Random result in search_exact test
torognes opened this issue · comments
The search_exact test with the description --uc match orientation is correct in 5th column with H (-) gives random results. The test fails in about 1% of the times I run it.
This test produces two lines lines of output, usually with a plus in column 5 on the first line and a minus on the second line. However, occasionally the two lines are in the opposite order. I think this is due to the use of multiple threads and to the fact that the order of the results may then be non-deterministic. This is generally the case when using multiple threads with vsearch.
I think the test should be changed to check that the minus is in the 5th column on the line with s2 in the 9th column.
The tests can be simplified to avoid that problem altogether. Solved in 3a04219
