Bug Description
I'm currently carrying out a testing campaign on various builds of the trunk of SIESTA (revno 646). I want to automate everything as much as possible, in order to avoid human mistakes and schedule the tests when the computer is most available.
I use an out-of-the-box GCC toolchain from an up-to-date Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, including GFortran 5.4.0 and GNU Make 4.1.
When running 'make clean' in the Tests/ subdirectory, Make enters an infinite loop likely due to circular include between the makefiles and test.mk.
I would like to discuss the test workflows so that such loops can be removed and the whole test process be made more robust.
To post a comment you must log in.
The current idea of the tests is that they should be runned in the Obj/Tests directory. Since this allows one to test different compiled executables.
Could you try in the Obj/Tests directory, at least I can't reproduce this?
However, I think both I speak for me and Alberto in regards of updating the tests for consistency, better checks and ease.
