[New-bugs-announce] [issue15617] FAIL: test_create_connection (test.test_socket.NetworkConnectionNoServer)

[Floris Bruynooghe]

New submission from Floris Bruynooghe:

The SPARC Solaris 10 OpenCSW 3.x builder fails with

======================================================================
FAIL: test_create_connection (test.test_socket.NetworkConnectionNoServer)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/export/home/buildbot/buildarea/3.x.bruynooghe-solaris-csw/build/Lib/test/test_socket.py", line 4101, in test_create_connection
    self.assertEqual(cm.exception.errno, errno.ECONNREFUSED)
AssertionError: 128 != 146

Here 128 is ENETUNREACH

I think the issue here is that socket.create_connection iterates over the result of socket.getaddrinfo('localhost', port, 0, SOCK_STREAM) which returns [(2, 2, 0, '', ('127.0.0.1', 0)), (26, 2, 0, '', ('::1', 0, 0, 0))] on this host.

The first result is tried and returns ECONNREFUSED but then the second address is tried and this returns ENETUNREACH because this host has not IPv6 network configured.  And create_connection() raises the last exception it received.

If getaddrinfo() is called with the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag then it will only return the IPv4 version of localhost.
