[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54718] __run_test_suite__ doesn't preserve start or working directory

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #54718 (project octave):

One more example, that also shows the requirement that the user setting
"sync_octave_directory" needs to be enabled.


__octave_link_gui_preference__ ("filesdockwidget/sync_octave_directory",
"true");
chdir ("/tmp");
__octave_link_gui_preference__ ("editor/show_dbg_file", "false");
__octave_link_gui_preference__ ("editor/show_dbg_file", "true");
chdir (get_home_directory ());
pwd ()


Again, save and run as a script file or combine into a one-liner. The 'pwd'
will show your home directory, but the current directory after returning to
the prompt will be /tmp.

This is slightly different from debug.cc-tst, in that I'm explicitly changing
the "show_dbg_file" setting to "true", where debug.cc-tst is restoring it to
its previous value, which may have been false. If the user setting is set to
false and then restored to false, this bug is also not present.
