From e3da55df8af4a568a63a667782f269222e4490fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alois Wohlschlager Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2024 11:59:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tests/libcmd: set HOME to a temporary directory The libcmd unit test creates files (more specifically, the fetcher cache) in its home directory. In the single-user sandbox, this leads to the creation of /homeless-shelter, since this is the default HOME and the root is writable. Unfortunately, this conflicts with the assumption of the functional tests that this directory does not exist. Use a different home directory to prevent these test failures, and thus restore the ability to build inside the single-user sandbox.
