155 | To test the results, you need to remove the

156 | <parameter>-Dtests=false</parameter> switch, and to have <xref
|
---|
157 | linkend="mutter"/> compiled and installed with tests also.
|
---|
158 |
|
---|
159 | To run the tests, issue: <command>ninja test</command>. You must be
|
---|
160 | running an X session to run the tests. Some will fail if <xref
|
---|
161 | linkend="gdm"/> is not installed. <phrase revision="sysv">Several

164 | '/home/xry111/.config/monitors.xml': Logical monitors not

165 | adjacent"
|
---|
166 | The same thing happens in mutter but it's worked around with
|
---|
167 | HOME="". We cannot use HOME="" here or more tests will fail.
|
---|
168 | We also cannot tell the users to remove monitors.xml because
|
---|
169 | doing so will purge their monitor settings. Maybe we can
|
---|
170 | use bwrap to run the test with an empty tmpfs mounted on $HOME
|
---|
171 | in a separate namespace, but it's too overkill IMO.
|
---|
172 | DO NOT REMOVE unless you've tested with a "complex multi-monitor

---|
173 | configuration" (with mixed scaling settings and "strange"
|
---|
174 | positions of monitors). -->

176 | fail with some multi-monitor configurations.
