Test Failures on Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run "python manage.py test" on standard app-engine-helper

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is all tests completing successfully.

The actual output is 7 failed tests from commands_test.py. All of them fail
with a message stating that "%1 is not a valid win32 application".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
appengine_helper_for_django-r30, Windows XP, python 2.5

Please provide any additional information below.

It appears that out of the box you cannot call subprocess.Popen on a py
file directly. A simple change to add python as the executable will work on
windows:

    child = subprocess.Popen(["python", "./manage.py", command] + args,
stdin=infd,
                             stdout=fd, stderr=fd, cwd=os.getcwdu())

this of course requires that python is also in the path. If this is changed
 then there is still an error with the test "testRunserver(self)" because
os.kill is not implemented in python on Windows. 

Also, testLoadData is defined twice in that file.

Okay I suck. I didn't look for issues already submitted. Though I appear to 
offer a
little more information than previous post.

Also observe such errors on fresh install, but number of failed tests is 19:
See attached file..

I am also getting 7 failed tests. 

Workaround mentioned didnt work for me.

Any other pointers?

Try the following will fix the os.kill issue.

should at least put a pointer to this issue in the docs ( 
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/appengine_helper_for_django.html ) in 
the 'verifiy your environment' section. 

otherwise, everyone who tries that command on windows will run into problems...

This is the errormessage when I run a newly created evironment with 

python manage.py test

Same issue with me. Exactly 7 errors. Too bad, I already created a new issue 
for it 
withoug looking at the existing one. Sorry for that.

I suggest that Issue 162 be merged in; I experience both issues when I run 
python manage.py test.

I agree with dennisf: the documentation should be updated to include a warning 
about this. In addition, the instructions for packaging django should note that 
the test directory is required for running python manage.py test.
