[quickbook] All tests failing in Trunk?

All the quickbook tests seem to currently be failing in Trunk, this appears to be related to some change in Boost.Build as the Jamfile logic used to work I believe? John.

Maybe it's related to the recent fixes to return code handling and testing for test? -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se

Is it clearly not a quickbook bug? I've made a few changes over the last week. If you're using cygwin, I updated the directory handling code to use the 1.7 api which is a possible culprit. It looks like I forgot to update list-test.gold last night. I'll do that this evening. Daniel

No it's the Jamfile not working I believe. I have an ulterior motive here: I copied the quickbook testing logic for another tool that's in the sandbox and when I recently came back to it I found it was no longer working... so I thought I would just copy the quickbook logic again... only to find that it wasn't working either :-( Cheers, John.

There seems to be a problem with msvc.jam, I think it's treating the test targets as executables.. Try building with 'bjam debug-symbols=off'. If that works then the culprit is the change in: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/55154 https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/55173 Daniel

Confirmed, works in release mode, but not in debug. Any ideas? Thanks, John.
