The cmp in ExecStartPost= was actually failing – ExecStartPost= has the same StandardOutput as the rest of the service, so the output file is truncated before cmp can compare it with the expected output – but the test still passed because test_exec_standardoutput_truncate() calls test(), which only checks the main result, rather than test_service(), which checks the result of the whole service. Fix the test by merging the ExecStartPost= into the ExecStart= – the cmp has to be part of the same command line as the cat so that the file is not truncated between the two processes.
