I'm sure this has to be my configuration somehow, but I'm getting a build failure that I don't quite know how to debug, because I can't reproduce it when I run the test manually. Any advice would be appreciated-- I'm a buildslave newbie :-)
I'm referring to http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/builders/x86%20Snow%20Leopard%203.x/builds/13/steps/test/logs/stdio Now, when I saw this the first thing I assumed I should do is to try to reproduce it, so I did: Top-2:~ pythonbuildbot$ cp -R buildarea/3.x.hansen-osx-x86/ ~/test Top-2:~ pythonbuildbot$ cd ~/test/build/ Top-2:build pythonbuildbot$ ./configure --with-pydebug --with-computed-gotos [snip] Top-2:build pythonbuildbot$ make all [snip] I made sure to go check out the stdio for configure/compile so the compiling I'd do would be with the same options as the buildslave did. Then: Top-2:build pythonbuildbot$ ./python.exe -m test.regrtest -uall test_cmd_line.py [1/1] test_cmd_line 1 test OK. [84022 refs] Doh. So, next I try running the whole test suite: Top-2:build pythonbuildbot$ ./python.exe -m test.regrtest -uall [snip] [ 44/348] test_cmd_line And it passes too: but I notice its run way earlier in the test process then it did on the buildbot, and I remember reading awhile ago about a test failure that happened only when a certain test ran in a certain order. So, I go garb the randseed from the buildbot run and use it: Top-2:build pythonbuildbot$ ./python.exe -m test.regrtest -uall -r --randseed=9634655 == CPython 3.2a2+ (py3k:85321, Oct 8 2010, 08:54:05) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] == Darwin-10.4.0-i386-64bit little-endian == /Users/pythonbuildbot/test/build/build/test_python_86644 Using random seed 9634655 [snip] And long story short, it gets to 201 and runs test_cmd_line in the same order as the buildbot did, and it succeeds too, and I curse the gods of the netherworld, and am stumped with how to proceed. Two separate buildbot runs and this same failure happened, yet for me, no. Or I'm doing something differently then the buildbot is, and I can't see what. --Stephen
