Description Guillaume Desmottes 2017-01-31 13:08:22 UTC 
"mesontest -C build --suite  gst-devtools  validate/launcher_tests" is failing when called outside of the 'uninstalled' shell:

ERROR 14:06:24 gstvalidatetestmanager validate init: None not found (subprojects/gst-devtools/validate/launcher/apps/gstvalidate.py:568)

The problem is here:
GST_VALIDATE_COMMAND = which("gst-validate-1.0", options.validate_tools_path)

which() doesn't find gst-validate-1.0 in $PATH so None is returned.

Should ./tests/launcher_tests/meson.build update $PATH?

Sounds like the solution yes.

validate: meson: fix --validate-tools-path argument

The path passed to --validate-tools-path was wrong when building using
gst-build, preventing the launcher to find the validate tools.
