seems like a reasonable request. especially for non-interactive calls to test

I do not see 900x900 matrix echoed even if it is used.
May be it should be a feature request not to echo variables by default and use a special command to display them on error?

It seems any failure after declaring the shared variables will echo the shared variables, even if they weren't used in that test. doesn't exactly answer your question but  I've gotten into the habit of a blank %!shared line after the last test using them so that it avoids echoing them for subsequent failures.

Here is an example:


$ cat t1.m
1;
disp("Hi!")

%!shared A
%! A = magic(5);

%!test
%! assert(1, 2);

octave:1> test t1
***** test
 assert(1, 2);
!!!!! test failed
ASSERT errors for:  assert (1,2)

  Location  |  Observed  |  Expected  |  Reason
     ()           1            2         Abs err 1 exceeds tol 0 by 1
shared variables     A =

       17   24    1    8   15
       23    5    7   14   16
        4    6   13   20   22
       10   12   19   21    3
       11   18   25    2    9



Some of the sparse-matrix-functions tests have a fairly large test matrices (in ichol() A2 is 900x900). So failing test floods the log and e.g. here
https://buildbot.octave.org/#/builders/21/builds/278/steps/7/logs/stdio breaks the Internet :)

Is there a way to suppress output of the display of (shared) variables like that?

To avoid this issue, it is important to properly handle any error messages produced by the "ichol" function in the code. This can be done by using try-catch blocks or error handling functions to catch any errors and handle them appropriately. For example, if the "ichol" function fails, you could print an error message to the console or log file, and then exit the program gracefully.

try
   L = ichol(A);
catch err
   fprintf('Error: %s\n', err.message);
   % handle the error appropriately, e.g. by exiting the program
end

If (some?) ichol test fails, it would print on stdout contents of all the matrices involved. Some of them (A2) are fairly large
(900 x 900) sparse matrix that printed on stdio 1 element per line. This is not very manageable.
