I'm confused about the opposition. This is the behavior intended by me and seems completely consistent with the test phase. Am I missing something? Under this setup, checking is optional (as it is with a manual install) and it happens after the build and before the install.
This is not true; the test phase is //not// run during a port installation, even if the Portfile sets `test.run yes`. Users would already have to explicitly run the tests with `port test R`, so they should not have to select a variant on top of that.
I've always found this counterintuitive. There should be some sort of option to automatically run the test phase during a normal port installation... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40516#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
