From 102d11a6d6f972c5d9071f0c9a13204040ec39c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ronald Oussoren Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2010 09:50:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Workaround for issue 4047: in some configurations of the Crash Reporter on OSX test_subprocess will trigger the reporter. This patch prints a warning when the Crash Reporter will get triggered intentionally, which should avoid confusing people. --- Lib/test/test_subprocess.py | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) diff --git a/Lib/test/test_subprocess.py b/Lib/test/test_subprocess.py index 0f7d26c5d25..e6ba8cb1eac 100644 --- a/Lib/test/test_subprocess.py +++ b/Lib/test/test_subprocess.py @@ -559,6 +559,21 @@ class _SuppressCoreFiles(object): except (ImportError, ValueError, resource.error): pass + if sys.platform == 'darwin': + # Check if the 'Crash Reporter' on OSX was configured + # in 'Developer' mode and warn that it will get triggered + # when it is. + # + # This assumes that this context manager is used in tests + # that might trigger the next manager. + value = subprocess.Popen(['/usr/bin/defaults', 'read', + 'com.apple.CrashReporter', 'DialogType'], + stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0] + if value.strip() == b'developer': + print("this tests triggers the Crash Reporter, " + "that is intentional", end='') + sys.stdout.flush() + def __exit__(self, *args): """Return core file behavior to default.""" if self.old_limit is None:
