Docker run and go test failing

[nyanshak]

Doing a docker run on the included Dockerfile shows failing tests. The same occurs upon attempting go test within /bin/sh of the docker container.

Expected: Passing tests? Actual: (docker build and run)

I believe this stems from specific files and / or executables missing from the gliderlabs/alpine:3.2 image that are expected by the tests in this package. For example bash is expected to exist as well as certain other mountpoints (/opt). I haven't done a full dive into this yet, but if this is something that you'd like to pursue, I can probably submit a PR in the next few days.

Yeah, sorry that's confusing behavior! It does run a few tests that don't pass in a Docker container. As noted in the comment in the Dockerfile, its not really suited to running in a container in the first place. I'll try and make some tests that pass in that container since that behavior would make more sense.

[nyanshak]

Would that entail simply removing tests or making the existing tests pass? If you need help with this, I can submit a pull request.

[langston-barrett]

@nyanshak That would be spectacular! Yeah, if you just want to create a new file like samples/alpine-docker.json with tests that will pass in that container, that'd be perfect. The files that are currently in samples are just examples, not really meant to necessarily pass.
