make test failed

[PaulPuschmann]

I followed your instruction to install all requirements and build FwAnalyzer.

after that I tried to run the test:
make test (I have previously performed make testsetup)

then the following error occurs

I hope you can help me with my error :)

Do you have diff on your $PATH? If not, could you please try installing diffutils?

[Grazfather]

That shouldn't be it. It looks like it's because you're using sudo. Have you tried running without it?

[PaulPuschmann]

unfortunately
make testsetup &
make test
don't work without sudo

When I try to start a normal analysis, an error also occurs, which I traced back to the same origin as the test script error

Error in analysis
The problem is that in analyzer.go the fsparser is called with "/", which the parser cannot handle

fi, err := a.fsparser.GetFileInfo("/") <-- analyzer.go in ckeckRoot() line 188

if I replace "/" with something like "/home/user/..." the parser has no problem

Error in "make test"
err = g.CheckFile(&fi, "/") <-- filecmp_test.go line 102

this problem occurs not only in these two examples, but everywhere where fsparser is called with "/".

It's because your path isn't being setup correctly. You can't make testsetup because you had previously run it as root. Delete and reclone the repo or chown everything to your main user, then run the instructions again.

I completely rebuilt the repo and this time without using sudo.
However, the same error occurs again...

fi, err := d.GetFileInfo("/testlink") line 88 in dirparser_test.go - TestFetFileInfo()

[PaulPuschmann]

the problem here is that the testlink is not set.
you can create this link yourself with the command:

ln -s testdir/ testlink
