When completing the tutorial for an out-of-tree-module, the qa tests never pass. The errors received look like the following when running the ctest -V command: test 2 Start 2: qa\_square\_ff 2: Test command: /bin/sh “/home/sdr/Tutorials/gr-howto/build/python/qa\_square\_ff\_test.sh” 2: Test timeout computed to be: 9.99988e+06 2: Traceback (most recent call last): 2: File “/home/sdr/Tutorials/gr-howto/python/qa\_square\_ff.py”, line 22, in 2: import howto\_swig as howto 2: File “/home/sdr/Tutorials/gr-howto/build/swig/howto\_swig.py”, line 314, in 2: square\_ff = square\_ff.make; 2: NameError: name ‘square\_ff’ is not defined 2/2 Test #2: qa\_square\_ff …\*\*\*Failed 0.18 sec Is my qa code in the wrong place? I followed the tutorial and updated python/qa\_square\_ff.py Thanks ---

Brooke, you’ll have to be more specific. Were you creating a Python block? A C++ block? Which version do you have installed?

My guess is you’re completing tutorial 1 (C++ blocks). Read [http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/OutOfTreeModules#Test-Driven-Programming](http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/OutOfTreeModules#Test-Driven-Programming) again, and compare your QA codes with those given there. > 2: NameError: name ‘square\_ff’ is not defined > 2/2 Test #2: qa\_square\_ff …\*\*\*Failed 0.18 sec > > Is my qa code in the wrong place? I followed the tutorial and updated python/ > qa\_square\_ff.py Probably just your QA code. See above.

In howto\_swig.py file, the definition of square\_ff is after it is used. If You move this definition up, tests will pass. Another mystery for me is, why in a Makefile generated by cmake, the “test” target is not dependent on target “all” (or something that will cause compilation if code is changed) ? Regards, Marek.
