Test suite should fail, if module load/unload is not honoured across shells?

[fgeorgatos]

I know it's unusual for someone to complain that ... all tests passed from the test suite (!),
however this is what I'm about to do over here - because it shouldn't ;-)

basically, the following situation exists on a system which passed all the test suite flawlessly:
(the way I see it, this is a somewhat crippled Lmod setup and it should be visible in some way)

[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ 
[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ml

Currently Loaded Modules:
  1) HPCBIOS/2016q2   2) sge

[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ml -sge
[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ml

Currently Loaded Modules:
  1) HPCBIOS/2016q2

[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ bash
[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ml

Currently Loaded Modules:
  1) HPCBIOS/2016q2   2) sge

[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ exit
exit
[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ml

Currently Loaded Modules:
  1) HPCBIOS/2016q2

[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$

similarly, the following could be worthy of a test case as well:

[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ln -s /usr/share/lmod/lmod/modulefiles/Core/ /tmp/
[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ module use /tmp/Core
[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ml av

--------------------------------------------------------------------- /tmp/Core ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   lmod/6.4.4    settarg/6.4.4

----------------------------------------------------------------- /etc/modulefiles ------------------------------------------------------------------
   HPCBIOS/2016q2 (L)    sge

  Where:
   L:  Module is loaded

Use "module spider" to find all possible modules.
Use "module keyword key1 key2 ..." to search for all possible modules matching any of the "keys".

[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ bash
[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ml av

--------------------------------------------------------------------- /tmp/Core ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   lmod/6.4.4    settarg/6.4.4

----------------------------------------------------------------- /etc/modulefiles ------------------------------------------------------------------
   HPCBIOS/2016q2 (L)    sge (L)

  Where:
   L:  Module is loaded

Use "module spider" to find all possible modules.
Use "module keyword key1 key2 ..." to search for all possible modules matching any of the "keys".

[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ml settarg
[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ml

Currently Loaded Modules:
  1) HPCBIOS/2016q2   2) sge   3) settarg/6.4.4

[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ bash
[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$ ml

Currently Loaded Modules:
  1) HPCBIOS/2016q2   2) sge

[fgeorgatos@demo-ext Lmod]$

This is a site installation problem and not an Lmod problem. I am closing this.
