Base.runtests() failed

[scottsallberg]

I'm running Julia version 0.5.0-rc3+0 on a Mac with OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6 (15G1004)

I just issued the Base.runtests() command at the Julia prompt to see how well everything works in this release that I have been working with for a week or so.

Since this level of work is beyond me, maybe I just need to download the next release candidate rc4...

Here's a screen dump of the error messages:

Thanks for the report! Do you have a juliarc.jl file under /tmp? Looks like the test at

julia/test/cmdlineargs.jl

Lines 304 to 305 in 8cb72ee

	# `HOME=/tmp` to avoid errors in the user .juliarc.jl, which hangs the tests. Issue #17642
	@test parse(Int,readchomp(setenv(`$exename -E "Base.JLOptions().startupfile" --startup-file=yes`, ["HOME=/tmp"]))) == JL_OPTIONS_STARTUPFILE_ON

is more fragile than it should be, and should instead be creating a new clean temporary directory just for that test and getting rid of it when done.

[scottsallberg]

nope, no .juliarc.jl file under /tmp. Should there be?

[tkelman]

nevermind, it's not coming from tmp, it's coming from the binary https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/v0.5.0-rc4/contrib/mac/juliarc.jl

We should pass PATH in the env keyword on that test line.
