So you are saying that running $srcdir/test-unixctl.py on Windows produces output in stderr. Why? Is there a bug with Windows port? [Paul Boca] This is the way logging library works on both Windows and Linux (https://docs.python.org/2/howto/logging.html - “If you call the functions debug()<https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html#logging.debug>, info()<https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html#logging.info>,warning()<https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html#logging.warning>, error()<https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html#logging.error> and critical()<https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html#logging.critical>, they will check to see if no destination is set; and if one is not set, they will set a destination of the console (sys.stderr)”) but the difference is that on Windows the stderr is appended in a file (the same file) and on Linux a stderr instance is used for every command. I understand what you are trying to say. My question is a little different. If I add the following incremental, vlog tests in Linux fail and this is because something is printed in stderr: diff --git a/tests/test-unixctl.py b/tests/test-unixctl.py index 5de51d3..f85de39 100644 --- a/tests/test-unixctl.py +++ b/tests/test-unixctl.py @@ -76,6 +76,8 @@ def main(): ovs.unixctl.command_register("block", "", 0, 0, unixctl_block, None) ovs.daemon.daemonize_complete() + vlog.err("oink") + vlog.info<http://vlog.info>("Entering run loop.") poller = ovs.poller.Poller() while not exiting: So the question is - what is it that gets printed in Windows in stderr? What specific test fails? [Paul Boca] On Windows I saw that “Entering run loop." gets printed in stderr. If I apply your incremental, both “oink” and “Entering run loop” are printed in stderr. Maybe there is a difference how logging library works on Windows, I don’t have too much experience with it. I will take a look, maybe I missed something, but the vlog.py is the same for both Windows and Linux. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
