Unable to run tests with git bisect run

[Vimarsh Chaturvedi]

Hey folks, 

This is the first time I'm trying to contribute to Django. I am working on ticket #27554. 

In the comments, there was a link posted to "Bisecting the exact commit that introduced the regression" saying that it could be helpful. So I started going about it. 

The problem is when I was running the test suite for the first time the online docs said to run "./runtests.py" from inside the tests directory which didn't work out for me but the README inside the tests directory said to run 

"PYTHONPATH=..:$PYTHONPATH ./runtests.py" which ran the tests.

So once I started bisecting every time I was going back I was running  "PYTHONPATH=..:$PYTHONPATH ./runtests.py flattened-prefetch". flattened-prefetch being the name of the directory where I've written my tests. Once I reached where a commit where all tests were passing I tried running 

"git bisect run PYTHONPATH=..:$PYTHONPATH ./runtests.py flattened-prefetch" and it's giving me the following error:

"running PYTHONPATH=../ tests/runtests.py flattened-prefetch

/usr/local/Cellar/git/2.4.6/libexec/git-core/git-bisect: line 440: PYTHONPATH=../: No such file or directory"

yet it's still saying "bisect run success". Since it didn't find PYTHONPATH so I'm guessing it's wrong? 

Thanks

Hi,

Try to get the tests working in a virtual environment as described in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/ so you don't need the PYTHONPATH stuff. If you need help, join the #django-dev IRC channel.

Thanks for contributing.

Hi,


You need to put the `PYTHONPATH=...` thing at the beginning of the line, like so:

PYTHONPATH=..:$PYTHONPATH git bisect run ./runtests.py flattened-prefetch
