Failing tests in revno 493

[tmtom]

Trying to build latest version (revno 493) on OpenSUSE 11.1 (x86_64, Python 2.6). The build seems to be OK however when running tests there are some failures:

Ran 636 tests in 48.144s

FAILED (failures=18, errors=99)

Is this OK or am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug?

Log of the tests is attached.

Hi Tomtom,

Can you tell me what kind of filesystem that the media files live on (ext3, vfat)?

Many of these failures seem to be related to the order that filenames are read from the source filesystem (the tests assume a certain ordering, and they shouldn't). I'll look more closely at the log to determine what might be causing the other failures.

Thanks,
Forest

Hi Tomtom,

A few more observations:

 * You should install gamin if you want the gamin tests to pass. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about those.
 * The env command is producing lines without an = sign. I'm not sure if that is normal. Does `env | grep -v '='` produce any output?

This comment and the last one characterize the failures you are seeing. If you can give me some feedback, that would be valuable.

Thanks,
Forest

Fix for source filesystem ordering assumptions is in bzr dev and will be release in 0.9.0. The other failures, unfortunately, are not fixable without more info.

Fixed in version 0.9.0rc1.
