  2. Apply the following small patch to run only the record-t.bal test file.
    diff --git a/compiler/tests/testSuite.bal b/compiler/tests/testSuite.bal
    index 73a088aa..7468a12b 100644
    --- a/compiler/tests/testSuite.bal

             if ext != ".bal" {
                 continue;

             int? dash = base.lastIndexOf("-");
             test:assertTrue(dash is int, "test file name must be in <name>-<kind>.bal format");
             string testKind = base.substring(1 + <int>dash);

  • Also notice, variables that are listed already; pos, neg, and d, only the name is showing. Cannot expand those values and see what's inside.

Apparently, this is not specific to this scenario. Hence, extracted to a separate issue #42848
