    Problem Report Number 0570
    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Rejected (REJ)

    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSC version 4.1.6
    Test Identification POSIX.cmd/test 78
    Problem Summary PG4C.00103 This IR claims that the test may fail when run with a non-interactive shell.
    Problem Text
    In the debug-output we find :
    + mkdir sub_78
    + [ 0 -ne 0 ]
    + chmod 755 sub_78
    + [ 0 -ne 0 ]
    + cat
    + 1> sub_78/hello.exe 0<<
    printf "hello\n"
    + chmod 755 sub_78/hello.exe
    + [ 0 -ne 0 ]
    + hello.exe
    /vsc/VSC4.1.6/tet_tmp_dir/22889a/test/test.sh[31]: hello.exe: not found

    In this test our shell exits after the 1st 'Command not found'
    situation. This gives the output NORESULT.

    This behaviour is allowed by the Standard (See Chapter 2.8.1
    Consequences of Shell Errors). There is stated in case of 'Command not
    found' the shell 'may exit'.

    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    The reason for the error is not valid. VSC requires that the
    tests be run in the foreground with an interactive shell. Tests
    cannot be run in the background or using I/O redirection.

    Section 2.8.1 of the Commands and Utilities standard only applies
    to non-interactive shells. An interactive shell will not exit in
    the situation described above.

    This issue is the same as for PG4C.00067.
