[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41215] Request for a "pkg test" feature

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #41215 (project octave):

I've been polishing this cset a little, it works OK then, but I found the
results a bit disappointing w.r.t. layout and the order in which tests are
reported.
I tweaked the cset so that .cc-tst files in the archdependent subdir are also
executed (see bug #41298); that part wasn't there yet in the previous cset
:-)

I see this:
* It looks like all tests are thrown together on a heap and reported in random
order, even for just one package with binary and m.file functions. What I
would rather see is that tests are run package after package, with .m-file and
.cc-tst file separated.
* The full paths of the tested function files / test files are echoed rather
than just the function file name, which severely clobbers up the on-screen
display.
* __run_test_suite__.m adds an fntests.log file in the current directory that
may not be wanted.

Both of these seem to be due to how __run_test_suite__.m seems to work. I also
tried with patched oruntests.m (see bug #41298) but got just a little bit
further.

See attached diff fo how far I got.
