Hello 9fans,
I am trying to write a test target in an mkfile which checks a few
negative tests.
My intuition was that this would be written as
test:QV:
! command1
! command2
…
However, such a recipe always fails since mk will fail if command1 has a
non-empty exit status.
Thus I wonder: What the idiomatic way of doing this?
The best solution I have found thus far is to write:
test:QVE:
! command1 && ! command2 && …
But this makes it rather less intelligible.
Best regards,
Håkon
