calls to os.chdir() produces error #72

Closed leafstorm closed 10 years ago

From tothmich...@gmail.com on May 22, 2014 00:35:57

What steps will reproduce the problem?

import os
path = os.getcwd()
os.chdir(path)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect the chdir method to work and leave me in the same directory that getcwd() returned.

Instead I see the following: 

>>> import os
>>> path = os.getcwd()
>>> os.chdir(path)
The error was: /Applications/jes-4-3.app/Contents/Resources/Java
OS system call failed.
An error occurred while making an operating system call. Please tell a TA what you were doing when this happened, so we may correct it.
>>>

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Version 4.3 on a Mac OS 10.9.2 Please provide any additional information below.

Our current version of Jython (2.2.1) does not support os.chdir() (if you open up Lib/javaos.py, it's just a function that immediately throws an error). Support was introduced in a later version (not sure which), and is present in Jython 2.5. This bug will be fixed automatically once we upgrade.

The Jython upgrade (commit 032de3fc) fixed this.
