C02cond.ztst failure: -N

C02cond.ztst failure: -N

[Adam Spiers]

With latest CVS:

./C02cond.ztst: starting.
Test ./C02cond.ztst failed: bad status 1, expected 0 from:
  sleep 1
  cat unmodified
  touch newnewnew
  if [[ $OSTYPE == "cygwin" ]]; then
    print -u8 "Warning: not testing [[ -N file ]] (not supported on Cygwin)"
    true
  else
    [[ -N newnewnew && ! -N unmodified ]]
  fi
Was testing: -N cond
./C02cond.ztst: test failed.

Could this be because the compile is happening on an NFS-mounted
drive?

Yes, that's a very likely cause.

In that case, would it be worth adding a check and skipping the test
when appropriate?  Or, if that's not easily done in a portable
fashion, maybe it's worth adding a "This test might fail" type of
message?

We discussed that but I don't think anybody came up with a good test for
whether the directory is NFS mounted.

Sure.  In fact, all the tests involving the "newnewnew" file can fail if
the clock on the NFS server is out of sync with the local clock by even
a few seconds.
