Several fusion gtest unit tests fail on RHEL 7.3 about earthenterprise HOT 9 CLOSED

The tests also fail in Ubuntu.
Fusion Warning: XML file does not exist: fusion/testdata/dbroot/vector1/config.xml
Fusion Warning: Unable to read fusion/testdata/dbroot/vector1/config.xml

These failures are because of the relative path.

Actually, the path should be ../../fusion/testdata/dbroot/vector1/config.xml

Yes, the issue is that in tests we have a path relative to src.
I believe it should work if you run from src directory:
./bin/tests/dbroot_generator_tests
./bin/tests/RunAllTests.pl

@tst-ccamp: I didn't seem to get the error when running from <src>, as @andreisel mentioned. Can you clarify how this is expected to be run. (Expected vs. observed behavior.) I am a little unclear about what is being fixed.

Is RunAllTests.pl supposed to be run after an installation, or during a build? Is it run from scons? (I only see the copy command.)

from earthenterprise.

@tst-ppenev This is how you run the unit tests. You can run them from the src directory or from within NATIVE-XXX-x86_64/bin/tests. It isn't obvious that you are supposed to run it from the src directory and as @bradh pointed out on the pull request if you run the tests from the src directory it will create temporary files in your git repo which isn't a good practice. It's much better if all of it was run within the tests directory.

@tst-ccamp: Is a developer supposed to run this after building? Or after installing? Should there be a scons target for running these tests?

from earthenterprise.

I see unit tests as an after-build and before-install step.

Ideally the tests would be run on every build, but (for me) they can be a bit slow, so a separate scons target would make sense. Should that be on a new ticket?

from earthenterprise.

Yeah. You can also pass parameters to scons builds, like optimize. We could add one for running unit tests.

Guys. i am facing same issue on Ubuntu 14.04. what can i do ??

from earthenterprise.

@irteza123 As I pointed out on your other ticket, it is being worked. You can test the pull request if you're comfortable with git (see #77 for the branch), or you can wait for it to be merged.

Other than that, all help is appreciated.
