stdlib-sourcelinks-test is failing some of the time on PRs opened against release-3.0.1 branch

[smarter]

See #12873 and #12845 which both failed with:

Error: Test dotty.tools.scaladoc.sourcelinks.RemoteLinksTest.runTest failed: Expected to find Predef at scala/[email protected]/src/library/scala/Predef.scala at line 96, took 3.607 sec

I'll fix it tomorrow ASAP.

However, problem with positions of/in Predef exists for a long time and we should investigate it deeper to find the root cause.

[odersky]

It's probably because Predef is not a regular file but is patched.

[BarkingBad]

Could you elaborate on how is it patched? I would like to resolve this issue since it came over too many times

[BarkingBad]

@smarter I think the PRs weren't rebased, there is PR merged by Krzysztof that disables Predef from testing, and I see that CI on master succeedes. For now I would leave it as a work around and will look into positions themselves to fix them in the near future.

[smarter]

This issue is about the release-3.0.1 branch, the PR you linked to needs to be backported to that branch.

Backported, closing this one.
