    Hi Jai,

Hello!



    The first step would be to remove the "override_dh_auto_test:"
    line in
    debian/rules. I inserted it so that the package would skip its
    testsuite
    as a preliminaly packaging effort, but it needs to be fixed. So
    remove
    that line, re-run the build, see what breaks and fix that until
    nothing
    breaks at all (and then we'll go on to debian/tests, which is a
    separate
    testsuite).


Noted , so we have to build package everytime ?
I mean it will be very time consuming .
There is no other option? :)

pbuilder caches the downloads, so builds are not that long. On my 5-year-old workstation, it took some time on the initial try because of the downloading of build-depends, but it now takes less than a minute on subsequent runs.

If it's still too long: I've been working on an abstraction layer to gbp called gwh (see https://salsa.debian.org/lolando/gwh). It automates many of the tasks for users of the gbp workflow, and adds some others. In this case, what I'd do is run gwh --shell-on-failure, which would set up the build then try it; once the build has failed you'll have a shell open inside the chroot, and you can then iterate running commands without the full build. For instance, you'd run "cd /build/python-playwright-1.55.0+ds/.pybuild/cpython3_3.14_playwright/build; python3.14 -m pytest tests", see where it breaks, fix it, and iterate.

Roland.

PS: I intend to push gwh to Debian proper sometime, just haven't found the time for it yet. I use it daily though.
