Hi, I may want to create a branch of zc.buildout. It would be handy if I get the current tests to pass first though, which for me they don't. I have read the DEVELOPERS.txt on trunk. This is zc.buildout trunk. I ran dev.py with a clean python 2.6.6 (freshly downloaded and compiled, no setuptools). Mac OS X 10.6.6. I have removed my ~/.buildout/default.cfg and ~/.pythonrc.py for good measure. I ran the tests but in the end I have to interrupt them as they wait forever: $ time bin/test Running zope.testrunner.layer.UnitTests tests: Set up zope.testrunner.layer.UnitTests in 0.000 seconds. zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents...

Going in with a pdb I see that it waits for completion of: .../_TEST_/interpreter/bin/py -c 'import pprint, sys; pprint.pprint(sys.path[-4:])' When I try that command myself in a separate terminal it also waits forever. Even just calling that bin/py with -h, -V, -E or -S just results in a process appearing to wait for input. The interpreter/bin/py looks like this: ----------------------------------------------------- #!/private/var/folders/KA/KAXdMSFEHom0r8QU1jW-Jk+++TI/-Tmp-/tmpcsUDSybuildoutSetUp/_TEST_/executable_buildout/bin/py -S import os import sys argv = [sys.executable] + sys.argv[1:] environ = os.environ.copy() path = '/private/var/folders/KA/KAXdMSFEHom0r8QU1jW-Jk+++TI/-Tmp-/tmpcsUDSybuildoutSetUp/_TEST_/interpreter/parts/interpreter' if environ.get('PYTHONPATH'): path = os.pathsep.join([path, environ['PYTHONPATH']]) environ['PYTHONPATH'] = path os.execve(sys.executable, argv, environ) ----------------------------------------------------- This is somehow wrong: even adding a print statement on line 2 gives: line 2: print: command not found The .../_TEST_/executable_buildout/bin/py that is called by the above script works fine: ----------------------------------------------------- #!/Users/mauritsvanrees/py/clean/py266/bin/python -S import os import sys argv = [sys.executable] + sys.argv[1:] environ = os.environ.copy() path = '/private/var/folders/KA/KAXdMSFEHom0r8QU1jW-Jk+++TI/-Tmp-/tmpcsUDSybuildoutSetUp/_TEST_/executable_buildout/parts/py' if environ.get('PYTHONPATH'): path = os.pathsep.join([path, environ['PYTHONPATH']]) environ['PYTHONPATH'] = path os.execve(sys.executable, argv, environ) ----------------------------------------------------- BTW, when I run the zc.recipe.egg tests on their own, the 5 tests pass. On zc.buildout branch 1.4 the tests do finish, but with 3 failures, the first of which are these: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File "/Users/mauritsvanrees/buildout/zc.buildout/1.4/src/zc/buildout/buildout.txt", line 578, in buildout.txt Failed example: wait_until("foo goes away", lambda : not os.path.exists('foo'), timeout=100) Exception raised: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/mauritsvanrees/buildout/zc.buildout/1.4/eggs/zope.testing-3.10.2-py2.6.egg/zope/testing/doctest/__init__.py", line 1355, in __run compileflags, 1) in test.globs File "<doctest buildout.txt[line 578, example 34]>", line 2, in <module> timeout=100) File "/Users/mauritsvanrees/buildout/zc.buildout/1.4/src/zc/buildout/testing.py", line 203, in wait_until raise ValueError('Timed out waiting for: '+label) ValueError: Timed out waiting for: foo goes away ---------------------------------------------------------------------- File "/Users/mauritsvanrees/buildout/zc.buildout/1.4/src/zc/buildout/buildout.txt", line 583, in buildout.txt Failed example: os.path.exists('foo') Expected: False Got: True ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The other failures seem related. The zc.recipe.egg (1.2.2) tests fail with some minor differences in generated scripts: Expected: base = os.path.dirname(__file__) Got: base = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(os.path.realpath(__file__))) BTW, somehow the zc.recipe.egg_ directory is not used as a development egg, but the official 1.2.2 egg is used, even though develop-eggs/zc.recipe.egg.egg-link seems fine. Are others getting these failures too? If not, any idea what could cause them on my machine? Sorry for the long post.
