Contribution description
tests/sys/shell
currently per default usessocat
as terminal, according to the comment to avoid having extra characters put into the IO by the terminal program. But that's exactly whatmake cleanterm
is for, which is already used per default by the python testrunner.I encountered issues with
socat
for this test (newlines not properly matched against) on boards that useusb_cdc_acm
as stdio, while the approach withcleanterm
works as expected.Testing procedure
Run the test with some boards using
make -C tests/sys/shell BOARD=xxx flash test
. Successfully tested withnative

The commit cdfece6 that introduced the change was merged one and a half months before the introduction of the
cleanterm
target in #12107
