Gitlab very kindly exposes the details of the git commit message (among much else) in the environment. Unfortunately, piglit tries to handle the environment in non-UTF8-safe ways, which means if the top-of-tree commit mentions non-ASCII characters (say, in the author's name) then all the tests fail and so does the pipeline. Fortunately none of those variables are things our piglit invocation needs. Since I've failed to rebuild the docker image as yet, just clear the likely variables from the environment before running piglit. This-makes-me: ☹
X server test suite This suite contains a set of tests to verify the behaviour of functions used internally to the server. = How it works = Through some automake abuse, we link the test programs with the same static libraries as the Xorg binary. The test suites can then call various functions and verify their behaviour - without the need to start the server or connect clients. This testing only works for functions that do not rely on a particular state of the X server. Unless the test suite replicates the expected state, which may be difficult. = How to run the tests = Run "make check" in the test directory. This will compile the tests and execute them in the order specified in the TESTS variable in test/Makefile.am. Each set of tests related to a subsystem are available as a binary that can be executed directly. For example, run "xkb" to perform some xkb-related tests. == Adding a new test == When adding a new test, ensure that you add a short description of what the test does and what the expected outcome is.
