Sorry for being stoopid, but how is one supposed to run the tests? :)

I tried, in my build:

matevz@black build> make test 
Running tests...
Test project /home/matevz/xrd-blk/build
No tests were found!!!

and then, from the source directory

matevz@black xrootd> ctest -VV -S test.cmake
.... builds the full thing ...
[100%] Built target xrdreplay
Command exited with the value: 0
MakeCommand:/usr/bin/cmake --build . --config "RelWithDebInfo"

@osschar You are likely missing dependencies to run the tests (see summary at configuration step). If you are on an RPM-based distro, try dnf builddep -y xrootd.spec at the top directory of the repository to install the missing deps. For server tests, you should not run as the root user. If you want to run in docker, you can cd docker/ && xrd-docker build alpine, for example.

Thank you @amadio, this helped! :)

Thank you @bbockelm! If you both agree, I'll cherry-pick this and put it on my "fix-2450" branch along with improvements to to the unit test, as requested by @amadio.

A cherry-pick sounds good! As @amadio mentions, you'll probably want to flesh out the test to check the actual functionality of the class beyond "it doesn't crash".

(Closing for now since it'll be in the other branch)
