Description Pierre-Yves 2017-10-31 16:03:55 UTC

I would like to enable checks while building the libinput 1.9.1 package, but I can't manage to get this test working. Could you advise please ?

are you running as root? the test suite needs to create files in /var/run and /etc/ for udev to work correctly and it needs to create uinput devices.

if you do run as root, mkdir /run/udev and that should fix the issue.

Thanks for the quick answer !

No indeed, it's executed with fakeroot.
Is there an option to skip this test so at least the other tests can be executed when the package is built ?

Comment 4 Peter Hutterer 2017-11-01 21:53:41 UTC

the patchset I pushed yesterday together with 8a2177b tests for /dev/uinput as well. If that isn't present, then it'll skip the test. And it already does so anyway when *not* running as root so that's always an option.
