Comment (by tscholl2):
I get the first 3 errors if I run `sage -t --long
src/sage/interfaces/magma.py` but not if I run `./sage -t --long
src/sage/interfaces/magma.py`. Shouldn't I only be checking if it runs
with the version of Sage on the branch and not the user's systems'
version?
The last error seems to be something I didn't notice. Apparently some of
the interfaces keep a counter of the commands used and label things with
it. The `set_seed` function for some interfaces raises this counter
because it needs to call a command in the interface. So running the test
in `src/sage/repl/interpreter.py` the counter is off from what it used to
be.
This error doesn't occur if I comment out line 626 in
`src/sage/interfaces/maxima.py`:
{{{
625 # set random seed
626 self.set_seed(self._seed)
}}}
I'm not sure what to do about this. It seems like there is a few options:
* We could reset the counter after the `set_seed` function is called (I
actually don't know if this is possible yet).
* We could change all the doc tests in functions which use this counter
and increment it manually.
* We could not run `set_seed` on start and leave it up to the user to run
it.
Martin, do you have any suggestions on which way to proceed?
