[Scons-dev] Tests fails

[Managan, Rob]

Hi,

On OSX 10.7.5 I get this:

ls /proc/$$/fd | wc -l
ls: /proc/97956/fd: No such file or directory
       0

So it appears that item 2 below is the culprit.

On the OSX one, it looks like you don't have SWIG and RANLIB installed and it's not recognising that it hasn't. I seem to remember having to install a lot of software on my linux (Ubuntu) box in order to get the tests to run clean. If that's the case, I'd imagine it's a bug really.

The leaky-handles test is possibly an issue with OSX not behaving quite like other linuxes. In order to detect how many handles are open in a forked subshell, it runs
ls /proc/$$/fd | wc -l

and expects that to return 3 (stdin, stdout, stderr). If it doesn't, then either
1) python isn't closing files in a child process properly
2) OSX doesn't have a proc/<pid>/fd directory
3) OSX has other standard handles.
4) I've written the test wrong and it doesn't gracefully exit for non posix systems.

I don't have access to an OSX system so I can't really tell, though if it (os.name) returns 'posix' that should work.

Cheers

TT
