Message10362

On the meatier issue of exactly which tests are included and excluded, yes the idea is to make it easier for more people to test by giving a clean red or green result. This should also make it easier to spot regression problems for frequent developers and hopefully reduce stress around release candidates :)

The exact tests I included were just because they were the ones that failed on my laptop. When I run the command line Jeff uses I do get unexpected passes now and I agree we shouldn't. I still don't get the same set of passes and fails though and maybe we can use this thread to refine them.

A process of methodically knocking out the skips that aren't genuinely system driven then seemed the next step. I was hoping to keep plodding along on that, hopefully with a codebase learning side effect.

My current test state for trunk

231 tests OK.
14 tests skipped:
    test__rawffi test_closuregen test_descr test_largefile
    test_longexp test_mhlib test_poll test_posix test_py3kwarn
    test_socketserver test_struct test_subprocess test_urllib2net
    test_urllibnet
6 tests ran unexpectedly:
    test_asynchat test_asyncore test_cmd_line_script test_io
    test_select_new test_signal
17 tests failed:
    test_asynchat test_asyncore test_file2k test_httpservers
    test_logging test_netrc test_os_jy test_runpy test_shutil
    test_signal test_socket test_subprocess_jy test_sys test_sys_jy
    test_tarfile test_urllib2 test_zipfile
16 tests passed unexpectedly:
    test_bytes test_classpathimporter test_gc test_import
    test_import_pep328 test_java_integration test_jython_initializer
    test_list_jy test_marshal test_multibytecodec_support test_select
    test_sort test_ssl test_str test_unicode test_zipimport_jy
3 fails unexpected:

Platform:
    'Java-1.7.0_51-Java_HotSpot-TM-_64-Bit_Server_VM,_24.51-b03,_Oracle_Corporation-on-Windows_7-6.1-amd64'

So for the next iteration of this I will check they run both standalone and in a pack and put back the 16 passing tests.
