The unicode tests would often fail when tested in parallel because
we were not exporting to unique file names. From what I understand,
a variant similar to the following race condition occurred:
1. Thread A exports to file blah.pdf.
2. Thread B exports to file blah.pdf.
3. Thread A confirms file blah.pdf exists.
4. Thread A deletes exported file blah.pdf to clean up.
5. Thread B fails to find file blah.pdf and reports a failure.
Runs the compare via the command line, and then compares the output to the
expected result. Required adding a script to do the comparison, so that
the timestamps on changes in the lyx file are ignored.
The new JSS cls has been failing on an updated TeX Live 2020 for a
while, both with the template they provide and with LyX's template.
I expect this will be fixed eventually but for now it's best to
invert it as a "texissue".
With an updated TeX Live 2020 an assertion is given. The assertion
was reported on the LuaTeX ML [1], and will be converted into the
following error as of LuaTeX svn commit r7385:
! the word doesn't start with a character
The error could likely be worked around with a change to the
document but since the document compiles without error with XeTeX I
did not change anything since I do not understand the issue.

Export to all formats seems to work well after removing the "ps2pdf"
option to the hyperref package.
Accordingly we uninvert the tests for the other formats. All ctests
pass on an updated TeX Live 2020.
This is mostly for shapepar support, in a rare situation. Fixing this would create a lot of special cases in output_docbook.cpp, i.e. fixing the issue (which will barely happen in real life) would make maintenance much harder.
The debug mode is set with the environment LYX_DEBUG_LATEX
$ export LYX_DEBUG_LATEX=1
The downside: From time to time the need to remove the superfluous dirs
$ cd build-dir
$ find autotests/out-home -name AbC_\* | xargs rm -rf
More generally, ensures that paragraphs in abstracts do not have something else configured.
A major problem in making the layout more useful is that article titles are not supposed to be in TOC.
Compilation of our Seminar example file fails on updated TL20. The
maintainer of "Seminar" is not planning to fix the core issue and
states the following (in a private email with permission to quote):
it is a problem with the new hook management of the current latex.ltx
seminar is a quite old package and there is no reason to use it with a
new LaTeX format. It won't be fixed, so the usual way is to use the
package latexrealease to get the old hook management.
This commit adds a note to the example files explaining the
workaround of exporting to a .tex file and prepending the following
line:
\RequirePackage[2020-02-02]{latexrelease}
We now invert the relevant tests.
