`dateutil.parser` was an optional dependency for CVS tests. It was failing on macOS
beacuse the dateutil types were not being installed, and mypy was failing *even when the
CVS tests were skipped*. This seems like it was an oversight on macOS --
`types-dateutil-parser` was not installed there, though it was on Linux unit tests.
It takes 6 lines of YAML and some weird test-skipping logic to get `python-dateutil` and
`types-python-dateutil` installed in all the tests where we need them, but it only takes
4 lines of code to write the date parser we need for CVS, so I just did that instead.
Note that CVS date format can vary from system to system, but it seems like it's always
pretty similar for the parts we care about.
- [x] Replace dateutil.parser with a simpler date regex
- [x] Lose the dependency on `dateutil.parser`
* Force the Python interpreter with an env variable
This commit forces the Python interpreter with an
environment variable, to ensure that the Python set
by the "setup-python" action is the one being used.
Due to the policy adopted by Spack to prefer python3
over python we may end up picking a Python 3.X
interpreter where Python 2.7 was meant to be used.
* Revert "Update conftest.py (#24473)"
This reverts commit 477c8ce820.
* Make python-dateutil a soft dependency for unit tests
Before #23212 people could clone spack and run
```
spack unit-tests
```
while now this is not possible, since python-dateutil is
a required but not vendored dependency. This change makes
it not a hard requirement, i.e. it will be used if found
in the current interpreter.
* Workaround mypy complaint
Spack packages can now fetch versions from CVS repositories. Note
this fetch mechanism is unsafe unless using :extssh:. Most public
CVS repositories use an insecure protocol implemented as part of CVS.
This adds RHEL8's `/usr/libexec/platform-python` to Spack's list of preferred
pythons. It will only be used if no other `python` is available in the `PATH`.
We have been testing with this python for a while now, and it seems to do all
that we need. If Spack one day isn't able to work with it, we'll take it out,
but for now it is useful to allow Spack to be used on RHEL8 without a dedicated
`python` installation.
Clingo has been released on PyPI, so there
are no more concerns on our CI depending
on pypy.test for installing the wheel.
Apparently we have parts of Spack which
are not compatible with kcov > 3.4
* QA: reduce number of unit tests for jobs not in the matrix
* Fixup for CentOS6 dependencies
* Put correct conditions back in place
* Add dependency on changes
PRs that change only package recipes will only run tests under "package_sanity.py" and without coverage. This should result in a huge drop the cpu-time spent in CI for most PRs.
* unit tests: mark slow tests as "maybeslow"
This commit also removes the "network" marker and
marks every "network" test as "maybeslow". Tests
marked as db are maintained, but they're not slow
anymore.
* GA: require style tests to pass before running unit-tests
* GA: make MacOS unit tests fail fast
* GA: move all unit tests into the same workflow, run style tests as a prerequisite
All the unit tests have been moved into the same workflow so that a single
run of the dorny/paths-filter action can be used to ask for coverage based
on the files that have been changed in a PR. The basic idea is that for PRs
that introduce only changes to packages coverage is not necessary, this
resulting in a faster execution of the tests.
Also, for package only PRs slow unit tests are skipped.
Finally, MacOS and linux unit tests are now conditional on style tests passing
meaning that e.g. we won't waste a MacOS worker if we know that the PR has
flake8 issues.
* Addressed review comments
* Skipping slow tests on MacOS for package only recipes
* QA: make tests on changes correct before merging
