This is a test for a fix in buffering of output from a layer in a subprocess.
Prior to the change that this tests, output from within a test layer in a
subprocess would be buffered. This could wreak havoc on supervising processes
(or human) that would kill a test run if no output was seen for some period of
time.
First, we wrap stdout with an object that instruments it. It notes the time at
which a given line was written.
>>> import os, sys, datetime
>>> class RecordingStreamWrapper:
... def __init__(self, wrapped):
... self.record = []
... self.wrapped = wrapped
... def write(self, out):
... self.record.append((out, datetime.datetime.now()))
... self.wrapped.write(out)
... def flush(self):
... self.wrapped.flush()
...
>>> sys.stdout = RecordingStreamWrapper(sys.stdout)
Now we actually call our test. If you open the file to which we are referring
here (zope/testing/testrunner-ex/sampletests_buffering.py) you will see two test
suites, each with its own layer that does not know how to tear down. This
forces the second suite to be run in a subprocess.
That second suite has two tests. Both sleep for half a second each.
>>> directory_with_tests = os.path.join(this_directory, 'testrunner-ex')
>>> from zope.testing import testrunner
>>> defaults = [
... '--path', directory_with_tests,
... ]
>>> argv = [sys.argv[0],
... '-vv', '--tests-pattern', '^sampletests_buffering.*']
>>> try:
... testrunner.run_internal(defaults, argv)
... record = sys.stdout.record
... finally:
... sys.stdout = sys.stdout.wrapped
...

False
Now we actually check the results we care about. We should see that there are
two pauses of about half a second, one around the first test and one around the
second. Before the change that this test verifies, there was a single pause of
more than a second after the second suite ran.
>>> pause = datetime.timedelta(seconds=0.3)
>>> last_line, last_time = record.pop(0)
>>> for line, time in record:
... if time-last_time >= pause:
... # We paused!
... print 'PAUSE FOUND BETWEEN THESE LINES:'
... print ''.join([last_line, line, '-'*70])
... last_line, last_time = line, time
... # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
PAUSE FOUND BETWEEN THESE LINES:...
Running:
test_something (sampletests_buffering.TestSomething2)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PAUSE FOUND BETWEEN THESE LINES:
test_something (sampletests_buffering.TestSomething2)
test_something2 (sampletests_buffering.TestSomething2)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because this is a test based on timing, it may be somewhat fragile. However,
on a relatively slow machine, this timing works out fine; I'm hopeful that this
test will not be a source of spurious errors. If it is, we will have to
readdress.
Now let's do the same thing, but with multiple processes at once. We'll get
a different result that has similar characteristics.
>>> sys.stdout = RecordingStreamWrapper(sys.stdout)
>>> argv.extend(['-j', '2'])
>>> try:
... testrunner.run_internal(defaults, argv)
... record = sys.stdout.record
... finally:
... sys.stdout = sys.stdout.wrapped

False
Notice that, with a -vv (or greater) verbosity, the parallel test run includes
a progress report to keep track of tests run in the various layers. Because
the actual results are saved to be displayed assembled in the original test
order, the progress report shows up before we are given the news that the
testrunner is starting Layer2. This is counterintuitive, but lets us keep the
primary reporting information for the given layer in one location, while also
giving us progress reports that can be used for keepalive analysis by a human or
automated agent. In particular for the second point, notice below that, as
before, the progress output is not buffered.
>>> last_line, last_time = record.pop(0)
>>> for line, time in record:
... if time-last_time >= pause:

Fake an IOError reading the output of the subprocess to exercise the
