Need for improving `icub-tests` installation #57

Open pattacini opened 3 years ago

pattacini commented 3 years ago

Installing the project via robotology-superbuild made evident how it's not straightforward to launch a test.

Take this docker recipe as an example, where the following points could be improved:

Need for extending LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This should not be necessary since https://github.com/robotology/robotology-superbuild/pull/393 . In any case, a related issue is https://github.com/robotology/robot-testing-framework/issues/109 (earlier discussion: https://github.com/robotology/robotology-superbuild/issues/95).

The suites are not installed

Also this should be handled by setup.sh, even if it would be indeed better if those files were installed, so that we could have the icub-tests work correctly even without assuming the existince of the source directory, as in the case of conda packages.

We need to expose plugins here not just lib/rtf. However, I could run further tests.

You are right, I was confused!

maybe the setup.sh can set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing where the icub-tests plugins are installed?

I'm afraid they're not even installed.

pattacini commented 3 years ago

My fault, the plugins are correctly installed in lib so they're exposed via setup.sh. I didn't find the file .so within /usr/local/lib in the first place.

What's left are the suites.
