[Zope3-dev] eggsplosion and tests

[Martijn Faassen]

Hi there,

I just tried something Stephan also tried, but deserves another topic. I 
just wrote a simple script that takes all the eggs grok uses and tries 
to run their tests. This is to see whether our pile of eggs isn't broken 
in some way.

I get a ton of errors. Mostly a ton of import errors, but other things 
as well, probably mostly due to version skew where one release assumes 
it can do things with APIs in another release that another release 
doesn't allow yet or not anymore.

And then the whole testrunner bails out somewhere in the middle:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/faassen/buildout/grok-0.10/testbuildout/bin/test", line 
115, in ?
     zope.testing.testrunner.run((['--tests-pattern', '^f?tests$', 
'-v']) + [
   File 
"/home/faassen/buildout-eggs/tmpRHS1Xv/zope.testing-3.4-py2.4.egg/zope/testing/testrunner.py", 
line 271, in run
   File 
"/home/faassen/buildout-eggs/tmpRHS1Xv/zope.testing-3.4-py2.4.egg/zope/testing/testrunner.py",

line 661, in resume_tests
zope.testing.testrunner.SubprocessError

We'll have a lot of work cut out for us to fix this.

This is one point where I can see an evolving index will help. The 
trouble is we ended up starting with such a messed up state in the first 
place. :(

Regards,

Martijn
