I've been looking through the Makefile for the test directory.
Currently, the check target says this.
## Re-run all the tests every time.
check:
address@hidden f in *.log; do test ! -f $$f || mv $$f $$f~; done
@${MAKE} check-maybe
I realised last night, that my recent changes have actually broken this
(check is now incremental).
This to me seems to be a good thing (although it was accidental). Why
should check run all tests everytime? Especially now that I have added
dependencies between tests and source (so, if you change abbrevs.el,
then abbrevs-test.el will get run).
Should make check just not build incrementally? If you want to run
everything unconditionally, then why not use
make clean check
Or am I missing something obvious? In which case, I will need to restore
the old behaviour for make check and leave make check-maybe as is.
