Errors in tests when working through contribution tutorial

[Lee Cartwright]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right group for this question, but I figured it was the best place to start. I'm interested in contributing to the Django project and have spent some time today working through the contribution tutorial. I've got to the initial 'running tests' stage and have a few test errors that I cannot figure out. The output is:

======================================================================

FAIL: test_old_style_storage (file_storage.tests.FileFieldStorageTests)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/leec/Development/django/contrib_tutorial/django/tests/file_storage/tests.py", line 566, in test_old_style_storage

AssertionError: 4 != 2

I'm guessing this is because something isn't quite right in my development set up but I haven't been able to figure out exactly what. If anyone can give me some pointers as to what I should check I'd really appreciate it.

OS: Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Python: 3.5.0

Thanks,

Lee

Hi Lee, I think the issue is that the tests don't pass on Python 3.5 at the commit where the contributing was tutorial was authored. I suppose we'll have to update it to use a more recent patch or at least mention this caveat for now.

Hi Tim,

I hadn't considered that. I'll try with a different version of Python 3.

Thanks,

Lee
