be called at the end of each test that spawns children (perhaps it
should be called from regrtest instead?). This will hopefully prevent
some of the unexplained failures in the buildbots (hppa and alpha)
during tests that spawn children. The problems were not reproducible.
There were many zombies that remained at the end of several tests.
In the worst case, this shouldn't cause any more problems,
though it may not help either. Time will tell.
issues that crop up from time to time, but this change seems to have been
pretty stable (no spurious warnings) for about a week.
Other modules which use threads may require similar use of
threading_setup/threading_cleanup from test_support.
tuples. Lots to be added, still, but this will give big-memory people
something to play with in 2.5 alpha 2, and hopefully get more people to
write these tests.
and test_support.run_classtests() into run_unittest()
and use it wherever possible.
Also don't use "from test.test_support import ...", but
"from test import test_support" in a few spots.
From SF patch #662807.
exception, ResourceDenied. This is used to distinguish between tests that
are skipped for other reasons (platform support, missing data, etc.) from
those that are skipped because a "resource" has not been enabled. This
prevents those tests from being reported as unexpected skips for the
platform; those should only be considered unexpected skips if the resource
were enabled.
imports of test modules now import from the test package. Other
related oddities are also fixed (like DeprecationWarning filters that
weren't specifying the full import part, etc.). Also did a general
code cleanup to remove all "from test.test_support import *"'s. Other
from...import *'s weren't changed.
Taught doctest about static methods, class methods, and property docstrings
in new-style classes. As for inspect.py/pydoc.py before it, the new stuff
needed didn't really fit into the old architecture (but was less of a
strain to force-fit here).
New-style class docstrings still aren't found, but that's the subject
of a different bug and I want to fix that right instead of hacking around
it in doctest.
the local save/modify/restore of sys.stdout, but add machinery so that
regrtest can tell test_support the value of sys.stdout at the time
regrtest.main() started, and test_support can pass that out later to anyone
who needs a "visible" stdout.
the first difference, let the test run till completion, then gather
all the output and compare it to the expected output using difflib.
XXX Still to do: produce diff output that only shows the sections that
differ; currently it produces ndiff-style output because that's the
easiest to produce with difflib, but this becomes a liability when the
output is voluminous and there are only a few differences.
their own test suite from a multitude of classes (like test_email.py
will be doing).
run_unittest(): Call run_suite() after making a suite from the
testclass.
horridly inefficient hack in regrtest's Compare class, but it's about as
clean as can be: regrtest has to set up the Compare instance before
importing a test module, and by the time the module *is* imported it's too
late to change that decision. The good news is that the more tests we
convert to unittest and doctest, the less the inefficiency here matters.
Even now there are few tests with large expected-output files (the new
cost here is a Python-level call per .write() when there's an expected-
output file).
saving instead a traceback string, but test_support's run_unittest was
still peeking into unittest internals and trying to pick apart unittest's
errors and failures vectors as if they contained exc_info() tuples instead
of strings.
Whatever, when a unittest-based test failed, test_support blew up. I'm
not sure this is the right way to fix it; it simply gets me unstuck.
(1) Allow multiple -u options to extend each other (and the initial
value of use_resources passed into regrtest.main()).
(2) When a test is run stand-alone (not via regrtest.py), needed
resources are always granted.
