Fix error messages for missing dependencies, allow test suite to run on MacOS by supporting
md5
Dependency Checks
There were some checks like this:
However,
command -v
exits with an error if the command does not exist. This results in the nice error message not being shown.The solution is to avoid the assignment of the variable erroring and instead relying on the executability check to make sure we have the right thing
md5
compatibilityThe test script depends on
md5sum
which is not available on MacOS. Thus, tests would fail at the start when run on MacOS.MacOS has a tool called
md5
, which when called with the-r
flag which reverses the format of the output.
