combotest and the test states

[Marganne, Etienne]

Hi all,

 

This morning I have been testing combined test to try to mark as unreachable
a list of hosts. From the tests I deduced the following statements:

 

You can not overwrite already evaluated tests with combined containing their
occurency.

 

Explanation:

 

emarganne.conn = bigrouter.conn && emarganne.conn

 

do not work.

 

Indeed it seams that the token "emarganne.conn" has to be unique. If you use
it in the logic expression its value will be -1 because the expression
analyzer links "emarganne.conn" to the one defined as the combo test not the
one that has been defined in the bb-hosts file. So you can not create link
the connectivity of a hosts to one of the other directly this way. I am
right or is there any workaround ?
