#1 System Exit: 28 from pylint

[ennui77]

I'm setting up NoseXUnit to run in hudson. I have the test reporting and code coverage working. However I cannot get the auditing with pylint to work. I'm using the following version of the dependent libraries:

coverage-2.85
kid-0.9.6
logilab-astng-0.19.0
logilab-common-0.39.0
nose-0.10.4
NoseXUnit-0.3.2
Pygments-1.0
pylint-0.18.0

when I try to run the audit I get the following error:

> nosetests --with-nosexunit --source-folder=trunk/src --enable-audit trunk/test

nose.nosexunit.audit: ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

I was under the impression that the system exit 28 from lint.py is a valid error condition. This is from the pylint:

Output status code:
Pylint should leave with following status code:
* 0 if everything went fine
* 1 if some fatal message issued
* 2 if some error message issued
* 4 if some warning message issued
* 8 if some refactor message issued
* 16 if some convention message issued
* 32 on usage error
status 1 to 16 will be bit-ORed so you can know which different
categories has been issued by analysing pylint output status code

Am I doing something wrong here? What can I do track this down?

In its version 0.3.2, NoseXUnit checks that the return code of PyLint subprocess is in following dictionary's values:

pylint.utils.MSG_TYPES_STATUS

Unfortunately, the exit code of PyLint is a OR operation on all messages due to the following line:

self.msg_status |= MSG_TYPES_STATUS[msg_id[0]] # (line 250 of pylint.utils)

So there is a bug in the check function.

This is corrected in trunk version.

Thanks, I will try the trunk version/
