Description Achim Bohnet 2014-01-15 14:05:28 UTC

Scarlett Clark <scarlett@scarlettgatelyclark.com> reported on kubuntu-devel:

1/2 Test #2: ki18n-ktranscripttest ............***Failed    0.00 sec
********* Start testing of KTranscriptTest *********
Config: Using QtTest library 5.2.0, Qt 5.2.0
FAIL!  : KTranscriptTest::initTestCase() '!pluginPath.isEmpty()' returned 
FALSE. ()
   Loc: [../../autotests/ktranscripttest.cpp(59)]
PASS   : KTranscriptTest::cleanupTestCase()
Totals: 1 passed, 1 failed, 0 skipped

And after spending more time than I would like to admit, I have found that it 
is not possible for it to pass considering ki18n package is the one that 
provides ktranscript.so .... of course it does not exist. Once I ran the 
debuild skipping tests and installed the resulting package, the tests passed. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove the installed version of ktranscript.so
2. build from source
3. run the tests
Actual Results:  
KTranscriptTest::initTestCase fails

Expected Results:  
KTranscriptTest::initTestCase should succeed :-)
