#42731: RFE: Add a conf option to automatically run test phase during normal install process -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------+-------------------------------- While MacPorts currently has some support for running test suites for ports, this is hidden in the `port test` command, which users must run manually separately from the normal install process. It would be much more convenient for users who are worried about the integrity of their software if they could just set something like {{{ force_run_testsuites yes }}} in their macports.conf file. It would also be useful to have a Portfile option to override this, for example: {{{ test.force no }}} to revert to the current behavior of only running the test suite manually with `port test`, regardless of what the user has set in their conf file (in case the testsuite is broken, but the Portfile developer still wants to be able to work on fixing it). Also, if this change were made, adding a `depends_test` type of dependency as per #38208 would probably become more important. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42731> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
