[SciPy-dev] FYI on meaning of 'Test Completed' on Download/Scoreboard pages of SciPy.org

[David C. Morrill]

Just a quick note on the meaning of 'Test Completed' in the 'Test Results'
column of the new Download and Scoreboard pages on the scipy.org web site.

'Test Completed' means that the test phase of the build process completed
successfully, but the build process was not able to locate the result
information (i.e. number of tests run, failures, errors) in the build log.
It currently locates the result information using a regular expression, so
unexpected changes in the message format may cause it to break (which is
what is happening now).

I'm looking into a fix for this (both short term and long term) right now.

In the meantime, you can still examine the build logs via the web pages to
see the actual test results.

So the bad news is that the 'Test Results' fields is currently partially
'broken'.

The good news is that what broke it appears to be a number of CVS check-ins
by Travis Oliphant that eliminated all of the test failures that were
occuring. So, all-in-all, a big net positive I think. Thanks Travis!.
