[Python-Dev] RE: test_unicode_file failing on trunk, Win98SE (original) (raw)

C:\Code\python\PCbuild>python ../lib/test/testunicodefile.py testdirectories (main.TestUnicodeFiles) ... ERROR testequivalentfiles (main.TestUnicodeFiles) ... ok testsinglefiles (main.TestUnicodeFiles) ... ERROR

My apologies - I have fixed it (I hope! No Win98 SE here for me to test on)

Note the error was in the test suite semantics only, not the core code.

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '@test-?????.dir'

Interestingly, this is yet another bug. The error you should have got is a UnicodeDecodeError. However, the Windows 'mbcs' encoding currently acts as if in errors=replace mode. See 850997. That is really neither here nor there tho - all it does is change the error you get when passing a Unicode filename.

Don't know about 2.3 maint, & can't test that today:

The fix to posixmodule was checked into both head and 2.3-maint, but the test suite changes were only made to head - for exactly this reason . Thus, 2.3 should be fine.

Please let me know if there are still errors.

Thanks,

Mark.
