How to debug "The test run did not produce a result."?

[piterdias]

I tried running "phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1611281-TA-DARKTABLE97" where the darktable was compiled in my Workstation. The binary is in the path.

How do I debug the output below? I tried the forum but could not find a proper answer.

[Michael]

phoronix-test-suite debug-run darktable

for getting the debugging output.

Also I would suggest first of all upgrading to the latest PTS 7.8/8.0m5 as v5.2.1 is years outdated and not recommended. Upgrading to the latest PTS may very well fix your problem right away.

After debugging a bit I realized that my log file shows extra timing before the [dev_pixelpipe] string, so I added x.xxx to the results-definition.xml, like below:

<OutputTemplate>x.xxx [dev_process_export] pixel pipeline processing took #_RESULT_# secs (72.368 CPU)
