#7305: T5975a is broken on Windows -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: simonmar | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Test Suite | Version: 7.6.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by ezyang): It appears that it is not sufficient to just convert the pre_cmd/post_cmd to accept a Unicode string, as this breaks when using `os.system`, because Python attempts to transcode to ASCII. So we should convert everything to use subprocess/spawnv instead (both of which support Unicode), probably by manually invoking the shell we want. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7305#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
