Test results are language dependent

[jorgearevalo]

When I execute make check after building postgis, some test appear as failed test because my enviroment is in spanish, and the expected results are always in english.

I'd find useful to warn user of this unclear fact before executing test suite.

It should be easy to fix by temporarily resetting shell locale to C

[pramsey]

Can you test this Jorge? Since you have easy access to a machine that already has a non-'C' locale

[jorgearevalo]

Sure thing!

$ export LANG=C
$ make check
(…)
Run tests: 46
Failed: 0
$ export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8

I don't know if it's the best way, but it works for me. Maybe I should detect the previous value of LANG and then restore it.

Replying to jorgearevalo:

Sure thing!

$ export LANG=C
$ make check
(…)
Run tests: 46
Failed: 0
$ export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8

I don't know if it's the best way, but it works for me. Maybe I should detect the previous value of LANG and then restore it.

Sorry, it's

LC_ALL=C

and

LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8

Instead of LANG.

I added in a 'C' setting in run_test, can you check that trunk at r4815 works?

[mloskot]

I confirm nothing has got broken for me, everything works here. Thanks Paul!

[jorgearevalo]

Thanks Paul! I have the lang problem solved. Now I have a test failed. The wmsservers test. I don't know if it's related. This is the diff (really difficult to find the differences in lines preceded by !):
