Bug 68564 – prepare-ChangeLog does not detected added LayoutTests when run from the WebCore directory

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Julien Chaffraix]

If you add prepare-ChangeLog in your path, add a couple of new LayoutTests, modify WebCore and run it from Sources/WebCore, then you get:

        No new tests. (OOPS!)

whereas you should get the newly added tests here.

If the fix for this is to svn stat LayoutTests, I would rather this not be fixed.  I use calling prepare-ChangeLog in WebCore as an optimization against running svn in LayoutTests.

Good point, I just reported the bug as I thought it would be neat to have (especially since that makes the CL lie in this case).

Wouldn't `prepare-ChangeLog Sources/WebCore` from the root still give you the same behavior or is there something I missed?

Closing WontFix, per comment #2. It's also useful feature of prepare-ChangeLog on git and an oversight on my side to try to change that.
