I got a question, when I running the ./eevm_tests. it shows ERROR: test case THREW exception: Must set path to test cases in TEST_DIR environment variable.
Actually, I ran "export" also set the export in the /etc/profile

The hello_world/sum all works well, only the eevm_tests. But the thing is I already set the env.

Thanks.

sudo uses a different environment. This test doesn't need sudo privileges, so either of the following should work:

TEST_DIR=[/path/to/test_cases] ./eevm_tests

export TEST_DIR=[/path/to/test_cases]
./eevm_tests

If you need to use sudo for some other reason, then sudo -E ./eevm_tests should preserve the existing environment variables.

To confirm the correct TEST_DIR path, run ctest -VV. This should run the tests, and will also print the environment variables used if you wish to run them manually/individually.
