[Flickrfs-users] status of tests, and unicode bug

[<rdm...@bi...>]

OK, so I've got the tests to a point where I think I'm comfortable
starting the refactoring work.  The only thing I haven't done that I
want/need is to test uploading an image with non-ASCII chars.  I tried
such a test, but I got a UnicodeDecodeError during the .encode('utf8')
step, which makes no sense to me from anything I've read in the python
docs or from google.  Maybe I didn't write the test correctly (you can
see what I tried, commented out, in the test file).

Can someone with unicode/UTF8 experience check this out and see if you
can find the fix?

Also, I've got some other lines commented out in the tests.  I expected
that after I uploaded the test image it would show up in tags/personal
like it shows up in /stream.  But it didn't.  One time I forgot to delete
the test image before the next run, and that time it _did_ show up.
So at this point I'm assuming its non-appearance is due to some sort
of processing delay at the flickr end.  If anyone knows different,
please let me know.  In the meantime the tests are expecting the
observed behavior.

You won't see anything new in tags/personal if you're uploading the image
after already creating the (tobe) search tag (in tags/personal). The reason
is obv, coz flickrfs is not syncing with flickr currently. It just does a
one time job of retrieving information.

However, in your case, you're first uploading the image and then searching.
It _shd_ show up, and if it doesn't show up, as you pointed out, its due to
some delay at flickr side.
