GNU PSPP has a whole directory hierarchy of .at test files, which
are included into a top-level testsuite.at. This makes AT_CHECK
write confusingly incorrect file names into testsuite.log. For
example, PSPP has tests in tests/language/data-io/add-files.at,
and for these tests AT_CHECK logs, e.g.:
../../tests/add-files.at:108: pspp -O format=csv save-a.sps
That is, it makes it look as though add-files.at is directly
inside tests/. Instead, it would be better if it would write the
full correct path:
../../tests/language/data-io/add-files.at:108: pspp -O format=csv save-a.sps
Or it could at least indicate that some part of the name was
omitted:
../../tests/.../add-files.at:108: pspp -O format=csv save-a.sps
I'm willing to help, if someone will give an opinion as to which
alternative is better.
Thanks,
Ben.
