New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: Some tests create directories with disabled writing or even reading and listing. If them fail test.support.rmtree() can't remove such directories. This cause failures in other tests.
Proposed patch makes test.support.rmtree() able to remove such directories. If some operation fails it try to change the mode of corresponding directory and repeat the try. ---------- components: Tests files: test-support-rmtree.patch keywords: patch messages: 280575 nosy: ezio.melotti, michael.foord, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Make test.support.rmtree() able to remove non-writable directories type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file45443/test-support-rmtree.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28666> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
