[py-dev] py.test --looponfailing IOError

[Matthew Edwards]

Hi

I'm running py 0.9.1 (from tarfile) on Windows XP. I've written a
couple of simple tests, which are in a folder called test. Whenever I
do "py.test --looponfailing test/" I get the following output:


inserting into sys.path: C:\Program Files\Python\Lib\site-packages
* opening PopenGateway:  C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.outfile.write(data)
IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

I can run the tests without --looponfailing.

Any help appreciated
