Subject: [PATCH 1/2] selftests: Fix runner.sh busybox support
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:03:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416-selftest-fix-readlink-e-v1-1-94e4cabbdec4@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260416-selftest-fix-readlink-e-v1-0-94e4cabbdec4@kernel.org>
Commit 2964f6b816c2 ("selftests: Use ktap helpers for runner.sh") added an
import of ktap_helper.sh to runner.sh in order to standardise on these for
output formatting. Rather than build on the existing requirement for the
user to supply BASE_DIR to find the helpers it uses some magic which
features a use of "readlink -e". Unfortunately the -e option is a GNU
extension and is not available in at least busybox, meaning that runner.sh
starts failing:
./run_kselftest.sh: 5: ./kselftest/runner.sh: Bad substitution
./run_kselftest.sh: 5: .: cannot open ./ktap_helpers.sh: No such file
Fix this by using the already required BASE_DIR to locate the helper
library.
Fixes: 2964f6b816c2 ("selftests: Use ktap helpers for runner.sh")
