In that event, simply rerun without the -j option for more straightforward output. +If coveraging is enabled (coveraging=yes), then Python programs run +during testing are run via Python coveraging. This prefixes the relevant +commands with the content of the python_coverage option, whose default +value of "coverage run" is appropriate if the standard Python coverage +package is installed and accessible in the command path. It can be +set to a different value if necessary, or set to the empty string to +disable Python coveraging. The latter happens automatically (with a +message) if the tool cannot be found. When running multiple jobs with +"-j", if python_coverage has its default value, "--parallel" is automatically +appended to the command. With a non-default setting, accomodating +parallelism is the user's responsibility. + For instructions on how to live-test the software, see the file INSTALL. == Reverting to a clean state == |
