Hello,

Is it time to update the regression tests from Python 2 to Python3?

e.g.

[pg14 dan ~/src/bacula/regress] % grep -r python2 * 14:25:49
build/release/bgit.py:#!/usr/bin/env python2
test_duration:#!/usr/bin/env python2
^C

This is not a complete list.



I have started moving my regression testing hosts from 9.x to 11.x and I'm finding things which need improvement.

Following on from this, I am finding other things which are breaking regression testing on non-Linux systems.

The first: do not assume /bin/bash exists

[pg14 dan ~/src/bacula/regress] % git diff scripts/cleanup                                       15:11:00
diff --git a/regress/scripts/cleanup b/regress/scripts/cleanup
index 6cc332a16..fbeb28025 100755
--- a/regress/scripts/cleanup
+++ b/regress/scripts/cleanup

This same problem also affects regress/scripts/regress-utils.sh

Next, do not assume /bin/bash is the bash you are using. On some systems, it is /usr/local/bin/bash.

Deeper into regress/scripts/regress-utils.sh, is found:

# now check if we are running under a proper shell
if test "x$SHELL" != "x/bin/bash"
then
  echo "Regression script must use BASH for this utilities!"
  exit 1
fi

This will fail on my system for sure and others I'm sure.  I think for two reasons:

1 - $SHELL is an environment variable - it is not the shell running this script
2 - bash is not always /bin/bash

Must I be running the bash shell to invoke regression testing? If so, why?

Regression testing is vital to the project. At present, regression will work only on a limited number of operating systems.

I'm hoping we can change that soon.

I'm happy to send in pull requests soon.
My pull request is here:https://github.com/dlangille/bacula/pull/1

I don't know how to create a pull request directly to the repo.

Always happy to have my commit bit restored. It went away when the repo was moved to git.

Thank you.
