[issue10540] test_shutil fails on Windows after r86733
New submission from Brian Curtin cur...@acm.org: My build slave shows a test failure at test_dont_copy_file_onto_link_to_itself. This happens because the implementation of _samefile in Lib/shutil.py (line 70) doesn't work for Windows hard links. Patch on the way. -- assignee: brian.curtin components: Library (Lib), Windows messages: 122462 nosy: brian.curtin priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: test_shutil fails on Windows after r86733 type: behavior versions: Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10540 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue10540] test_shutil fails on Windows after r86733
Brian Curtin cur...@acm.org added the comment: Here is a patch. os.path.samefile and hard links don't work for Windows the same way they do for Mac/Linux. In the case where we are on Windows and a link comes into the _samefile function, check that it's a link and then use os.path.sameopenfile. If it's not a link but a regular file, or it's some other OS, do the os.path.samefile check. -- keywords: +patch nosy: +tarek Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19826/issue10540.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10540 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
