[New-bugs-announce] [issue31380] test_undecodable_filename() in Lib/test/test_httpservers.py broken on APFS

[Jack Howarth]

New submission from Jack Howarth:

The Python 3.x test suite produces a new regression on macOS 10.13 under the new APFS filesystem when executing the test_undecodable_filename() test from Lib/test/test_httpservers.py. The error appears as...

======================================================================

"""
APFS accepts only valid UTF-8 encoded filenames for creation, and preserves both case and normalization of the filename on disk in all variants..

Some differences between how APFS and HFS+ handle filenames include the following:
...
        • APFS doesn’t allow files to be created with filenames that contain unassigned codepoints in the Unicode 9.0 standard, whereas HFS+ does.
