            Hi,

            I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out
            what.

            svn_trunk2 is a regular checkout of trunk.

            $ cmake -B out svn_trunk2 -DSVN_ENABLE_TESTS=ON
            $ cd out
            $ cmake --build
            $ ctest
            [...]

            All Python-based tests (63 and up) fail with the same
            error message:
            [[[

            (I have also tried with the "out" directory under
            svn_trunk2 but that had the same problem).


        I think it's the regression from here:
        https://lists.apache.org/thread/3s8d1t8r6x5d8xvvmqfqsfcm6fs1o56t
        The rest - I think you do it right.


    Ah, yes of course. I didn't connect the mental dots. Thanks!

    I see Jun already committed this patch in r1936304 this morning,
    with this the tests work.

    I think that one should also be included in 1.15.0 - not
    necessarily a release blocker but close to it - much of the
    thunder from the CMake build is lost if the tests are unable to run.

    CMake isn't really supported on anything but Windows, so making
    this a release blocker would, IMO, require at least a discussion +
    consensus here on dev@. I'm not happy that it's being somehow
    gently ushered in as a replacement for autotools on those
    platforms that support autotools. Suddenly making this failure
    important (it's not a regression (tm)) is just way off the charts.


Well, I think it would be great to include it in the release anyway. It doesn't really matter if we call it a "blocker" or not.

I suggest we nominate it and I'm pretty confident it'll get enough votes to be merged before 1.15.0 is rolled.

Also what exactly do you mean by cmake not being supported on anything but windows? It works fine on Unix and we have it as an option. Plus the same bug occurs on Windows as well.


I meant the CMake /build/. I know it works on other platforms. So we'll end up supporting CMake that "works everywhere" but is only needed on Windows, and autotools that work much better than CMake on Unix-like platforms.

I think it's a mistake to sink effort into making the CMake build appear to work on platforms that don't need it, but I'm not maintaining or using it, so... *shrug*
