Bug 59997 – webkitpy has weird layering problems now that break test-webkitpy on win32, cause other problems

• Status: NEW
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Dirk Pranke]

I'm not sure if this was introduced by Eric's refactoring of scm and net/bugzilla, or has been broken longer, but

1) I can no longer run test-webkitpy inside a win32 cmd shell

2) I can no longer run specific subsets of the tests by hand, e.g., using 'test-webkitpy webkitpy.common.net.bugzilla.bugzilla_unittest'

3) I can't directly import common.net.bugzilla ; we seem to get circular references. The output is:

    from webkitpy.common.net.bugzilla import parse_bug_id_from_changelog
ImportError: cannot import name parse_bug_id_from_changelog

We appear to have a circular import.

I'm not sure why test-webkitpy is working on non-win32 ports, but I'm guessing they happen to load the test files in a particular order that allows things to work.

I broke it.  Checkout should not depend on net.  parse_bug_id_from_changelog probably needs to move to changelog.py, probably as a member function.
