The unit test stage failed on the first CI run with
Cannot detect source of 'xCAT-test/unit/*.t'
Files=0, Tests=0
Result: NOTESTS
the glob reached prove unexpanded because it matched nothing. The source
tree is gone by the time the tests run: build-ubunturepo sets
local_core_repo_path="$curdir/../../xcat-core"
and rm -rf's it before creating the apt repository there. GitHub checks
out into work/<repo>/<repo>, so for /home/runner/work/xcat-core/xcat-core
that path resolves to the checkout's own parent and the build wipes the
checkout, leaving an empty directory of the same name behind. The cd
still succeeds, which is why prove was handed a literal glob rather than
failing outright. This is also why every testcase that predates this
change proves /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/unit: after the build
the installed copy is the only one left.
Copy the checkout aside in preserve_source_tree() before the build and
prove that copy, so FindBin still resolves to a real source tree. Switch
to `prove -r xCAT-test/unit` as well, so a missing directory fails loudly
instead of silently degrading to a no-op the way an unmatched glob does.
Reproduced and verified by replaying the build under GitHub's directory
layout: the checkout drops to 0 test files, the preserved copy keeps all
47 and proves clean.

xCAT
xCAT is a toolkit for deployment and administration of clusters of all sizes.
The xCAT sunset was only a quick eclipse
Dear xCAT Community,
The xCAT sunset has changed course. VersatusHPC has been invited to join the xCAT Consortium, and future development will move toward direct upstream contributions coordinated with the Consortium and its existing member companies.
That matters most for Enterprise Linux 10 (EL10). EL10 support is coming to xCAT, restoring a future operating-system path for sites that still rely on xCAT. This is an important change from the previous sunset guidance, where the lack of an EL10 path was one of the strongest reasons to move away from xCAT.
The xCAT Consortium continues to recommend Confluent as the long-term successor to xCAT, and that remains the Consortium position. Users planning new cluster-management deployments should evaluate Confluent and its xCAT comparison documentation.
At the same time, xCAT is no longer sunsetted. The Consortium and participating companies will continue updating xCAT while there is community and user demand for it.
In summary:
- xCAT development is continuing upstream through the Consortium and participating companies.
- Enterprise Linux 10 support is coming.
- Confluent remains the Consortium-recommended successor and migration path.
- xCAT updates will continue while there is community and user demand.
We want to thank the xCAT Consortium and community for keeping this project moving. The sun went behind the moon for a moment, but xCAT is still here.
For more information on Confluent and how to get started, please visit the Confluent: Project Page, Documentation or Confluent vs xCAT comparison.
With thanks,
The xCAT Consortium
