Tests trying to write into '/.cache' and failed #255

I am getting test failures when building in a chroot, full logs: https://paste.xinu.at/GrF/

I did not get it at the time when tox 2.0.1 was released, but as you can see in the logs, 2.0.1 fails now. I'm still trying to figure out what changed during the time (maybe due to a pip upgrade or something?).

I have also tried to specify HOME but that didn't help.

Original comment by @felixonmars

Pip's docs says it respects $XDG_CACHE_HOME, but it seems that variable failed to make it into the virtualenv (as it was not shown in the env: part of the logs). Any hints on how to pass the environment variable into the test virtualenv?

I guess it's a problem with pip -- maybe you can set an environment variable for what pip uses as cache?

Closing this as not actually being a bug in tox (please reopen if I was wrong).

@felixonmars you can ask tox to pass env vars into the testenv by e.g. setting passenv=XDG_CACHE_HOME.
