| Description: |
Several test scripts asume ::argv0 to always be there, which is not the case for a slave interpreter. The tests run fine by themselves but fail from under the all.tcl harness... This one-line patch addresses the problem. -mi P.S. Some other tests (mime decode/encode) fail because they assume the C/iso-8859-1 locale. To pass they must run with LANG=C set... | |||

Logged In: YES user_id=75003 Has the discussion closed ? As the patch has been applied, can the entry be closed as well ? What issues are open and unresolved ? patthoyts added on 2003-04-28 16:43:26: Logged In: YES user_id=202636 Moved this from patches to bugs as the patch has been applied and this is now a bug discussion. patthoyts added on 2003-04-28 16:40:21: Logged In: YES user_id=202636 Renaming this - we now use 'sak.tcl' to run the test suite - but I'm certain the same problems will be present. Need to retry with tclsh sak.tcl test kot added on 2003-04-24 23:46:51: Logged In: YES user_id=173641 FIY. My LANG is set to uk_UA.KOI8-U. I observed failures on FreeBSD. The FreeBSD port now sets LANG to C prior to running tests (or anything), which provides the work-around. patthoyts added on 2003-03-29 09:16:41: Logged In: YES user_id=202636 This certainly seems like a reasonable patch. It appears that none of the current tests depend upon argv0 now but this would prevent future problems. I don't know about the locale issue though. I've tried running the mime tests with LANG set to fr, de and C but it has passed every time. I've committed this patch as it doesn't cause any new failures. Need to confirm the locale issue either on a unix system or have someone who natively uses a non-english locale to check for any such depencency. andreas_kupries added on 2003-03-29 00:49:19: Logged In: YES user_id=75003 True regarding duplication. However this patch seems to be more general than the patch in #507242. Application stops future problems with argv0 immediately. What's your opinion ? patthoyts added on 2002-01-29 23:05:47: Logged In: YES user_id=202636 Duplicate of bug #507242 except for the locale issue. Hmm. How do we ensure the C locale from within Tcl during a test? kot added on 2002-01-29 02:42:24: Logged In: YES
