Description Dmitry Smirnov 2015-07-10 02:46:31 UTC 
On Debian "testing" `make check` fails in "runTests.py" due to unknown module "unittest_support".

"src/optional/python-bindings/tests/runTests.py.log" contains:

~~~~
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 235246

  • File "./runTests.py", line 12 in <module> 
    from test_split import TestSplit
  • File "/mnt/tmpssd/src/gnucash/gnucash-2.6.7/src/optional/python-bindings/tests/test_split.py", line 4 in <module> 
    from unittest_support import *
ImportError: No module named unittest_support 
~~~~

I can't find "unittest_support" anywhere. Any hints please?

Are you trying to build maint or master branch?

Have you looked in src/test-core/ ?
Comment 2 Dmitry Smirnov 2015-07-10 08:59:47 UTC 
I'm building v2.6.7. I had a look into `src/test-core/` but could not find "unittest_support" Python module there. Please advise.
Comment 3 John Ralls 2015-07-10 18:26:15 UTC 
It's a built file, so it should be in ${top_builddir}/src/test-core. If it isn't something's gone wrong with your build and you need to examine that.
Comment 4 John Ralls 2015-07-10 21:32:40 UTC 
Nope, I'm mistaken: It's a built file only if BUILD_FROM_VCS is enabled and it's not included in distfiles. Guess you're the first person ever to try to run make check with --enable-python from the tarball, it's been that way since before 2.5.
Comment 5 Dmitry Smirnov 2015-07-10 22:13:39 UTC 
Thanks, John.
We did not encounter this problem earlier because until yesterday Debian package was not running "make check" tests... :(

Nice to be the first one who tried but a little scary too. :)
Comment 6 John Ralls 2015-07-10 22:41:03 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. For 2.6.7 you can either ignore the problem like you have for the previous 7 releases or you can SWIG src/test-core to build it.
Comment 7 Dmitry Smirnov 2015-07-10 23:02:43 UTC 
Nice. I just want to note that I was not ignoring the problem for 7 releases -- I was unaware of it. Besides is always useful when you can mention changeset ID. ;)
