Can't run tests from source using python 2.7

[srikanth-viswanathan]

Can't run tests from source. I do:

git clone https://github.com/linkedin/simoorg.git
cd simoorg
python setup.py test

This is what I see on Ubuntu 14.04 running python 2.7:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~/simoorg$ python setup.py test

Hey Srikanth,
Try using nosetests to test the package, you will need to run the command
python2.7 setup.py nosetests
(Though looks like there are some tests that needs to be fixed , I will start working on getting those fixed and update the document to reflect the use of nosetests instead of test )

[srikanth-viswanathan]

@sarathsreedharan Thanks. nosetests does actually run the tests. Not all tests pass, however. Should we keep this issue open to track that? The original reason I entered this ticket was so I could verify all tests passed before attempting to contribute a patch elsewhere in the simoorg code.

[sarathsreedharan]

Yes, let's keep the issue open till we fix all the tests

Hi Sarath,

I am going to merge this pull request, if that's ok.

Thanks,

python setup.py test then i got this:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/test/regrtest.py", line 183, in
for module in sys.modules.itervalues():
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration

Hey Anh,
Like I mentioned previously could you try to use 'python2.7 setup.py nosetests', instead of just 'python setup.py test' that should help you run the actual unittests, meanwhile I will open a ticket to get the change reflected in the documents also.
