Windows 2008 R2 (32 bit), while running the pgAdmin 4 as runtime for
the PostgreSQL one click installers.
- Found a typo in runtime code, we were appending the path using ';' on
*nix systems too. We should have used ':', and that did not allow the
os.environ['PATH'] to identify the correct path of the python
interpreter under the 'venv' directory.
- On Windows 2008, it was not honouring the environment variables, set
under the Qt application (e.g. pgAdmin4.exe runtime), in the python
application. (e.g. pgAdmin4.py). We will need to assume that - the
python interpreter resides under the 'venv' directory outside the
'bin' directory.
- Also, on windows 2008, it was setting PYTHONHOME environment variable
to the full path of the pgAdmin4.exe, we need to reset it to 'venv'
directory, if we find the python interpreter under it.
Thanks Murtuza Zabuawala for tips, and help.
Issue:
Changes done by Ashesh in pgAdmin4.py file for setting up PYTHONHOME variable to sys.prefix was applicable only for windows only.
Additionally I have also added exception handling for file provided by user for Backup/Restore/Import/Export.
In order to resolve the non-ascii characters in path (in user directory,
storage path, etc) on windows, we have converted the path into the
short-path, so that - we don't need to deal with the encoding issues
(specially with Python 2).
We've resolved majority of the issues with this patch.
We still need couple issues to resolve after this in the same area.
TODO
* Add better support for non-ascii characters in the database name on
windows with Python 3
* Improve the messages created after the background processes by
different modules (such as Backup, Restore, Import/Export, etc.),
which does not show short-paths, and xml representable characters for
non-ascii characters, when found in the database objects, and the file
PATH.
Fixes#2174, #1797, #2166, #1940

Using 'psycopg2.extensions.UNICODE' (for Python < 3) in the psycopg2
driver for proper conversation of unicode characters. Also - adjusted
the string typecaster to take care of different character types (char,
character, text, name, character varying, and their array types).

- don't spin up app and chromedriver between each test
- catching signals also tears down the app
- do layout reset between tests, but assume that tests will not leave a modal opened.
Use selenium built-in waiting function and fix flakiness around clicking the alertify OK button
- we think the OK button does not have its event bound when it is created.
If you see more flakiness around clicking the alertify OK button, let us know. The element is clickable but we have to arbitrarily wait for the event to be bound and that timing may vary system to system.
The feature tests are about 7 seconds faster now.
