[Koha-devel] Failing test cases

[Robin Sheat]

I've been attempting to build a new set of packages for 3.2.1, however
part of building the packages is running tests. If you attempt to run
"make -j1 test" on a system that doesn't have a koha database with the
default account and password configured, they will fail. 

This seems to be because the modules that they're testing include
C4::Auth or C4::Context, which tries to talk to the DB. 

What's the recommended solution to this? My thinking is that anything
that requires a database connection should be moved to its own directory
so that it won't be run by default (or, better, it should be designed in
such a way to not require a database. But that's possibly significantly
harder.)

I can just move the problematic tests[0] out of the way for the sake of
the packages, but that's definitely not the right solution.
