Test failure on OSX #9071

kartikkumar · 2014-11-19T23:51:20Z

Hi all,

I'm not sure when this problem started but I was facing some issues with OpenBLAS being loaded correctly, so I removed and reinstalled Julia and all dependencies using Homebrew and ran the test suite, resulting in the following error:

Can't really figure out what's wrong. Anybody suggestions on how to fix this?

Which version of Julia is this?

kartikkumar · 2014-11-20T03:25:14Z

0.3.2 it seems. That's what my Homebrew has updated to.

tkelman · 2014-11-21T00:11:19Z

That's a really odd one. Hooray for Base.runtests(), but dunno what exactly is happening. Would you be willing to try a source build of the release-0.3 branch to see whether this is reproducible with a non-homebrew build? That might help narrow things down.

kartikkumar · 2014-11-21T02:45:43Z

I built 0.3.2 from the release page and ran all the tests again and the error still persists. Does that mean that there's a config problem on my end? I'm running 10.8.5; dunno if something got changed recently in the lineedit test that means it's not compatible with older OS X versions:

tkelman · 2014-11-21T02:50:35Z

@kartikkumar thanks that's useful. Did you do it from a git checkout or the tarball? If you did it from git, it would be useful (and much faster than the first time around, since the dependencies can all be reused) to try with the latest commit in the release-0.3 branch, since we're considering tagging 0.3.3 within the next few days. The REPL code has seen some recent patches, but I feel like we would've seen this earlier if it happened on a larger portion of macs.

kartikkumar · 2014-11-21T02:51:09Z

My bad, looks like the symlink in /usr/local/bin was still to the Homebrew version. I ran it with the build generated from source and the problem still persists:

kartikkumar · 2014-11-21T02:52:50Z

@tkelman I used the tarball, but I can run it again with a git clone of the latest version of release-0.3. I'll get the build up and running and report back if the problem persists.

tkelman · 2014-11-21T03:11:15Z

Sounds good. Looks like line 142 has something to do with unicode combining characters

julia/test/lineedit.jl

Line 142 in e58d214

let buf = IOBuffer()

so this could also be related to utf8proc, or maybe something with your OS locale settings or libraries? Not positive. Are you running Julia under any unusual terminal setup? It could also help to run through that section of test/lineedit.jl manually in the REPL to see what position(buf) is ending up as. You'll probably need to manually do using Base.Test first.

edit: relevant section might just be

buf = IOBuffer()
Base.LineEdit.edit_insert(buf, "â")
Base.LineEdit.edit_move_left(buf)
position(buf)

kartikkumar · 2014-11-21T03:20:26Z

No I don't have anything unusual under my terminal setup afaik. I pretty much install everything these days with Homebrew, so I don't tinker around in general with too many other settings.

I think it's maybe worth looking at the commit history for test/lineedit.jl, since this is a problem that I think is fairly recent. There might be some hints in the commit history as to what introduced the problem. I'll take a look and see if I can spot anything by running it through the REPL, though I'm travelling at the moment, so don't have a lot of time on my hands. Hopefully someone can spot the issue.

tkelman · 2014-11-21T03:48:13Z

On the release-0.3 branch, test/lineedit.jl and base/LineEdit.jl have changed very little since August, so I feel like we would've seen this by now on someone else's Mac if it weren't specific to your computer in some way. I could easily be wrong though, if anyone can reproduce on a different computer.

kartikkumar · 2014-11-21T03:58:15Z

Yea so rebuilding with the latest commit on release-0.3 results in the same error. So I'm guessing it's something specific to my machine. I'm way in over my head though to be able to debug this. I don't really even know what the specific test pertains to in terms of functionality. Is it something that I have to be worried about, or is it something I can comfortably ignore whilst writing Julia code?

tkelman · 2014-11-21T04:07:14Z

Hm, thanks for trying that. Your REPL might do strange things with respect to unicode combining characters, I'm not sure. Is this a really old Mac that's gone through several OSX version upgrades by any chance? Have you reinstalled the latest xcode command line tools? Sometimes those will update system libraries that may have something to do with unicode support, but I'm not really a Mac guy so I'm not positive.

I made a post edit above which doesn't trigger an email notification so you maybe didn't notice. Can you try running

buf = IOBuffer()
Base.LineEdit.edit_insert(buf, "â")
Base.LineEdit.edit_move_left(buf)
position(buf)

and tell me what the output is for position(buf)?

kartikkumar · 2014-11-21T04:26:51Z

It's not that old. It's a mid-2013 Macbook Air. I have the latest XCode command line tools installed.

Here's the REPL output:

julia> buf = IOBuffer()
IOBuffer(data=Uint8[...], readable=true, writable=true, seekable=true, append=false, size=0, maxsize=Inf, ptr=1, mark=-1)

julia> Base.LineEdit.edit_insert(buf, "â")
3

julia> Base.LineEdit.edit_move_left(buf)
true

julia> position(buf)
1

tkelman · 2014-11-21T04:31:59Z

Paging our resident unicode experts @jiahao or @stevengj, any ideas what could cause this?

stevengj · 2014-11-21T15:16:52Z

Looks like #6939.

kartikkumar · 2014-11-21T15:22:16Z

@stevengj ah yes, guess it's the same issue. Should have scanned the issue list better before posting this.

tkelman · 2014-11-21T15:31:02Z

@kartikkumar github issue searching is notoriously difficult to use effectively, duplicates aren't the end of the world. I'm going to close this though since it is covered by other open issues.

jiahao · 2014-11-21T15:57:42Z

So we actually need this, huh. I guess I'll make time to review the status of JuliaStrings/utf8proc#2 next week.
