make: *** [test] Error 1

Work around is to put the pyenv in a non-encrypted dir, but just wanted to put this in as an issue as there might be a better way to handle the issue.

[blueyed]

The problem with the test failure appears to be that the versions are not split correctly.

They should be touched one by one, not as a whole.

How did you run the tests?

[blueyed]

And what shell are you using?

[blueyed]

AFAIK bats should use bash. Do you have symlinked this to zsh or something like that?

[sigkill]

Using bash on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - I can re-run with more output.

I can confirm that as soon as I moved the directory / complete git clone of this project out of my encrypted home dir I was able to run make successfully under the same shell.

What about the user running it in the user's dir?
Same error? (with "touch in sorting Python versions")?

[yyuu]

Realistically it is not possible to support all the filesystem. Please use filesystem which supports longer path name.
