commit 5f65f786dee22089323febc899bf2c85a53c99aa Author: Damian Johnson <atagar@torproject.org> Date: Mon Jun 24 09:23:16 2013 -0700 Clarifying why test's load_conf() expects an exception For a long while I've been puzzled why this load_conf() call asserted an exception. When I ran it in a cusom prompt it ran fine - turned out that it was relying on us having a custom DataDir. Tor balks (rightfully) when we'd shift our DataDir out from a running tor instance. Doing a better job explaining what's up in the comment. --- test/integ/control/controller.py | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/test/integ/control/controller.py b/test/integ/control/controller.py index bc9619c..c4b8fb1 100644 --- a/test/integ/control/controller.py +++ b/test/integ/control/controller.py @@ -545,7 +545,14 @@ class TestController(unittest.TestCase): oldconf = runner.get_torrc_contents() try: - # invalid requests + # Check a request that changes our DataDir.
