[Lazarus] Lazarus IDE 'testall' program

[Aruna Hewapathirane]

Hello Everyone,

I recently came across this in the Free Pascal and Lazarus Wiki.

"Try running the 'testall' program to see a menu of the available

The testall.lpi works fine under Windows but not so well under Linux.  I
got multiple errors in Linux (Debian).
I asked for help on the Lazarus Forum and the conversation history is here
<https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,61327.0.html>.

I wanted to make things work under Linux and thought let me clone the git
repo and see what I may be able to do.

I found one repository on Gitlab:
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/tree/main/examples

And another repository on Sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/p/lazarus/laz.git/ci/main/tree/examples/

And now comes the interesting part, neither repository has a file called
"testall" which was very confusing to me.
So I checked and then double-checked under the examples folder in both
repositories and found nothing again.

Does anyone know why "testall" is not there in both Lazarus repositories?
And where is the repo that contains
"testall" please? And which repo do I use when I want to submit a patch or
fix?

Thanks - Aruna
