The return value of 'with-paginated-output-port' is just whatever the
last expression put in that macro evaluates to.  Also 'close-pipe'
needs to be mocked, otherwise an error will result.

Try:

(test-assert "with-paginated-output-port: finds less in PATH"
  (call-with-temporary-directory
    (lambda (dir)
      (define used-command #false)
      (with-environment-variables
          `(("PATH" ,dir))
        (make-dummy-executable-file dir "less")
        (mock ((ice-9 popen) open-pipe*
               (lambda (mode command . args)
                 (when used-command ; <--- an extra test
                    (error "open-pipe* should only be called once"))
                 (set! used-command command) ; <--- this captures the passed 
command
                 (%make-void-port ""))) ; return a dummy port
              (mock ((ice-9 popen) close-pipe (const 'ok))
                 (mock ((guix colors) isatty?* (const #t))
                    (with-paginated-output-port port 'ok)))))
      (and (pk 'used-command used-command dir) ; <-- fails on my computer 
because a non-absolute path is passed and I haven't applied our patch
           (string=? (in-vicinity dir "less") used-command)))))

Greetings,
Maxime.
