twisted.words.test.test_xpath.XPathTests.test_position

This is an unrelated test. I'm not sure if this is a simple copy/paste mistake or if you're mis-reading trial output. This is the test before the test that failed.

The test that failed is named at the bottom of the failure report:

twisted.trial._dist.test.test_disttrial.DistTrialRunnerTestCase.test_runUntilFailure

This test has intermittently failed on Windows since disttrial was merged into trunk.

The ticket tracking this problem is https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/6027

[FAIL]

----------

On my local computer (Ubuntu 14.04) the test is always skipped.

The skip report should tell you why it's skipped. Presumably you're missing one of the dependencies - though off the top of my head I'm not sure what third-party dependencies this code has.
Does anyone has any idea why the test is not skipped ?

The default state of a test should *not* be to skip. It should be to run. A skipped test is a useless test.

I would like to have stable results from this tests as with the
current state I always have to double check if a failure on XP is a
new one or is just this bad tests.

Thanks!
