Changing name of test affects whether it passes or fails

Hi,

When I use the example test file, delete my .build folder, delete every other folder in TESTS and run it with -n test-name-here a particular test fails unless its file name is EXACTLY the same as the example.

In this case if I rename the sample-test folder to sample-test2 run

mbed test -n tests-sample-test-group-sample-test2 -t GCC_ARM -m LPC1768

it fails with a TIMEOUT error and doesn't display a list of the tests in the file

If I put the folder name back and run

-n tests-sample-test-group-sample-test -t GCC_ARM -m LPC1768

it succeeds in showing the two tests, OK and FAIL, but more importantly it actually shows a list of the tests in the file.

Consider below terminal output shasum of build file is same, there is no logical reason why anything different should happen

Kyles-MacBook-Pro:sample-test-group kvanb$ shasum sample-test/sample-test.bin
63aed24d0793403122a82310ab179b17cc64461b  sample-test/sample-test.bin
Kyles-MacBook-Pro:sample-test-group kvanb$ shasum sample-test2/sample-test2.bin
63aed24d0793403122a82310ab179b17cc64461b  sample-test2/sample-test2.bin

I have power cycled the device multiple times

I think the mbed device ran out of space and that particular file name was working because the .bin file was already on the device, along with a LOT of other bin files. Any other file names were failing perhaps because the copy failed? Should this be a bug, perhaps it should report with a copy failed error message? Now that I have cleared out the lot of bin files it's working perfectly again with any file name

Was a bug ever filed on this? I ran into this same problem today and spent many hours puzzling over it until I cam across this thread. Deleting all the *.bin's on the MBED device (LPC1768) resolved the problem.

No I never filed a bug for it sorry
