I installed eos from source on Ubuntu 18.04. The I ran

make test

I do not have nodeos actually running at the time of testing.

And I had the following errors -

39/41 Test #39: validate_dirty_db_test ...............***Failed
0.63 sec Start 40: nodeos_sanity_lr_test 40/41 Test #40: nodeos_sanity_lr_test ................***Failed 0.63 sec Start 41: nodeos_voting_lr_test 41/41 Test #41: nodeos_voting_lr_test ................***Failed 0.64 sec

73% tests passed, 11 tests failed out of 41

Label Time Summary: long_running_tests = 1.27 sec*proc (2 tests)

Total Test time (real) = 705.61 sec

The following tests FAILED: Cannot create directory
/home/trevor/eos/build/Testing/Temporary Cannot create log file:

What could be the cause. I have started mongod.

  • I've seen a lot of these errors. I would just not worry about it unless you're getting some weird errors. I don't make test my install anymore.

  • how exactly did you install EOS? did you do it as such? git clone github.com/EOSIO/eos.git; cd eos; (first time you run the next command it'll ask you to run some command, i forget what, to update your copy of the repo fully.) sudo ./eosio_build.sh; cd build; make test; Aug 3, 2018 at 18:46

I had problems getting EOS to work properly on Ubuntu 18.04. I would recommend downgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 for now if you want to work with something more stable.

However, just to be sure: Did you do the following commands in the following order?

cd /path/to/eos
./eosio_build.sh
~/opt/mongodb/bin/mongod -f ~/opt/mongodb/mongod.conf &
cd build
sudo make install
sudo make test

It seems a lot of people forget to do the sudo make install command.
