Comment #9 on issue 580 by pekka.klarck: Files without extension inside
test data directories crash execution
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=580
Am I correct that there are two separate problems in this issue?
1) Files without extension crash the execution with ValueError. This is
interpreter and os independent bug and easy to reproduce:
$ echo foo > foo
$ pybot .
[ ERROR ] Unexpected error: ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
2) On Windows quoted arguments are handled incorrectly by Jython. I don't
have Windows machine to test this, but I don't think we could/should do
anything for it on RF side anyway.
Kai, did you notice Oti had commended http://bugs.jython.org/issue1624 and
asked for more information? Jython 2.5.2 is currently on beta and if you
can help fixing the issue the fix could still make the final version.
The problem with files without extensions is pretty severe and needs to be
fixed in RF 2.5.1. If you Kai want to help a bit more, creating a patch
from you fix would make reviewing it easier. Not a big deal in this
particular case, though.
