Error running runtests.py

Post by abokhanc » Wed Oct 22, 2014 9:20 pm

Hi all,

When i issue: . runtests.py i get the following error:

Code: Select all

[stud2@feynman abinit-test]$ . runtests.py
-bash: This script executes the ABINIT suite of automatic tests.: command not found
import: unable to open X server `'.
import: unable to open X server `'.
import: unable to open X server `'.
-bash: from: command not found
-bash: from: command not found
-bash: from: command not found
-bash: from: command not found
-bash: /home/stud2/abinit-7.8.2-ser/share/abinit-test/runtests.py: line 20: syntax error near unexpected token `('
-bash: /home/stud2/abinit-7.8.2-ser/share/abinit-test/runtests.py: line 20: `pack_dir, x = os.path.split(absp(__file__))'


What am I missing? And how do i indicate which tests to run? I'm trying to run some of the libxc tests to see if it was compiled properly.

Thank you

By typing ". runtests.py", you're asking the shell to read runtests.py and make the variable definitions it finds there available to your current session. Since runtests.py is a Python script, the shell cannot do anything but complain.

You probably want to run the following command instead:

Code: Select all

./runtests.py

Thank you

I had to play around with the permissions, because it didn't let me run the script that way in a first place. But it all works now.
