[Python-Dev] test_sax and test_random fail on Python 3.6.2rc1 on Windows (original) (raw)

I’m looking. Nobody in any of their reports has actually said what the line endings are in they install yet (I assume \n), and I haven’t had a chance to check yet.

Do we have a minimum git version requirement? Maybe I need to update my build machine.

Hi,

The end-of-line hell is not over, test_sax and test_random tests are still failing if you install Python 3.6.2rc1 on Windows: http://bugs.python.org/issue27425#msg296519

These tests rely on files in Lib/test/. The end-of-line of these files is controlled by .gitattributes, but it seems like the Windows installer changed the end-of-line or the file were not correctly created on the Git clone (.gitattributes ignored)?

In my Git checkout on Windows, Lib/test/xmltestdata/test.xml.out and Lib/test/randv2_32.pck use UNIX end-of-line (\n).

While it's possible to fix test_sax to translate the end-of-line, I would prefer to not have to modify test_random which opens a pickle binary file (Lib/test/randv2_32.pck).

So, can someone look how the Windows installer stores and then installs these files?

Victor
