Issue #19142 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada). I think that `test` needs `install` only when "preloadenv" and `--enable-load-relative` can't work. At least `test-all` can run as `/install/bin/ruby test/runner.rb`, I think. ---------------------------------------- Misc #19142: Run test suites against 'install', based on ENV variable? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19142#change-100270 * Author: MSP-Greg (Greg L) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Some time ago I believe there was discussion about: ``` make make test make install ``` vs ``` make make install make test ``` Some people preferred to not have to run install before test (disk space, time, etc). Might an environment variable like `RUBY_TEST_FROM_INSTALL` or `RUBY_TEST_FROM_PATH` be added that would trigger the test suite to test against the Ruby install folder or the Ruby in PATH? I believe a handful of files in the test system would need changes, as they load files using `require_relative`... I think spec/mspec is already setup to do so. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
