[wip] adjustments to tests/fsharpqa/run.fsharpqa.test.fsx

[smoothdeveloper]

Run.pl doesn't work yet on my machine when running this way (will check directly from command line), maybe some of the directories or files moved in master since this script came, and it may need more adjustments.

Runall.pl line 900:  Fatal Error: No such file or directory
Could not open fail list 'failures.lst'.
C:\dev\src\github.com\Microsoft\visualfsharp\tests\fsharpqa\..\..\tests\fsharpqa\testenv\bin\runall.pl terminated abnormally.

Stopped due to error

hoping I can add a test to fsharpqa soon.

• fix nuget path in script
• make run.pl work on my machine
• able to work with fsharpqa tests on my machine

Confirming running

.\tests\fsharpqa\Source>%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%.nuget\packages\strawberryperl64\5.22.2.1\Tools\perl\bin\perl.exe "C:\dev\src\github.com\Microsoft\visualfsharp\tests\fsharpqa....\tests\fsharpqa\testenv\bin\runall.pl" "-resultsroot" "C:\dev\src\github.com\Microsoft\visualfsharp\tests\fsharpqa....\tests\TestResults" "-ttags:Conformance06"

give same error:

Runall.pl line 900:  Fatal Error: No such file or directory
Could not open fail list 'failures.lst'.
C:\dev\src\github.com\Microsoft\visualfsharp\tests\fsharpqa\..\..\tests\fsharpqa\testenv\bin\runall.pl terminated abnormally.
Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at C:\dev\src\github.com\Microsoft\visualfsharp\tests\fsharpqa\..\..\tests\fsharpqa\testenv\bin\runall.pl line 1002.

so the issue I'm having are not related to using tests/fsharpqa/run.fsharpqa.test.fsx but Run.pl.

I made some fixes to this file in #6609.

The error Could not open fail list 'failures.lst' has a simple fix. Just create a blank file at tests/fsharpqa/TestResults/failures.lst. You will then be able to run the script.

@saul thanks, seeing your change to the script and also tried creating the failures.lst file, I think the script was passing wrong path to the output file, will look more.

I confirm I can run the tests locally now.
