Unit tests under Windows partly fail

[Cryspia]

By running

python setup.py test

under Windows, we get 12 failures.
Here is the full output of the test:

Does this repository fix the database test failures? https://github.com/wigglier/freeseer/tree/484-unit-test-and-refactor

Thanks for the suggestion @wigglier. @promm you can get that branch like this

git checkout -b 484-unit-test-and-refactor master
git pull git@github.com:wigglier/freeseer.git 484-unit-test-and-refactor

This is the result after adding the change set.

======== 35 failed, 213 passed, 1 skipped, 1 xfailed in 22.35 seconds =========

The detailed doc can be seen: http://promm.github.io/freeseer/doc/freeseer_test_after619.txt
Since this change set has modified lots of test cases, I may not be able to help fixing the errors before this PR has been merged. But I can offer the test results on Windows if any changes has been made.

The ElementNotFound errors sounds like you're missing GStreamer plugins which will be resolved once you install the missing plugins. One of the plugins at least is the "rtmpsink" plugin.

The "/tmp" value error is failing because something in the config code is hardcoding a Unix path which is invalid for Windows we should be using Python's tmpdir module.

I'm not sure what's the cause of the "AssertionError: False is not true" errors but they seem to be coming from the framework/config module.

The "assert talk_id == '1'" coming from the test test_get_presentation_id is failing likely because of the config situation mentioned earlier with the hardcoded paths that are invalid on Windows.

The "assert ['Title,Speak...,EndTime\r\n'] == ['Title,Speake...fault,,,\r\n']" error is because you updated the code and didn't clear your ~/.freeseer configuration directory. Looks like someone changed the database format so you need to clear the configuration files to reset the database (or just clear the database file). All of the database related errors are probably due to this.

The youtube test code

        expected = {
            'client_secrets': '{}/.freeseer/client_secrets.json'.format(home),
            'video_directory': '{}/Videos'.format(home),
            'oauth2_token': '{}/.freeseer/oauth2_token.json'.format(home)
        }

Is hardcoded with Unix style system paths, we should be using os.path.join in Python here so that it's cross platform compatible.

It looks like all the database issues are failing because the QSQLITE driver cannot be loaded in
framework/database.py:

        self.talkdb = QtSql.QSqlDatabase.addDatabase("QSQLITE")

I am looking for a solution, but I am not having luck.

edit:

>>> from PyQt4 import QtSql
>>> QtSql.QSqlDatabase.isDriverAvailable('QSQLITE')
True

@promm do you get the above output from running the two commands in your Python interpretter?

[Cryspia]

@zxiiro
I installed the gstreamer from the official site, so I do not know why that plugin is missing. Is "rtmpsink" a plugin supported by Windows?
I have cleaned the ~/.freeseer folder and tried again, but it is still the same number of errors.

[zxiiro]

One of our previous students worked on getting the rtmp plugin working on Windows. See:

[SRomansky]

@promm Do you have the QSQLITE driver? I don't see it listed as a dependency in the Windows development setup guide, but it is listed in the linux setup guide as libqt4-sql-sqlite

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/sql-driver.html#qsqlite
http://www.sqlite.org/download.html

[Cryspia]

@wigglier I am not sure about that, since I only installed the packages that are listed on the web page. I will try it again after installing that.

[dideler]

@promm if you scroll up, you'll see some commands that @wigglier posted in his edit to check if you have the driver.

[Cryspia]

@dideler @wigglier
I got a False. Seems that I do not have the driver on Windows.

[Cryspia]

@dideler @wigglier
Actually I do have a "qsqlite4.dll" under PyQt4/plugins/sqldrivers. It should be the driver that is required. But I still get false from the code.

[Cryspia]

@zxiiro Do I need to svn the ossbuild onto my local machine and build it with the patch he gave?
I do not have Visual Studio on my computer, so I am afraid that I cannot build it.
Besides, I have a question that if this plugin is not in the standard build, should we still use it?

[zxiiro]

I don't know why they don't automatically include it in the Windows release but on Linux it's part of gstreamer-bad-plugins (maybe this is why?). Anyway this is a plugin we are already supporting so removing support for it doesn't make sense at this point and video streaming capabilities was one of our most requested features.

If you don't have Visual Studio to build that's ok, just ignore this plugin then I would't expect you to spend too much time spinning your wheels on getting a VS environment setup this late in the year. Maybe we can but a check for this plugin when run on Windows systems and skip it during testing?

[Cryspia]

@zxiiro
OK for me. Can you tell me how to skip the test?

[dideler]

@promm http://pytest.org/latest/skipping.html

[Cryspia]

@dideler
Do I need to create a PR for that or just do a local change?

[dideler]

You'll need to open a new PR to close this issue.

[Cryspia]

@dideler
The “test_plugins.py" which causes that error is using "unittest" module. Do I need to change it to "pytest" before I skip the test?

[dideler]

@wigglier already switched it to use pytest in #642, I'll try to get that merged today after work. Please remind me if I forget.

[Cryspia]

@dideler
Just a reminder of merging #642

[dideler]

Thanks. Just getting #642 merge-ready now, discovered a few things that still needed to be fixed.
