nosetests won't find my tests on solaris 10 sparc

[Yoni Tsafir]

I am working on a project that has tests that I run on multiple
platforms.

Every platform find the tests just fine, but in a solaris 10 sparc
machine I'm having a weird problem of nose finding only a very partial
subsets of the tests I need to run.

The only clue I have about this, is that when I run nosetests --
debug=nose.selector I get the following messages:

nose.selector: INFO: /path/to/test/test_something.py is executable;
skipped

chmod -x on the file didn't help.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Yoni.

You could try the --exe switch, that tells nose that you don't mind it
loading executable files. Does that help?

Well huh. Could you log into a python shell on the solaris machine
and report back the output of this? Also, make sure the file is
readable by the executing user.

import os
os.access('/path/to/test/test_something.py', os.X_OK)

if it's True then Nose will skip the file. If that code returns True
but you know the file is not actually executable then time to file a
bug http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/

That's the case....
I'll file a bug.

Yep, that helps.
Thank you :)

Also, if you could tell us what the python code is to detect
executable files on Solaris then it would increase the chances of
getting the bug fixed by 100% :)
