When running the tests in CI, we're piping the output of
go test
into gotestfmt to get prettier output. This works becausegotestfmt
will return a non-zero exit code when there are test failures.However when there are other failures, e.g. compilation of the tests failed,
gotestfmt
will have a 0 exit code.go test
wouldn't, but because we're piping the results through, the shell swallows that unless we're setting the pipefail option.Set up the pipefail option here, so tests aren't accidentally green when compilation fails.
/cc @thomas11 who noticed the tests were passing even though compilation failed in #1595
