Re: [gnome-desktop-testing] Missing path when running ./bin/desktop-testing

[Ara Pulido <ara ubuntu com>]

Indeed this is an issue.

Another approach has been implemented in an ubuntu-desktop-testing
branch by Markus Korn [1] that uses buildout to create a running
environment in the same folder.

Which solution do you think it is best?

Cheers,
Ara.
