When this test is run an xterm will pop up. In that xterm the environment is exactly that in which the script "getcellnames.sh" would run. You can now debug the script to find out why it isn’t working as expected.

Misc Other Debugging Hints

+
+

Annotation scripts and config files

+

Run the "env" command to record the environment:

+

env | sort > stagename.log

+

In a config file:

+
+
megatest.config, runconfigs.config and testconfig
+
+
#{shell env | sort > stagename.log}
+
+# or
+
+[system env | sort > stagename.log}
+
+

In scripts just insert the command:

+
+
myscript.sh
+
+
env > somefile.log
+
+

Start an xterm to examine the environment, run scripts etc:

+

In a config file:

+
+
megatest.config, runconfigs.config and testconfig files
+
+
#{shell xterm}  (this blocks)
+
+or
+
+#{shell xterm &} (this is non-blocking)
+
+

Similarly in a script just call the xterm.
