[petsc-dev] How to replace floating point numbers in test outputs?

[Stefano Zampini]

I would like to overwrite floating point numbers in tests outputs. I remember in the past we could just pass REPLACE=1; it seems it is not possible with the current master.

I tried the command below (this is a test which produces different floating point values) with no success. Any suggestion on how we can do this?

$ make -f gmakefile.test test globsearch="mat*ex5_12_B" DIFF_NUMBERS=1 REPLACE=1
Using MAKEFLAGS: REPLACE=1 DIFF_NUMBERS=1 globsearch=mat*ex5_12_B
        TEST arch-debug/tests/counts/mat_tests-ex5_12_B.counts
 ok mat_tests-ex5_12_B
not ok diff-mat_tests-ex5_12_B # Error code: 1
#	42,43c42,43
#	< 0.
#	< 0.

#	42,43c42,43
