New issue 221: Hardcoded '/' in tests leads to widespread test failure on
Windows
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/221/hardcoded-in-tests-leads-to-widespread
Jeff Brantley:
Although the beancount codebase and tests do take advantage of os.path.join,
lots of tests have hardcoded forward-slash ('/') path separators, particularly
in expected-value regex strings. I'm not sure whether there are any failure
cases due to trying to *use* a Unix-style path.
Steps to Reproduce:
Generally follow what the Installing Beancount doc says Martin does for
development, but map it to Windows:
1. Install python and pip-install dependencies manually, including nose
2. Optionally work in a virtual environment using `python -m venv ENV &&
ENV\Scripts\activate`
3. cd to beancount repo and run `python setup.py build_ext -i`
4. cd elsewhere, I guess
5. `set PATH=%PATH%;C:\path\to\repo\bin`
6. `set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\path\to\repo`
7. `nosetests -v beancount`
To assess and experiment with failing tests "one-at-a-time", one (probably
non-optimal) way is to run with `-x` to stop on first failure, and then
progressively add in `-e TESTNAME` flags to skip individual failing tests in
order to get to the next failure. The first failing test will not necessarily
be failing due to this issue.
