[New-bugs-announce] [issue29691] Some tests fail in coverage Travis check

[Jelle Zijlstra]

New submission from Jelle Zijlstra:

A few tests fail in the coverage Travis target (see e.g. https://travis-ci.org/python/cpython/jobs/206480468): test_traceback and test_xml_etree.

I extracted the actual failures by running in verbose mode locally:

Fixing this will improve the coverage check on PRs.
