[IntelMQ-dev] Odd intelmqdump testing errors

[Mika Silander]

Hi Sebastian,

 Thanks for the hint. Apparently the removal of existing dump files helped and I was left with test failures of mostly my own components. The fact that an existing installation's dump files may interfere with building the deb package, I take this as an indirect suggestion to always build the package in a vanilla system or rely on a separate CI/CD environment, right?

Br, Mika

Dear Mika,

Either that or it's much simpler.

When you call intelmqdump, you get a list of bots/dump files, formatted 
as a table with some columns. Could there be some dumps lying around in 
the system locally, that the test picks up? That would explain why the 
columns are so wide.

For debugging you could also look a the complete value of the `output` 
variable in that test case.

If it's not that, then it could be a change in the library composing the 
table, but as your system is not brand-new, I consider this less likely.

best regards
Sebastian
