[PkgEval] Gadfly may have a testing issue on Julia 0.3 (2014-09-26)

[IainNZ]

PackageEvaluator.jl is a script that runs nightly. It attempts to load all Julia packages and run their tests (if available) on both the stable version of Julia (0.3) and the nightly build of the unstable version (0.4). The results of this script are used to generate a package listing enhanced with testing results.

On Julia 0.3

• On 2014-09-25 the testing status was Tests pass.
• On 2014-09-26 the testing status changed to Tests fail, but package loads.

Tests pass. means that PackageEvaluator found the tests for your package, executed them, and they all passed.

Tests fail, but package loads. means that PackageEvaluator found the tests for your package, executed them, and they didn't pass. However, trying to load your package with using worked.

This issue was filed because your testing status became worse. No additional issues will be filed if your package remains in this state, and no issue will be filed if it improves. If you'd like to opt-out of these status-change messages, reply to this message saying you'd like to and @IainNZ will add an exception. If you'd like to discuss PackageEvaluator.jl please file an issue at the repository. For example, your package may be untestable on the test machine due to a dependency - an exception can be added.

[IainNZ]

Apologies for truncated log, I've made it show 20 lines more from now on.

[IainNZ]

It also fails on 0.4

[dcjones]

The version I tagged yesterday had a bug, which I fixed immediately afterwards. So I'm pretty sure this is fixed. I'll tag a new version today.

[dcjones]

P.S. If anyone has a cool git hook trick to prevent me from tagging broken versions, do let me know. It seems I can't be trusted to not break Gadfly immediately before tagging a new version. :frown:

If Pkg.tag prompted you to run the tests before tagging, then aborted if they failed, that would be pretty slick.

[timholy]

Been there myself. I've had a couple of "'doh!" commits in Images lately, although I don't think they got immortalized by a tag. Still, not good. I think it's the excitement of knowing that you know how to fix the bug, you want to share that with the whole world...
