• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

When I ran test-webkitpy --all today, I got the following error:

atlas:WebKit dbates$ Tools/Scripts/test-webkitpy --all
test-webkitpy: INFO     Suppressing most webkitpy logging while running unit tests.
test-webkitpy: WARNING  You are testing webkitpy with a Python version (2.6.1) higher than the minimum version (2.5) it was meant to support.
test-webkitpy: WARNING  Skipping tests in Tools/QueueStatusServer due to failure (No module named dev_appserver).  This module is optional.  The failure is likely due to a missing Google AppEngine install.  (http://code.google.com/appengine/downloads.html)

Patch (reference checkout module in parent directory)

I was not sure whether to remove the "from .checkout import Checkout" (since it's imported in <http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/checkout/__init__.py?rev=85452>) or to change it to read "from ..checkout import Checkout" (so that it references the module which is in our parent directory. I mean, we seem to explicitly import modules even though they appear in a __init__.py. For example, in scm_unittests.py we import from module detection, git, and svn even though these identical imports are in <http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/checkout/scm/__init__.py?rev=85449> (why?)

What is the best practice for this?

[Alternative] Patch (remove explicit import of checkout module)

Alternative patch to remove the explicit import of the checkout module in scm_unittests.py since we import it when checkout/__init__.py is processed.

This one is better.  Really we shouldn't be importing it in __init__, but that's another story.
