Hello Forum:

I am looking for a GAP way to perform GAP package installation tests with reproducible output
(as in Test files, section 7.9 in the Reference Manual): TestPackage is certainly what
I am looking for. Unfortunately, TestPackage outputs arbitrary messages (or not) when
the tests succeed, something as:

	GRAPE package: testall.tst
	GAP4stones: 6

where the stones number is arbitrary (as CPU time can be) ---
and sometime, there is no message at all. In practice, I place the TestPackage
in a Test file (see above) and I launch something as

	echo "QUIT_GAP(Test(\"d/t/makecheck.tst\"));" | gap -A -q -T

Is there a way to silence TestPackage in case of success ?

For now, I use TestDirectory :

	 echo "QUIT_GAP(TestDirectory(\"d/t\"));" | gap -A -q -T

which seems to be blind to these messages.

Thanks,
Jerome
