When LOGNAME environment variable contains `\` some tests fail.

[leorochael]

Environment

• pip version: 20.2.2 (but actually master as of today).
• Python version: CPython 3.8.5
• OS: Ubuntu 18.04

Description When LOGNAME contains a backslash (\) some tests fail.

This can happen when a linx machine is bound to an ActiveDirectory domain using PowerBroker Identity Services.

In those cases the environment variables LOGNAME and USER will contain a value in the format `DOMAINNAME\username

Expected behavior

All tests should pass.

How to Reproduce

1. Checkout pip from source
2. Create a virtualenv
3. Install the test requirements (pip install -r tools/requirements/tests.txt).
4. Run:

LOGNAME='DOMAIN\user' pytest tests/functional/test_install.py::test_pep518_refuses_conflicting_requires

Output

Workaround

If you're unlucky to be in the situation of the issue above, the workaround is to override LOGNAME while runinng tests. E.g.:

LOGNAME='username' pytest tests/functional/test_install.py::test_pep518_refuses_conflicting_requires

Or:

LOGNAME='username' tox
