I've been bitten by similar issues often enough that I regularly git clean -dfx my checkouts or at least pass -r to tox so that it will recreate its virtualenvs from scratch. Yes it does add some extra time to the next test run, but you can iterate fairly tightly after that as long as you're not actively moving stuff around while you troubleshoot (and coupled with a git hook like Doug described for cleaning on topic branch changes would be a huge boon as well). -- Jeremy Stanley _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
