[Zope3-dev] Test-runner and Darcs

[Joe Zicarelli]

Hello world!

I've been experiencing an issue with the Zope3 test runner and Darcs
[http://abridgegame.org/darcs/]:

When looking for tests, the test-finder crawls into the `_darcs'
directory containing revision meta-data.  In `_darcs/current', there
is a pristine copy of the versioned code.  The test-finder confuses
the tests within as real tests.  This results in an import error:

...
  File "/home/jdz/zope3/src/zope/app/testing/test.py", line 557, in visit
    __import__(pkg)
ImportError: No module named _darcs.current.tests

I believe this to be a bug; the test-finder shouldn't be looking for
tests in `_darcs'.  Here's a patch:

Index: src/zope/app/testing/test.py
