[Python-Dev] [Python-checkins] buildbot warnings in hppa Ubuntu dapper trunk (original) (raw)

FYI, here's the minimal set of failing tests:

$ python_d ../Lib/test/regrtest.py test_file test_optparse test_file test_optparse test test_optparse failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_optparse.py", line 1042, in test_filetype_noexist test_support.TESTFN) File "C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_optparse.py", line 158, in assertParseFail self.assertFalse("expected parse failure") AssertionError

1 test OK. 1 test failed: test_optparse [23476 refs]

That also, using -w and -f, reproduces the bizarre HPPA behavior when test_optparse is rerun in verbose mode (test_filetype_noexist passes then, but test_version fails).

I have no idea why any of this is true, but there's good and bad news: reverting rev 46757 does not make the problem go away. So you're off the hook, but we don't know who to crucify in your place ;-)

As to why the failure only showed up recently, I'm not sure, but test_file must run before test_optparse, and it looks like the problem goes away if "too many"(!) other tests intervene. The Win2K buildbot is unique in that test_file has been followed very soon by test_optparse two builds in a row.
