[issue1475] test_popen fails when the directory contains a space
|
|
Russ Gibson <russg[at]rnstech.com> added the comment:
(Same comment I added to 1559298:)
What is needed is separate quoting for the command and the argument.
Right now, test_popen only surrounds the entire command line with quotes:
"c:\Program Files\Python2.6\Python.exe -u c:\Documents and Settings\Russ
Gibson\cgi-bin\cgi.py"
It needs to test the above as thus:
"c:\Program Files\Python2.6\Python.exe" -u "c:\Documents and
Settings\Russ Gibson\cgi-bin\cgi.py"
>From the command line, the second case works, but the first doesn't.
Neither work from os.popen in 2.6.2. I have been unable to get popen*
to work with a command and an argument that both contain spaces.
To make sure that popen works in all cases under windows, test_popen*
needs to test with separate quotes around the command and argument.
That will show the real problem with the current os.popen*
implementation(s).
(yeah, I know, shut up and provide a patch...)
