[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57584] spurious test "FAIL"s when running test suite in Octave with "--traditional" startup parameter

[Hartmut]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #57584 (project octave):

Does this depend on the Octave version?

In Octave 5.1 release I get the behavior that Mike observes (his comment #4),
which seems to be fine (at least in terms of behavior of the test command
versus run_test_suite)


hartmut@hartmut-laptop:/opt/octave-5.1.0/bin$ ./octave --norc --traditional
GNU Octave, version 5.1.0

   [...snip...]

>> disable_diagonal_matrix
ans = 1
>> test hgsave.m
***** testif HAVE_MAGICK; any (strcmp ("gnuplot", available_graphics_toolkits
()))
 toolkit = graphics_toolkit ();

  [...snip...]

   graphics_toolkit (toolkit);
 end_unwind_protect
!!!!! test failed
'h2' undefined near line 40 column 11
>> 



But in current dev Octave (hg id: f658d41003e4) I still see what I've seen
before (my comment #2), which feels weired to me:


hartmut@hartmut-laptop:/opt/octave-dev/bin$ ./octave --norc --traditional
GNU Octave, version 6.0.0

   [...snip...]

>> disable_diagonal_matrix
ans = 1
>> test hgsave.m
PASSES 6 out of 6 tests
>> 



Is this some "regression" in dev Octave, or am I doing something stupid,
here?
