Plethora of tests failing on a Debian system in 0.3 branch

[yarikoptic]

I was about to update python-git package in Debian, and since I am a paranoid fella I wanted to enable build time unittesting. For that I have updated gitdb
to 0.6.0 and smmap to 0.8.3 but now I am getting a plethora of tests failing with 0.3.2.1 (btw -- please use annotated tags for the releases!) and even with tip of 0.3 (0.3.2.1-24-g891b124). Here are erroring and failing tests on my jessie/sid box

because I apparently didn't recurse into init/update submodules within gitdb submod. May be test could be improved to report "Please init/update submodules under git/ext/gitdb" (I found no init --recursive, although there is update --recursive)

It's a known issue that git-python currently has failing tests, which are supposed to get fixed for the v0.3.3 release. It's interesting to see that there are different issues than there are on OSX, as I see only 3 errors and 3 failures, whereas you appear to have 8 and 4 respectively.

However, gitdb and smmap, should work fine on OSX and linux. My linux testing is currently only done regularly via travis ci though, as I work on OSX.

async has been removed and is no dependency anymore, the submodule tests related to it might fail because they have not been updated yet. git-submodule support in git-python is also heavily outdated due to the changes done to how git handles submodules by now.

Also, what kind of information would you expect in an annotated tag ?

My test results for comparison

All tests performed on 750e967, and I ran the git daemon /tmp as stated in one of the failing tests and made sure git-python was checked out with --init --recursive. In one of the tests listed by you, it says it wants git daemon "/home/yoh/.tmp" to make this test work.

It seems that linux shows no more regression than OSX, judging from comparison with xubuntu at least , and I would have expected the debian box you are using to be somewhat comparable to that.

OSX (git 1.9.3, python 2.7.6)

[yarikoptic]

Thanks for the detailed answer!!!

• That was my next question -- why there is no .travis.yml in this one (while in dbgit etc) ;-)? FWIW I have also initiated an attempt to provide chroot environments/runners to be used within travis (https://github.com/neurodebian/travis-chroots, so not only elderly precise and not only amd64), but haven't finalized it on a sample project yet (https://travis-ci.org/neurodebian/psychopy/builds)
• "Also, what kind of information would you expect in an annotated tag ?"
  whatever you wish ;) the point is that it would become a "proper tag" instead of a mere pointer, and "git describe" would use it without necessity to specify --tags
• I guess I would just need to skip those failing tests for now and better package from the tip of the 0.3 branch, right?

[yarikoptic]

btw -- "and I ran the git daemon /tmp as stated in one of the failing tests" -- might be better to start it automagically ? I do smth like that with a decorator in another project for starting web server for some tests -- if of any help: https://github.com/datalad/datalad/blob/HEAD/datalad/tests/utils.py#L164

[Byron]

• About annotated tags.
  • Ah, I see !
    git describe was confusing me plenty of times before because it didn't work out of the box as I expected. Tags are tags, I thought, at least git didn't ever make it clear to me that ref based tags are somehow considered minor. Next time, I will try to remember to use proper tags though, thanks for the hint.
• "I guess I would just need to skip those failing tests for now and better package from the tip of the 0.3 branch, right?"
  • Yes, I recommend to use tip of 0.3 and package it as 0.3.2.1 . The next milestone is 0.3.3 which aims for working tests on all *nix platforms (and yes, I am willing to close an eye or two on windows because I don't want to take the pain)
• on git daemon better started automatically
  • I agree - it's a remnant from old times - see decorator to launch git-daemon to make tests work without user reading exceptions #217 . It's a great example for pains that you are so used to that you don't question them anymore.

[yarikoptic]

"0.3 and package it as 0.3.2.1 "
no no no ;)

$> git describe --tags upstream/0.3
0.3.2.1-24-g891b124

so it will become 0.3.2.1+git24-g891b124, unless you give it a 0.3.2.2 tag ;)

[Byron]

:D ! Yes, I was sloppy there, but you got my point. It would be a bad thing not to be able to figure out exactly which commit the debian version was made from.

As I don't want to re-release for minor changes just yet, I believe 0.3.2.1+git24-g891b124 it is then.

[yarikoptic]

or may be lazy me should just wait for tests to get fixed... --exclude becomes too long atm :-/
btw -- here is the one on date parsing -- seems to be an issue of GMT vs local zone (I am in EDT)

so indeed no tabs -- spaces (git 2.1.3)

[yarikoptic]

btw -- are you working on the .travis.yml or should I try? ;-)

[Byron]

This file does exist, and I didn't trust myself there at all either ;).

 git ls-files | grep travis && echo works for me

Are you talking about the excludes you wanted to add ? I thought these are related to your package scripts.

[yarikoptic]

re travis: sorry!! I was blind (or just was looking in the wrong place doing too many things at once). Indeed it is failing with 2 of the tests which fail for me. I have provided info on the date one , and here is for the test_iteration:

if of any help... should I bisect them if that would be of any help?

[Byron]

This would certainly be helpful if you want to invest the time. Nonetheless, I don't think we will get the next release done today as I have to get to a meetup soon.
As I wanted to get 0.3.3 out of the door ... 30 days ago ... I guess I can just get going tomorrow and make sure this happens this year ! Sorry for that, it's just this "I don't really want to do anything even though doing the opposite would actually help" syndrome I have to overcome :) !

[yarikoptic]

bisect - ok -- I will try! and no problem that "not today" -- thank you very much for this project and pushing it full steam forward! hopefully at some point I could become a more useful contributor ;)

[Byron]

Thanks !
Alright, tomorrow is the day, something tells me that fixing the remaining issues will not be rocket science at all (except for submodule support, which is scheduled for a later release anyway).
