Re: [scipion-users] multiuser mode

[Hoover , D. (NIH/C. [E] <hoo...@he...>]

Ah, you're right.  Once I run the test, other users can run it as well.

From my investigations, it seems that the tests directory should be configurable.  The files in $SCIPION_HOME have entries:

config/scipion.conf:SCIPION_TESTS = data/tests
config/templates/scipion.template:SCIPION_TESTS = data/tests

If I change these to something more generic, e.g.

config/scipion.conf:SCIPION_TESTS = ~/data/tests
config/templates/scipion.template:SCIPION_TESTS = ~/data/tests

This still fails.  Is the SCIPION_TESTS variable actually configurable?  It seems that the path is hard-coded somewhere.

One more question.  What does the --paths option do?  That didn't seem to affect anything.
