New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jar...@jaraco.com>:
In [this job](https://travis-ci.org/jaraco/cmdix/jobs/491246158), a project is using assertEqual to compare two directory listings that don't match in the group. But the hint markers pointing to the mismatch are pointing at positions that match: E AssertionError: '--w-[50 chars]drwxrwxr-x 2 2000 2000 4096 2019-02-10 14:[58 chars]oo\n' != '--w-[50 chars]drwxr-xr-x 2 2000 2000 4096 2019-02-10 14:[58 chars]oo\n' E --w-r---wx 1 2000 2000 999999 2019-02-10 14:02 bar E - drwxrwxr-x 2 2000 2000 4096 2019-02-10 14:02 biz E ? --- E + drwxr-xr-x 2 2000 2000 4096 2019-02-10 14:02 biz E ? +++ E - -rw-rw-r-- 1 2000 2000 100 2019-02-10 14:02 foo E ? --- E + -rw-r--r-- 1 2000 2000 100 2019-02-10 14:02 foo E ? +++ As you can see, it's the 'group' section of the flags that differ between the left and right comparison, but the hints point at the 'user' section for the left side and the 'world' section for the right side, even though they match. I observed this on Python 3.7.1. I haven't delved deeper to see if the issue exists on 3.7.2 or 3.8. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 335154 nosy: jaraco priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: unittest assertEqual reports incorrect location of mismatch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35955> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
