Misc #20568
closedLook for test.rb in the current working directory
Description
The test.rb
script used by make run
etc is explicitly located in the $srcdir
- the location of the Ruby source code.
The Building Ruby documentation recommends using out-of-source builds.
Requiring test.rb
to be located in the source directory prevents me from having multiple build directories, with a distinct test.rb
per build, instead forcing pollution of the source directory.
I propose looking for test.rb
in the current working directory. This will maintain compatibility with in-source builds, and provide extra flexibility for those of us using out-of-source builds.
There will be a small one time impact for Ruby committers, who will have to move their existing test.rb
files into their build directories.
