The Python 3.x test suite produces a new regression on macOS 10.13 under the new APFS filesystem when executing the test_undecodable_filename() test from Lib/test/test_httpservers.py. The error appears as... ====================================================================== ERROR: test_undecodable_filename (test.test_httpservers.SimpleHTTPServerTestCase) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/howarth/Python-3.6.2/Lib/test/support/__init__.py", line 601, in wrapper return func(*args, **kw) File "/Users/howarth/Python-3.6.2/Lib/test/test_httpservers.py", line 380, in test_undecodable_filename with open(os.path.join(self.tempdir, filename), 'wb') as f: OSError: [Errno 92] Illegal byte sequence: '/var/folders/7g/1x2rsy3j40n1pydq931hzlkm0000gn/T/tmpomp1r36b/@test_58317_tmp\udce7w\udcf0.txt' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 59 tests in 3.207s See https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/APFS_Guide/FAQ/FAQ.html """ APFS accepts only valid UTF-8 encoded filenames for creation, and preserves both case and normalization of the filename on disk in all variants.. Some differences between how APFS and HFS+ handle filenames include the following: ... • APFS doesn’t allow files to be created with filenames that contain unassigned codepoints in the Unicode 9.0 standard, whereas HFS+ does.

More background: APFS became available in macOS 10.12 although not used by default. But with the current macOS 10.13 (High Sierra), root file systems on certain devices, such as SSDs, are automatically migrated from HFS+ to APFS so are much more likely to be seen starting in 10.13 and, in general, there is no easy way of knowing what type of FS a particular file resides on. # TMPDIR on APFS volume $ ./bin/python3.7 -m test test_httpservers Run tests sequentially 0:00:00 load avg: 1.43 [1/1] test_httpservers test test_httpservers failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File ".../lib/python3.7/test/support/__init__.py", line 598, in wrapper return func(*args, **kw) File ".../lib/python3.7/test/test_httpservers.py", line 395, in test_undecodable_filename with open(os.path.join(self.tempdir, filename), 'wb') as f: OSError: [Errno 92] Illegal byte sequence: '/var/folders/sn/0m4rnbyj2z1byjs68sz838300000gn/T/tmpqeg89k76/@test_64005_tmp\udce7w\udcf0.txt' test_httpservers failed 1 test failed: test_httpservers Total duration: 3 sec Tests result: FAILURE # TMPDIR redirected to HFS+ volume $ TMPDIR=/Volumes/euterpe/a ./bin/python3.7 -m test test_httpservers Run tests sequentially 0:00:00 load avg: 1.28 [1/1] test_httpservers 1 test OK.

I suggest to catch an error and skip the test if OSError with the specific errno has been raised.

> @vstinner, as the expert in this area, what do you suggest as the best way to deal with this? In support.__init__.py? Or test_httpservers itself? It's tricky when a filename is valid or not depending on the path, depending on the filesystem. The tempfile module checks if O_TMPFILE is supported: same issue, it depends on the path, and the user can configure the path. So we check each time if O_TMPFILE works or not.

Another option is to skip this test unconditionally on macOS when using APFS, the test is already skipped on win32 and tests a generic codepath where only testing on Linux should be fine. BTW. It is fairly easy to detect if a path is on APFS: ``` import subprocess def is_apfs(path): lines = subprocess.check_output(['df', path]).decode('utf-8').splitlines() mountpoint = lines[1].split(None, 1)[0] lines = subprocess.check_output(['mount']).decode('utf-8').splitlines() for ln in lines: path = ln.split(None, 1)[0] if path == mountpoint: return '(apfs' in ln return False ```

I've chosen to unconditionally skip test_undecodable_filename on macOS; it was already skipped for older macOS systems and I think it would be a mistake to test for a specific error code that could change in later releases. As Ronald points out, testing on Linux should be sufficient. Thanks everyone for your input. Fixed in 3.6.4 and 3.7.0.
