[Bug 1167745] Re: autopkgtest failure: testStdin failed if stdin is redirected

[Matthias Klose]

why do you think this is an error in the test case? From my point of
view it is wrong to run the tests with stdin redirected to /dev/null.

Title:
  autopkgtest failure: testStdin failed if stdin is redirected

Status in “autopkgtest” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  testStdin from the python2.7 regression testsuite failed when run with
  autopkgtest [1] with the error below because adt-run redirects stdin
  to /dev/null

  ======================================================================
  FAIL: testStdin (test.test_file2k.OtherFileTests)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/test/test_file2k.py", line 232, in testStdin
      self.assertRaises(IOError, sys.stdin.seek, -1)
  AssertionError: IOError not raised

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  This is reproducible from the command line with:
   $ python2.7 -E -Wd -3 -E -tt /usr/lib/python2.7/test/regrtest.py -w test_file2k </dev/null
