Hello,
I am currently trying to update src:kiwi to its latest upstream version to fix
#1069389 [1].
The problem that I am now stuck with is that the testsuite uses the entry_points
class to test for the available kiwi.tasks. It looks like something like this:
from importlib_metadata import entry_points
for entry in dict.get(entry_points(), 'kiwi.tasks'):
discovered_tasks[entry.name] = entry.load()
However, that fails because the kiwi module needs to be either installed for
entry_points() to find "kiwi.tasks" or the PYTHONPATH needs to include the
build directory below ".pybuild". Otherwise, entry_points() will not include
"kiwi.tasks" and the testsuite fails.
I noticed that entry_points() will also work as expected if the python
interpretor
is run from within the build directory below ".pybuild", so I tried adding the
following to debian/rules according to [2]:
export PYTHONPATH = $(CURDIR)
export PYBUILD_TEST_ARGS_python3 = cd {build_dir}; python{version} -m discover
That doesn't work unfortunately and entry_points() still fails and there doesn't
seem to be much documentation available for pybuild which explains how to adjust
PYTHONPATH for running the testuite.
Note that I tried this with kiwi 10.0.16 plus the patch from [3]. I put up a
little
reproducer in [4].
Does anyone know how to make pybuild set the proper PYTHONPATH so that
entry_points()
works while running the testsuite?
Thanks,
Adrian
