mimeview unit test fails

[david.vanmaren@…]

This is likely related to #3332, but when I run the unit tests on 0.10, I
get a failed assertion.

From my uninformed perspective, it appears that the defect is in the test code, rather than in the logic of get_mimetype().

I am running SLES10, x86_64, Python 2.4.2. Here's a snippet of svn info from my working copy:

URL: http://svn.edgewall.com/repos/trac/tags/trac-0.10
Revision: 3804

Here's the test output:

Well, I guess it's a problem with Python's mimetypes module.

Mine gives:

$ python
ActivePython 2.4.2 Build 248 (ActiveState Corp.) based on
Python 2.4.2 (#67, Oct 30 2005, 16:11:18) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mimetypes
>>> mimetypes.init()
>>> mimetypes.types_map['.pyc']
'application/x-python-code'
>>>

I guess we should pick a test case less susceptible to differ from platform to platform or version to version...

Well, there are some other types available that should be quite standard. How about:

trac/mimeview/tests/api.py

Please do ;-) (not worth doing for 0.10.x though)

Oki. Done in [6470]. Closing.
