test failure with Nim-1.0.4 release candidate

[stefantalpalaru]

Using the "nim1.0.4" branch:

  [OK] tests/fixtures/newGeneralStateTests/stArgsZeroOneBalance/xorNonConst.json
subtest no: 7 failed

There's also a problem with marking that failure, because there's no [FAILED] label.

I get worse error messages:

probably another wave of bugs like v1.0.0 😄

Try deleting "nimcache" first.

I have try it, still cannot works.

[stefantalpalaru]

You're holding it wrong. You should not be using Nimble packages from "C:/Users/Jangko/.nimble/pkgs".

You're supposed to:

git pull
git checkout nim1.0.4
make -j4 update
rm -rf nimcache
make -j4
make test

[jangko]

well, I think the bug I encountered is Windows specific. I can compile and run the test on linux without 'make'.

What's your Nim commit hash?

[jangko]

I use nim devel branch on both windows and linux

[stefantalpalaru]

Then you're testing the wrong compiler revision in the wrong branch.

This is the branch from which new releases are made: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/tree/version-1-0

And this is the commit we should be testing: nim-lang/Nim@4084ef1

[jangko]

it does'nt matter now, I already fixed this issue, and will report the new nim compiler bug.

[jangko]

re cryptic error messages on windows, I have ID the culprit: nim-lang/Nim#12734

[stefantalpalaru]

Great, but it shouldn't affect the 1.0.4 release candidate I was testing, because narimiran says he didn't backport the broken devel commit to the release branch.
