[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#410070: octave2.9: test.m does not pick up file in current working directory

Package: octave2.9
Version: 2.9.9-7
Severity: important
Tags: pending

The current version of test.m in Octave 2.9 does not pick up the file in the
current working directory, if there's a similarly named file later in Octave's
loadpath:

octave2.9:1> pwd
ans = /home/weber/audio

octave2.9:2> help wavwrite.m
wavwrite.m is the file ./wavwrite.m

octave2.9:3> test ("wavwrite.m")
????? /usr/share/octave/2.9.9/m/audio/wavwrite.m has no tests available

This has been fixed in upstream's CVS.

Severity important, as this makes developing unit tests for Octave itself in a
local directory difficult.
