Description (last modified by )
All doctests in Sage should pass when they are run as a user that does not have write access to the Sage install. To do that, run the doctests on a Sage install that isn't owned by the user:
$ ./sage -tp 4 --long devel/sage/doc/common devel/sage/doc/en devel/sage/sage
On sage-5.4.beta1, this causes:
The following tests failed: sage -t --long devel/sage/sage/interfaces/qepcad.py # 3 doctests failed sage -t --long devel/sage/sage/misc/inline_fortran.py # 3 doctests failed sage -t --long devel/sage/sage/tests/cmdline.py # 2 doctests failed
Apply:
- 5155_sage_location.patch to the scripts repository.
- 5155_root.patch to the
SAGE_ROOT
repository. - 5155_sagelib.patch to the Sage library.

Some of the doctest are ok nowadays but there are other new fails. See for example #9965
I can confirm that, with sage 4.5.3 I get the following doctest failures:
sage -t -long "devel/sage/doc/common/builder.py" sage -t -long "devel/sage/sage/interfaces/qepcad.py" sage -t -long "devel/sage/sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/ell_rational_field.py" sage -t -long "devel/sage/sage/modular/hecke/submodule.py" sage -t -long "devel/sage/sage/modular/abvar/abvar.py" sage -t -long "devel/sage/sage/lfunctions/sympow.py"
All except quecad are trying to be solved in #9965

Another issue, if you compile sage but the very first access of sage is made by a user without write permissions, you get the following error:

With Sage 4.7.2.alpha2, I see problems with qepcad and sympow. I think the qepcad problem should be easy to solve, basically as mhansen did before:

Sympow will be harder to deal with, because of how the spkg is written: it tries to write files to SAGE_LOCAL/lib/sympow. See http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9703#comment:9 for a possible fix.
I'm attaching a patch to try to deal with the situation when you run Sage for the very first time as a user without write permissions.
Finally, there may be other issues if you compile Sage but don't run it, and then run doctests as a user without write permissions (the first time doctests get run, they might write some files which don't need to be written later). These issues should be fixed, too.

I'm not sure this patch is a good idea or needed, considering #11926. If the Sage install was moved, it is probably good to bail out with an error if there is no write access.

A few quick comments:
- you have a typo in line 93, "eyactly"
- on line 583,
# optional - qepcad, note "algeraic" [sic]
, this is not the way to format an optional doctest: it will only run if you do "sage -t -optional-only=qepcad,not,algeraic,sic" or something like that. - same on line 1220
For the scripts patch:
- why not apply os.path.abspath to SAGE_ROOT?

Very true, thanks!
For the scripts patch:
- why not apply os.path.abspath to SAGE_ROOT?
Because SAGE_ROOT
is already canonicalized by realpath
at the top of that file:
SAGE_ROOT = os.path.realpath(os.environ['SAGE_ROOT'])

For the scripts patch: should there be any error checking when writing to files? If a sysadmin installs Sage, runs it once (to generate the appropriate files) and then moves it but doesn't run it again, it would be nice if other users got helpful error messages. One issue is the code
check_processor_flags() # Note: install_moved() may also run e.g. initialize_pkgconfig_files(). if install_moved(): print "The Sage installation tree may have moved" print "(from %s to %s)." % (OLD_SAGE_ROOT, SAGE_ROOT)
The problem is that check_processor_flags
and install_moved
already try to write to files, so if permissions are bad, the message about the installation tree may not get printed. I'm attaching a patch to apply on top of yours (basically wraps everything in a try...except block).
Also, as discussed at #11760, the alternate implementation (commented out) of searching for SAGE_ROOT using regular expressions was slower than the one currently used, so I just deleted the comments altogether.
I'll keep looking at your patch.
comment:20 follow-up: ↓ 21 Changed 11 years ago by
John, you are assuming a failure means that there was a problem was permissions. We should probably catch IOError
(and also OSError
perhaps?) and print the message which came with the exception.

IOError

I think that a permissions problem is the most likely issue. I've modified the patch a bit: if it looks like bad permissions, print a friendly error message. If it's an IOError
unrelated to permissions, explicitly raise the error. If it's some other kind of error, don't catch it at all, so it should get raised, too. You can test this by changing my patch: change the line
if e.strerror.find('Permission denied') != -1:
by changing !=
to ==
, or on the previous line, change IOError
to ValueError
or something else irrelevant. Move sage and make the directory unwriteable; then when you run sage, you should see the raw error message.

This seems to be fixed with these patches, so I'm putting it to needs_review.
However, this depends on so many other tickets, so it might be good to postpone the review and wait for the other tickets.

SAGE_LOCAL is a strange location for default.qepcadrc I suppose it really needs to be changed in the spkg first but SAGE_LOCAL/etc is a better location for this kind of file.

My only objection is the location of default.qepcadrc but since it is for an experimental spkg and would require another ticket to change it I am giving this a positive review. Moving the default.qepcadrc location should be the object of a follow up ticket.

I made a patch for the analogous problem for $HOME
at #13985. It would be nice if somebody could review that.
Before applying the patch, I get two doctest failures (with a non-writeable Sage install). Applying the patch "trac_5155.patch" fixes both. So positive review for that.
The scripts patch wasn't necessary to get those tests to pass, and it also doesn't apply cleanly to 4.3.1:
The changes there look fine in principle, though. So once it's rebased, positive review there, too.
