Hi Traccers,
Executive summary: we have automatic builders for OS X and WinXP now
in place, and have solved most of the issues that arose last Nov. when
we added these automated builds. Most of the failures we received on
these two platforms were actually incompatibilities in the tests
themselves, and are now fixed.
Since Eli caught the sandbox/testing branch back up in sync with
trunk, we put some effort into fixing some platform-specific bugs in
the functional tests:
The persistent failures on OS X related to #5497 ("eblot's isue") were
actually caused by Tidy mangling the html. A fix was committed for
this that disables twill's use of Tidy (and was not confined to OSX,
at least two other versions of Tidy triggered it as well, only nobody
had them installed).
The failure of #5819 (sorting in timeline) is still around and isn't a
test-only issue, but only apparent in Python versions < 2.4. Since it
is a visual glitch that few people will even encounter, I propose we
make it skip on older Python since there's nothing (within reason) we
can do.
Various failures of the functional tests on Windows are basically
fixed now. Among the platform issues are taskkill requires the
'force' flag for some reason, directories can't be deleted that
contain open or read-only files, and svn expects a different number
(and kind) of slashes to refer to paths on the command line.
The remaining Windows failure is in test_reparse of the configuration
tests, and involves a time.sleep(1) which is lower than the guaranteed
timestamp granularity of Windows filesystems, according to the path
module tests. A patch has been sent to Eli to fix the test delay, and
in real usage scenarios we'll have to hope the Windows users use the
mouse and don't save/reload/modify/save the daemon too quickly :)
