[PATCH 1/9] ktest: Avoid undef warning when WARNINGS_FILE is unset

From: Ricardo B. Marlière

Date: Sat Mar 07 2026 - 17:08:15 EST


check_buildlog() probes $warnings_file with -f even when WARNINGS_FILE is
not configured. Perl warns about the uninitialized value and adds noise to
the test log, which can hide the output we actually care about.

Check that WARNINGS_FILE is defined before testing whether the file exists.

Fixes: 4283b169abfb ("ktest: Add make_warnings_file and process full warnings")
