Hello,
After the 1.5.0 I tried again to setup a buildbot (and on top of that on *windows*) for buildout. Good news is that the tests now work. Bad news is that there are a hell lot of failures. More bad news is that there are some failures even on linux (a local ubuntu).
FWIW, tests passed for me on Ubuntu (Lucid) and Windows when I made a release, with Distribute and Setuptools, with a variety of Python versions.
Does anyone care about having a buildbot for buildout and fixing those failures?
Obviously, I want the tests to pass. I'll wade in, if necessary after the dust settles from 1.5.
I suspect that part of the problem may be that the tests tend to depend on how the python used to run them is configured. I always ran them with a clean Python.
Definitely. I contemplated trying to make it possible to develop buildout with a system Python, but that needs zc.recipe.testrunner upgraded to the new approach of generating scripts, maybe among other changes. And the initial setup necessary is to call dev.py, if that makes a difference. And there are some pre-existing tests that fail intermittently on Linux. I didn't address these. Gary
Other people tended to run them with a Python that had setuptools or distribute installed, and changed the tests to make them pass in their environment -- and so on. I'm going to take a fresh look at the way the tests are written and run to try to address this, among other things.
