Zachary Ware added the comment: Looking deeper at this, I think the best solution is to use '*.py' instead of '*.py' without changing the code at all. Quoting on the Windows shell is somewhat of a nightmare (see my example on Rietveld), but using double quotes works on both Windows and Linux. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

R. David Murray added the comment: I should clarify that some unix shells will pass the glob through if there are no files that match, while some will generate the 'no matching files' error message. The former is actually worse, since that means that sometimes it works without the quotes, and sometimes it doesn't. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Pam McA'Nulty added the comment: Thanks, Zach for both the comments and the mention of the email bounce. I changed jobs and didn't have this site listed in my must update email address list (fixed now) Should I re-update the doc patch and put in double quotes? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

R. David Murray added the comment: Ah, but the quotes *are* necessary on unix. Without the quotes, the shell will try to fill in the glob, which will either fail with an error that no files match or (worse) succeed and turn the pattern into a list of filenames. Which is why Zach is suggesting using double quotes, which have the (same) documented result on both unix and windows, even though *why* they have the same result is slightly different on the two systems. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Pam McA'Nulty added the comment: This version of the patch just updates the docs. Since the quotes aren't really necessary for the example to work, the patch removes the single quotes from the example. I don't think that the python unittest documentation should explain/document the various command-line quoting rules, so let's not add un-necessary confusion. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file39025/cpython-22812-discovery-quotes-v2.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Pam McA'Nulty added the comment: Remove quotes from quoted patterns only on windows systems (since if the quotes get parsed into the pattern field on a non-windows system, one should respect the user's command line efforts). Test uses unittest.mock.patch to test windows path. -- keywords: +patch nosy: +Pam.McANulty Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file38939/cpython-22812-discovery-quotes-v1.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Zachary Ware added the comment: As an aside: Pam, I got a bounce notice from the email that Rietveld tried to send you. It claims that your email account is disabled, though I suspect that might be it's way of saying it thinks Rietveld is spam (since it tries to send in the reviewer's name). -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

New submission from Robert Collins: From https://code.google.com/p/unittest-ext/issues/detail?id=13 The following is incorrect on Windows: python -m unittest discover -p '*.py' It should be without the single quotes around the .py: python -m unittest discover -p *.py This needs to be documented. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 230777 nosy: docs@python, rbcollins priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation of unittest -p usage wrong on windows. versions: Python 3.5 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

R. David Murray added the comment: Why doesn't it work with the quotes? Wouldn't it be better to make it work? Or is it as simple as changing the example to use double quotes? -- nosy: +r.david.murray ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Robert Collins added the comment: I agree. IIRC the windows shell passes the argument as '*.py' rather than as *.py, so when we glob it we get no files, as no python files end with an apostrophe. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
