2026941 – python-lxml %check section runs 0 tests, which is treated as success

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Miro Hrončok 2021-11-26 14:47:06 UTC

Description of problem:
The latest build of python-lxml has:

Executing(%check): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.MiM182
+ umask 022
+ cd /builddir/build/BUILD
+ cd lxml-4.6.3
+ /usr/bin/python3 setup.py test
Building lxml version 4.6.3.
Building without Cython.

+ RPM_EC=0

This is dangerous. We better run the tests or remove the %check section.


Version-Release number of selected component:
python-lxml-4.6.3-3.el9

Steps to Reproduce: Build the pacakge.

Actual results:
Ran 0 tests in 0.000s, OK

Expected results:
Tests do run.

Additional info:
I am working on a Fedora fix, as the Fedora package is also affected.

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2021-11-26 15:24:42 UTC

Fedora fix included in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-lxml/pull-request/11 -- unfortunately not all tests pass :(

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2021-11-26 15:45:06 UTC

Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2021-12-01 10:37:45 UTC

This has been fixed. It has passed gating.

Comment 5 Miro Hrončok 2021-12-01 10:41:00 UTC

I have checked the build logs in brew on all architectures. The %check section looks like this on all of them (not an exact match obviously):

Executing(%check): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.QROPuy
+ umask 022
+ cd /builddir/build/BUILD
+ cd lxml-4.6.3
+ cp -a build/lib.linux-aarch64-3.9/lxml src/
+ /usr/bin/python3 test.py -vuf

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1931 tests in 4.698s
OK
Skipping tests in lxml.cssselect - external cssselect package is not installed
Comparing with ElementTree 1.3.0
TESTED VERSION: 4.6.3
    Python:           sys.version_info(major=3, minor=9, micro=9, releaselevel='final', serial=0)
    lxml.etree:       (4, 6, 3, 0)
    libxml used:      (2, 9, 12)
    libxml compiled:  (2, 9, 12)
    libxslt used:     (1, 1, 34)
    libxslt compiled: (1, 1, 34)
    FS encoding:      utf-8
    Default encoding: utf-8
    Max Unicode:      1114111
+ RPM_EC=0

Hence I would add Verified:Tested, but it was me who shipped the change.

Testing looks good, reported issue is fixed, setting Verified: Tested.
