[bug] MDRIP Test passes too often...

[jayunit100]

4/18 ~ i cant reproduce this in a "non jay" environment, so maybe ill close it.

Original report:

Problem Statement

mdrip test fails at the right time, effectively in standalone mode, but when run in batch w/ a series of other, long running tests - is somehow more tolerant of individual failures.

Solution

I'm not sure, but I suspect the subshells made when mdrip is batch testing have a different tolerance for error.

Example

[jayunit100]

# hypothesis 1:

The reason is that i (originally believed, was

• test1 fail
• test2 pass

results in mdrip test passing. but that turned out to be false, still looking into this.

[jayunit100]

one possible hypothesis is that shells maybe are different depending on if you run mdrip test in batch mode, vs mdrip test X of a single markdown file w/in a shell. ..... ?

• in BASH, commands exist statuses when you have &&'s exit based on the LAST cmd that run
• in bin/SH, the semantics are opposite
