[pypy-dev] Running pypy unit tests

[Vaibhav Sood]

Hi All,

I work on Python through which I came across pypy and I am interested in making some open-source contributions to the project. As first steps I tried building the source code (successfully) and running the unit tests as per the "Getting Started Developing with PyPy" page but I run into an issue

The way I run the tests is "./pytest.py <folder>" for each folder in the source code, I get the test results all folders but the command hangs for one particular folder "pypy/module"

For example,

./pytest.py -rfExs pypy/module
>> Running this never returns, doing a ps -ef I see multiple pytest.py processes running

I run the tests on a x86 VM with 4GB RAM. I am not sure if I am doing this right but is there a way around this issue? Also is there any recommended way to run all the pypy tests and is there any other recommended strategy to test new code added to pypy that I am missing?

I apologize for the slightly lengthy mail and the multiple questions

Thanks!
Vaibhav
