[Tip] If the result of make test doesn't change even if you change the solution

[m-spitfire]

Name: Murad Bashirov

Run make clean or delete the files in _build/default/test/*.output then re-run the test command, for some reason dune doesn't re-run the command to re-generate the output files to check diff, but uses the old files.

Temporarily, you can edit Makefile.
Make all: to all: clean and it will automatically clean and re-make when you run make or make test.

Hi Murad,

I don't understand what you mean. It works well in my implementation.

make clean
make test
// works well

@KihongHeo
I expected that make would remove and remake test outputs automatically, without make clean.

[KihongHeo]

@ICubE- can you here write down your sequence of commands and error messages? or diagnostics?

[m-spitfire]

@KihongHeo without make clean I expected make test to run the tests on changed code.

Sequences:

make test
# test case doesn't pass
# so I change to code, now it's correct
make test
# test still doesn't pass because it used files generated on the previous invocation

Hi,

We just solved this problem and updated the homework template.
So from now on, students cloning homework template will not have the above-mentioned problems.

make test
# test case doesn't pass
# change the code correctly
make test
# test case pass

Additionally, this problem has no effect on grading.
Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks.

@sujin0529 can you also share the patch to update existing homework repos? Thanks.

You change the test/dune with this code.

Thanks, @sujin0529. I'll keep this issue open till the end of HW1 for anyone who faces the same problem.
