Comment:
I had trouble with this at first, and then I realized one needs to use
`--optional=sage,gap_packages`; without `sage` there, _only_ the #optional
lines are run, which makes a lot of tests fail. (The tests above still
fail with `--optional=sage,gap_packages` though.)
I like the idea of adding tests for the gap packages, but maybe the test
in this patch is too verbose. It would fail, for example, if the user had
some extra gap packages installed manually, even if they load correctly.
Thoughts on changing it to something like the following?
{{{
sage: from sage.tests.gap_packages import all_installed_packages
sage: for name in all_installed_packages(): # optional:
gap_packages
....: stat = libgap.eval('LoadPackage("{0}")'.format(name))
....: message = "{2} : {0: <10} got '{1}' when loading."
....: if str(stat) == 'true':
....: prefix = ' '
....: else:
....: prefix = 'x'
....: print(message.format(name,stat,prefix))
x : HAPcryst got 'fail' when loading.
}}}
In fact, maybe I have attached a git branch with this version of the test!
(Still figuring out the git workflow . . .)
And another issue: Why do we have
{{{
$ ./sage -t --optional=sage,gap_packages src/sage/tests/gap_packages.py
Running doctests with ID 2013-07-19-15-20-57-fee4b5ac.
...
Total time for all tests: 7.3 seconds
cpu time: 7.2 seconds
cumulative wall time: 7.2 seconds
}}}
and
{{{
sage: %time import sage.tests.gap_packages
CPU times: user 5.55 s, sys: 0.05 s, total: 5.61 s
Wall time: 5.61 s
}}}
The rest of the things in sage/tests seem to import instantly . . . is
there something I'm doing wrong which makes this one so slow?
