That depends on the configuration of the smoke.

During the configuration the question is asked:

'Use harness only (skip TEST)?'

If you answer n then ./TEST is run and if there is a failure then  
./harness is run.
Smokes that are configured like this and run a blead smoke (with  
Test::Smoke 1.33) will show FAIL(X) and the failures won't be visible.  
(assuming there was a failure).

If you answer y then only ./harness is run.
Smokes that are configured like this and run a blead smoke (with  
Test::Smoke 1.33) will show PASS-so-far and the failures won't be  
visible. (assuming there was a failure).


Everyone running a blead smoke should upgrade Test::Smoke.

Kind regards,

Bram
