This method was supposed to return only the file under the dist-info
directory, but it actually returned all installed files.
The tests didn’t catch this because they were flawed; I updated them.
Thanks to Nadeem Vawda and Jeremy Kloth for testing.
As a bonus, the removal of os.path.relpath use should also fix the
Windows buildbots.
The command without arguments already prints all installed distributions
found.
In addition, change “releases” for “projects” in the description of the
list action. Strictly speaking, one installed distribution satisfies
the requirement for a release (i.e. version) of a project, but as
currently only one release per project can be installed at a time, the
two are somewhat equivalent, and “project” is more understandable in
help texts (which call their argument “dist”, by the way..)
This is copied from the namesake distutils command; there is no
automated test, so buildbots won’t call for my head this time, but it
should be okay as Python 3 users have tested the distutils command.
In dry-run mode, packaging commands should log the same info as in real
operation and should collect the same files in self.outputs, so that
users can run a command in verbose and dry-run mode to see exactly what
operations will be done in the real run.
New tests were added in test_metadata and old tests inherited from
distutils were still in test_dist, so I moved them into test_metadata
(except for one which was more at home in test_run) and merged
duplicates.
I also added some skips to lure contributors <wink>, optimized the
Metadata.update method a trifle, and added notes about a number of
issues.
A note: The tests in test_dist used to dump the Metadata objects to a
file in the METADATA format and look for strings in its contents; I
updated them to use the mapping API of Metadata instead. For some
fields with special writing rules, I have added tests to ensure my
conversion did not lose anything.
