13:37.

       -n, --dry-run
	      Do not run the test suite, just set it up.

       All additional arguments are passed on to ctest.

AUTHOR

       The OpenSCAD test suite was written by Clifford Wolf, Marius Kintel, and others. The openscad-testrun script was written by chrysn.

       This manual page was written by chrysn <chrysn@fsfe.org>, for the Debian project (and may be used by others).
