[Matplotlib-users] Missing tests when trying to run unit tests with agg on linux

[Russell W. <ru...@pe...>]

I'm trying to run the matplotlib unit tests on linux with the agg backend,
and am getting a tonne of errors.

Here is my test method and output (method is the script created at the top):
http://bpaste.net/raw/n0JVrWcXnlPVxaAlArHJ/

It is not clear to me why the tests don't exist.  I have run this test
successfully several times on this platform over the last couple of years,
although I haven't tried it in (I'm guessing) a year or so.

Searching around I found this in the mailing list:

The testing output is similar (bottom of the mail), but perusing the rest
of the thread it does not seem to have a resolution, nor does it seem like
the same issue.

For reference, matplotlib was installed with `pip install matplotlib`, and
the output log is here:

Does anybody know what is wrong, or have any tips on where/how I can dig
further?

Thanks,
Russ
