This change at least makes the two kinds of skipping consistent. 2) Automated build environments may have good reasons for building with a minimal set of prereqs, and we don't want to discourage running our test suite by breaking builds. --- diff --git a/test/README b/test/README index ce403cef..e54e36b7 100644 --- a/test/README +++ b/test/README @@ -117,6 +117,13 @@ Note that some tests in the existing test suite rely on previous test items, so you cannot arbitrarily skip any test and expect the remaining tests to be unaffected. +Currently we do not consider skipped tests as build failures.
