The failure definitely seems timing related. This change *seems* to work.
Since the failure isn't doesn't occur consistently, it's hard to tell.
Running these tests on Solaris in this order:
test_urllibnet test_operator test_cgi \
test_isinstance test_future test_ast test_logging
generally caused a failure (about 50% of the time) before the sleep.
I couldn't provoke the failure with the sleep.
This should really be cleaned up by using threading.Events or something
so it is not timing dependent and doesn't hang forever on failure.
want to wait forever if we don't receive the last message. But we also
don't want the test to fail if we shutdown too quickly. I can't reliably
reproduce this failure, so I'm kinda guessing this is the problem.
We'll see if this band-aid helps.
Not sure why/how _handlers/_handlerList is out of sync. This could
indicate a deeper problem.
In test_logging, the only absolutely necessary change to get working
was tcpserver.abort = 1. But we don't want to wait infinitely
to join the threads, so give a 2.0 second timeout.
There doesn't appear to be a need for a local abort variable
in serve_until_stopped, so just use the instance member.
Note the problem is only on HEAD, not in 2.4.
the tests. This stops the confusing/annoying:
No handlers could be found for logger "cookielib"
message we got whenever some test running after test_logging
happened to use cookielib.py (when not using regrtest's -r,
this happened during test_urllib2; when using -r, it varied).
Obtain the original locale in the documented way. This way actually
works for me.
Restore the original locale at the end, instead of forcing to "C".
Move the locale fiddling into the test driver instead of doing it as a
side effect of merely importing the module. I don't know why the test
is mucking with locale (and also added a comment saying so), but it
surely has no justification for doing that as an import side-effect.
Now whenever the locale-changing code executes, the locale-restoring code
will also get run.
If this doesn't happen, it leaves the locale in a state that can cause
other tests to fail. For example, running test_strptime,
test_logging, and test_time in that order.
SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together
SF bug #757821: logging module docs
Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item.
Patched __init__.py - added new function
makeLogRecord (for bug report 760703).
Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and
deleted some old commented-out code.
Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord.
Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both
760703 and bug 757821).
