Subject: oe-selftest: devtool: use stat for reading user/group names in ide-sdk tests
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3cec69c2632846caa0175f8ae0d4f29308d49d1e;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core.git

oe-selftest: devtool: use stat for reading user/group names in ide-sdk tests

On some systems, ls truncates long user and group names, which causes the
ownership check to fail. For example:

AssertionError: Regex didn't match:
  '^-.+ cmake-example cmake-example .+ /etc/cmake\\-example\\.conf$' not found in
  '-rw-r--r--    1 cmake-ex cmake-ex        83 Mar  9  2018 /etc/cmake-example.conf'

Use "stat -c '%U %G'" instead, which always returns the full user and group
names regardless of terminal width or system configuration.
