[Buildbot-devel] Anyone else running tryPatch tests succesfully on windows?

[Marcus Lindblom]

Hi all,

I've had constant errors on the tryPatch test for all supported VCs 
(svn, cvs, darcs, mercurial, git) on my Vista x64 computer, and I've 
managed to cobble together a fix by doing something a bit backwards, 
namely replacing \r\n with \n.

Dustin was rightfully a bit confused by the fix, and as am I now that I 
think about it, so I'd like to rule out it being my computer and all. 
(I'm using git's patch.exe at the moment.)

So, it would be great if someone else could test the test_vc.py on 
Windows and see if it works, and also apply the fix posted on #400, and 
see if it helps or hinders?

See http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/400.

The strange thing is that I've did use the try functionaliy successfully 
on buildbot 0.7.7 with SVN a year ago, so I'm not sure if it's the tests 
or the code.

It could also be that we set things up with unix newlines, but the diff 
tools generate \r\n.

Grateful for all input. :)

Cheers,
/Marcus

P.S. If we sort this out, the vc-test suite's Windows performance has 
gotten some much needed TLC and will be in pretty good shape for the 
future. Yay!
