Enable GUI testing on Travis Linux builds via Xvfb by zware · Pull Request #7887 · python/cpython (original) (raw)

I am not completely surprised that something fails on Linux. I am more surprised that it failed on Travis and not VSTS Linux (#7890). Cheryl Sabella helped write these tests and must have run them (on Ubuntu) then and since. Tal, do they pass on your Linux?

Is there any easy way to get the tcl/tk version Travis uses? I expanded system info at the top of
https://travis-ci.org/python/cpython/jobs/395980894
and there were lots of things not relevant to us. If nothing else, I could temporarily add a print to test_idle.

Anyway, I am looking into how eq(d.highlight_target.get(), elem[tag]) could possibly have the first item as 'c'. The problem is likely to be in the nested click_it and the event_generate calls. The latter seem to be a bit delicate.
