Subject: Request for Assist on Limits for Tests
Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2018 15:57:59 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000d01d387fa$36a65300$a3f2f900$@nexbridge.com> (raw)

Hi All,

I'm looking for a proper (i.e. not sneaky) way to detect the platform I am
on during testing so that some tests can be modified/skipped other than
using the standard set of dependencies. In particular, the maximum path on
current NonStop platforms is 8-bit 2048 bytes. It appears that there are
some tests - at least from my preliminary "guessing" - that are beyond that
limit once all of the path segments are put together. I would rather have
something in git that specifies a path size limit so nothing exceeds it, but
that may be wishing.

Thanks in advance,
Randall
