twisted

Full test suite

bullseye: same as buster and stretch, but python2 support was dropped, so only use trial3, not trial.

buster: same as stretch, but it checks for various libraries Debian ships older versions of. Quick&dirty fix:

rm src/Twisted.egg-info/requires.txt

stretch:

The package ships DEP-8 tests that run the test suite with Python 2 and 3, see autopkgtest.

Some Unicode test fails with Python 2 when ran through autopkgtest in a stretch VM (yet passes when run directly, and even on Salsa).

Manually / fine-grained:

apt install tox
cd twisted-16.6.0/
apt build-dep .
chown -R nonroot: .
# cf. README.rst
su nonroot -c 'tox -e py27-tests'
su nonroot -c 'tox -e py35-tests'
# TODO: add option/config to use system packages, considered missing

apt install python-twisted-core python3-twisted  # for 'trial' and 'trial3'
su nonroot -c 'PYTHONPATH=src/ trial twisted'  # python2
su nonroot -c 'PYTHONPATH=src/ trial3 twisted' # python3
su nonroot -c 'PYTHONPATH=src/ trial twisted.web'
su nonroot -c 'PYTHONPATH=src/ trial twisted.web.test.test_http'
su nonroot -c 'PYTHONPATH=src/ trial twisted.web.test.test_http.ParsingTests'

# DEP-8 tests do a variant like this, not suitable for source testing:
su nonroot -c 'python -m twisted.trial ./twisted/web/test/test_agent.py'
su nonroot -c 'python3 -m twisted.trial ./twisted/web/test/test_agent.py'
# Note: requires a twisted to be already installed system-wide
# Note: if in src/ some issue with catching warnings occurs and some tests fail
# Note: if not in src/ py3+twisted.trial will use the twisted from /usr/lib/

jessie:

cd twisted-14.0.2/
# cf. README
chown -R nonroot: .
su nonroot -c 'bin/trial twisted'
su nonroot -c 'bin/trial twisted.web'
su nonroot -c 'bin/trial twisted.web.test.test_http'
su nonroot -c 'bin/trial twisted.web.test.test_http.ParsingTestCase'

There are dozens of errors in the test suite. Among others, this stalls/timeouts during SSL tests AFAICS. Still it’s useful to test modules changes by the recent patches.

Smoke test

twisted-web:

apt install apache2  # for a sample /var/www/html/

twistd -n web --path /var/www/html/
twistd3 -n web --path /var/www/html/
