    Problem Report Number 1126
    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Rejected (REJ)
    Problem Resolution ID REJ.X.0328
    Raised 1970-01-01 08:00
    Updated 2003-03-13 08:00
    Published null
    Product Standard Internationalised Terminal Interfaces
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSU version 5.0.2
    Test Identification xcurses/use_env 1
    Problem Summary PG4U.00145 This test may fail if TERMINFO is not defined in the environment prior to running the tests.
    Problem Text
    This failure affects three cases:

    /tset/CAPIxcurses/fdel_curte/fdel_curte1
    /tset/CAPIxcurses/fsetupterm/fsetupterm1
    /tset/CAPIxcurses/fuse_env/fuse_env1

    In each case, the test includes:

    sprintf(old_terminfo, "TERMINFO=%s", getenv("TERMINFO"));

    It TERMINFO is not set, the getenv() returns NULL and sprintf() fails on
    a segmentation violation. There is no reason to expect TERMINFO to be set
    by default.

    Review Information

    Review Type TSMA Review
    Start Date null
    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    We agree with the submitter that this is an undocumented prerequisite to
    running these tests. The workaround is for the user to define TERMINFO
    in the environment prior to running the xcurses tests, to allow the
    implementation to demonstrate conformance for these interfaces. The
    workaround removes the basis for a TSD as these failures will thus not
    appear in a branding run.

    We will remove the need for this step in the next release.

    Note: This response can apply only to use_env test 1 as only results for
    that test were provided, but this resolution will also resolve this issue
    for the other tests the submitter lists as well.
