With 3.4.3, shorter message about multiple errors

Interesting, I got a different failure on 3.5.0:

I had no failures on 3.4.3.

I had no failures on 3.4.3.

How do you run the test suite? The test fails when you pass option like -j0: python -m test -j0 test_tools.

IMHO the fix is trivial: monkey-patch sys.argv using support.swap_attr(sys, 'argv', ...). (I didn't try the fix).

terryjreedy · 2018-06-28T02:36:01Z

For me now, test site fails on installed 3.6.6 and 3.7.0 and passes on repository builds. Serial or parallel, no difference.

When I ran as part of the suite, I got --slaveargs message.

py -3.7 -m test test_tools

says cannot import test tools.

py -3.7 -m test.test_tools
says the following for each file in the directory
Testing C:\Programs\Python37\Lib\test\<file>
and ends with
ERROR: test_sundry (test.test_tools.test_sundry.TestSundryScripts)

LorenzMende · 2018-07-21T09:47:19Z

Approving the behaviour on 3.6.5 and fresh cpython-built @master:

From the docs: test_sundry "contains extremely basic regression tests... which don't have separate tests of their own".

IMHO 2to3 can be added to the whitelist of test_sundry as it comes with its own unit tests. When test_sundry runs import_tool with '2to3', lib2to3 is called without args, resulting in an exit 2 which breaks the basic test.

vstinner · 2018-07-23T10:52:53Z

Oh. I identified the root issue: Tools/scripts/2to3 is installed as Tools/scripts/2to3.py, a ".py" suffix is added. This script is tested on all non-Windows and skipped on Windows when run from source code, but test_sundry() imports 2to3.py which causes the test to fail, since the script expects an argument on the command line and fails with SystemExit which is not catched by test_sundry().

I wrote PR 8406 to skip 2to3.py. My PR also removes imported modules to remove side effects of the test.

--

Python 2.7 is not affected: test_tools is skipped on installed Python:

vstinner@WIN C:\>py -2.7 -m test test_tools
...
test_tools skipped -- test irrelevant for an installed Python
...
Tests result: SUCCESS

The issue should now be fixed in 3.6, 3.7 and master branches. You will have to wait for the next release in each branch to get the fix! In the meanwhile, you can skip manually the 2to3 by modifying manually the test.

Thanks for everybody who helped to report and identify the origin of the bug!
