[Python-Dev] Whole bunch of test failures on OSX (original) (raw)

I'm not sure this is going to be all that helpful. If there's more I can do to help track down these problems, let me know.

Sure: you can do everything to track them down ;-)

Last night I ran

make test EXTRATESTOPTS='-R :: -uall -r' on my Mac laptop after a fresh svn up. I wasn't ready for how long that would run!

I never tried it (specifically the '-R ::' bit), but I see what you mean. Note that we have an OSX buildbot slave that passes all the trunk tests. Can you say whether

make test EXTRATESTOPTS='-uall -r'

(without '-R ::') also fails on your box? The point is to separate what's unique to your Mac box from what's unique to '-R ::'.

.. And though it didn't list testbsddb3 as a failure, it got a bunch of DBLockDeadlockError exceptions.

That one's almost a FAQ here -- all platforms see those from time to time, and have for years (especially when the box is heavily loaded).

... For testdecimal it printed:

test testdecimal failed -- errors occurred; run in verbose mode for details but when I ran testdecimal manually it ran fine.

Did your manual run also include '-R ::'? When I run test_decimal in isolation on my Windows box with that option, it also fails here, on its second run:

C:\Code\python\PCbuild>python_d -E -tt ../lib/test/regrtest.py -uall -R:: test_decimal test_decimal beginning 9 repetitions 123456789 test test_decimal failed -- errors occurred; run in verbose mode for details 1 test failed: test_decimal [29478 refs]

Same thing for testwarnings:

test testwarnings failed -- errors occurred in test.testwarnings.TestModule When I ran it manually it passed.

With or without -R::? This one also fails for me in isolation with '-R ::', and also on its second run:

C:\Code\python\PCbuild>python_d -E -tt ../lib/test/regrtest.py -uall -R:: test_warnings test_warnings beginning 9 repetitions 123456789 test test_warnings failed -- errors occurred in test.test_warnings.TestModule 1 test failed: test_warnings [15467 refs]

Does anyone else routinely use -R? If anyone does, do all the tests pass for them?
