Sanjeev, You may need build-essentials to run some of the tests. Pretty sure many tests will fail/pass if there's no c/c++ compiler. You can try: python runtest.py -a -Bill On Sat, Jan 9, 2016 at 10:57 PM, Sanjeev Gupta wrote: > > On Sun, Jan 10, 2016 at 1:59 PM, Bill

[Scons-dev] Tests and assert

Many of the SCons tests are a bit of a mess in one respect: unittest is being used as a framework but many of the tests use the python assert statement. Surely if using unittest the unittest test methods should be used, and if the Python assert statement is to be used then PyTest should be used

[Scons-dev] SCons tests and Java

From what I can see there are SCons tests that only run for Java 7 and earlier. These versions of Java are officially dead. OK so there is a lot of Java 7 in production, and indeed some Java 6. However if the tests should be applicable to Java 8 and Java 9 they need updating. -- Russel.

Re: [Scons-dev] Trial SCons migration to git on github

If this is about using git. I see two options with the least amount of work. 1) User uses a git-hg plug-in to checkout with git. or 2) Move the code in SCons to git in bitbucket. I don’t think we have a reason to do a major move to another site, when the current one works great with git as

Re: [Scons-dev] Ubuntu buildbot available

zero skipped is probably unrealistic (or impossible.. I think some may only run on windows) But minimizing the skipped is the goal. Especially if installing the required tools is fairly easy. It would be great if you captured the list of packages you installed to enable. Then I can update the
