Is that a bug that it says 'TESTING PASSED' even though it failed to start Tor? Is the permission denied error because I need to be root to run the tests? If so, how to change the tests so that being root isn't necessary?
Yea, saying 'PASSED' rather than 'FAILED' would be a bug.
No, the tests definitely don't need to be ran as root. Did you clone stem as root? It expects to be able to make a data directory within the test directory.
It looks like the data directory was created as expected: $ find test/data/ test/data/ test/data/log test/data/torrc Unfortunately ./run_tests.py --help isn't telling me about e.g. a verbosity level option to help give more of a clue as to what is going wrong :-( Any more ideas? -- Simon
