I looked into this one in October, but my email to zope-dev@ was perhaps not very coherent, and I didn't have a clear solution. The problem is that zope.testrunner is used to run zope.testing's tests. - there's a test (layers.txt) that calls zope.testing.testrunner's run_internal() - which at some point decides it needs to fork a subprocess - the subprocess runs bin/test, asking it to run a layer named zope.testing.testrunner.layer.UnitTests - but bin/test is not zope.testing.testrunner -- it's zope.testrunner, which names its unit test layer differently - so the unit test layer is not found and never gets run - and layers.txt fails You can easily reproduce this on Linux as well, if you check out the 3.9 branch of zope.testing. (Actually I get four failures, not just one. I think that's because some of those tests are disabled on the buildbot. The other three failures are about pdb support.) I see three possible approaches. 1. If we could upgrade zope.testing to a latter version -- one that doesn't have zope.testing.testrunner any more -- the problem would go away. But this is too backwards-incompatible to push into ZTK 1.0. 2. Perhaps we could change the ZTK testing tools to go back to using zope.testing.testrunner instead of zope.testrunner? Then the problem would go away as well. 3. Finally, maybe it would be possible to have zope.testing.testrunner's test setup create the right zope.testing.testrunner script somewhere so it's nested tests use itself instead of zope.testrunner. Sounds like work... Marius Gedminas -- http://pov.lt/ -- Zope 3/BlueBream consulting and development
