[matplotlib-devel] Running tests on latest master

[Nelle V. <nel...@gm...>]

Hello,

I've just checked out the source code from github, and I ran the
tests. Unfortunately, I get loads of errors (more than 1k), most of
them such as the following:


======================================================================
ERROR: matplotlib.tests.test_text.test_multiline.test
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

    h1h = np.histogram(h1p, bins=bins)[0]
NameError: global name 'bins' is not defined


I've tried to have a look at the code, and indeed 'bins' is not
defined in this method. I'm not sure if this could be an installation
problem. Any idea how I could fix that ?

Many thanks,
N
