Sometimes ~tp + or ~ts was used for formatting also when writing to files + that were not opened with the {encoding,utf8} option. If + then the argument contained unicode characters above 255, + the file descriptor would crash. This has been corrected + by the following modifications: <list> <item> Since the + 'unexpected_io' log file is used only when the test case + HTML file is not available (e.g. between test cases), + this file is now also a HTML file and as other + test_server HTML logs it is always UTF-8 encoded </item> + <item> Since it is possible to change which information + is going to which log file (with + test_server_ctrl:set_levels/3), we do not have full + control over which information is written to which file. + This means that any printout could be written to the + 'major' log file (suite.log), which was earlier encoded + as latin1. To avoid crashing this file descriptor due to + unicode strings, the 'major' log file is now also encoded + in UTF-8 (possible incopatibility). </item> <item> The + cross_cover.info file is no longer a text file which can + be read with file:consult/1, instead it is written as a + pure binary file using term_to_binary when writing and + binary_to_term when reading. </item> <item> The encoding + of the file named 'last_name', which only content is the + path to the last run.<timestamp> directory, is now + dependent on the file name mode of the VM. If file names + are expected to be unicode, then the 'last_name' file is + UTF-8 encoded, else it is latin1 encoded. </item> </list></p> + <p> + Also, ~tp has been changed back to ~p unless it is + somehow likely that the argument includes strings. It is + not obvious that this is the correct thing to do, but + some decission had to be taken...</p> + <p> + Own Id: OTP-10780</p> + </item> + <item> + <p> + Using the force_stop flag/option to interrupt a test run + caused a crash in Common Test.
