Failing unit test in Jenkins (test_excepthook_logs_exception)

[Stuart McLaren]

With this code submission:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/12692/

The following unit test is failing in Jenkins:

10:39:24 ======================================================================
10:39:24 FAIL: test_excepthook_logs_exception (tests.unit.test_log.ExceptionLoggingTestCase)
10:39:24 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
10:39:24 Traceback (most recent call last):
10:39:24 File "/home/jenkins/workspace/gate-openstack-common-python27/tests/unit/test_log.py", line 233, in
test_excepthook_logs_exception
10:39:24 msg="Exception is not logged")
10:39:24 AssertionError: Exception is not logged
10:39:24 'Exception is not logged' = self._formatMessage('Exception is not logged', "%s is not true" % safe_repr(False))
10:39:24 >> raise self.failureException('Exception is not logged')

Reproducing on my desktop, and adding some debug gives:

======================================================================

If, as suggested by Mark McLoughlin, I remove the openstack nose plugin on my desktop the
test runs ok.

I'm pretty sure this will be fixed by https://review.openstack.org/16752

i.e. we won't notice the openstack.nose_plugin anymore

If you try this out, make sure to blow away your .tox before testing
