Tests fail when using libssh master

[adelton]

Hello,

when I build ssh-python against libssh master, test test_channel_exec fails.

In the https://github.com/ParallelSSH/ssh-python checkout directory I do

• rm -rf libssh && git clone git://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git --depth 1
• python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace
• python3 setup.py test --test-suite tests.test_channel.ChannelTest

The output ends with

WARNING: 'UsePAM no' is not supported in Fedora and may cause several problems.

All other tests pass.

This is on Fedora 29 with gcc-8.3.1-2.fc29.x86_64.

I tried to debug the failure a bit and it seems that the

rc = c_ssh.ssh_channel_read(self._channel, cbuf, size, is_stderr)

in ssh/channel.pyx returns -1 the second time it is called from tests/test_channel.py's test_channel_exec.

With the libssh/ content as shipped with ssh-python, the call returns 0 the second time it is called.

However, in my C-code which uses libssh, I still see 0 returned when I run ssh_channel_read after there is no more output -- so it seems like ssh-python sets something about the session or channel which causes the return to be -1.

I see the same test failure when I use the packaged libssh-0.8.7-1.fc29.x86_64 using

• rm -rf libssh # to make sure we are not using the embedded code
• SYSTEM_LIBSSH=1 python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace
• SYSTEM_LIBSSH=1 python3 setup.py test --test-suite tests.test_channel.ChannelTest

Hi there,

Thanks for the interest.

Hm, that is interesting. -1 is SSH_ERROR, so the code is correct as far as I can see. Channel.read only returns code from ssh_channel_read so there is nothing else happening in bindings code. Will need to take a look at debug output.

Doesn't error with 0.9.4.
