418710 - Tests aren't compiled during running runtests.py.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Evgeniy Andrievskiy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: 

During running testsuite (runtests.py) every test fails because of compiling error:

"compiling ...
FAILED! file not found ..."

Note: compilation isn't performed from the runtests.py despite of successful compiling in a standalone way. also there's no compiling info (output) in verbose mode during runtests.py executing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set all required environment variables
2. change runtests.py line 283
cputype={'i386':'x86','i686':'x86','Power Macintosh':'ppc'}[platform.machine()]
to
cputype='x86'
(see bug 418640)
3. run runtests.py
Actual Results:  
1 test output example:

1812 running .\as3\AbcDecoder\accessSpecifiers.as 
compiling accessSpecifiers.as java -jar c:\Tamarin\tamarin-central\utils\asc.jar -import c:\Tamarin\tamarin-central\core\builtin.abc -in .\shell.as -in .\as3\AbcDecoder\accessSpecifiers\varsDef.as .\as3\AbcDecoder\accessSpecifiers.as FAILED! file not found .\as3\AbcDecoder\accessSpecifiers.abc 
C:\Tamarin\tamarin-central\platform\win32\obj_8\shell\Debug_Debugger\avmplus_sd.exe .\as3\AbcDecoder\accessSpecifiers.abc FAILED passes:0 fails:1 unexpected passes: 0 expected failures: 0 



I think, the source of the problem is run_pipe(cmd) method. It doesn't spawn process properly, so being returned output is empty.

The problem is solved by using subprocess.call(...).

PS problem occurs when using pythons 2.4.3 & 2.5.1

Must be run via cygwin.
