Re: [ovirt-users] Building ovirt-engine fails due to failing estCanReadFile(org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.servlet.ServletUtilsTest): We should not be able to read this file.

Searching for 'We should not be able to read this file' finds it in backend/manager/modules/utils/src/test/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/utils/servlet/ServletUtilsTest.java twice - once when trying to read '/doesnotexist/iamprettysure', and the other when trying to read '/etc/securetty'. The latter file is 0600 on Fedora, RHEL and derivatives. I guess it's readable for your user on your system, which might not be a good idea in itself - but that's a different discussion. Some options for how to continue: 1. Submit a patch for the engine to change this test to test for some other file that is more likely to be unreadable, e.g. /etc/shadow. 2. Locally set it on your system to be unreadable to you. 3. Assuming it's Debian's default, ask on Debian lists/forums to change it to be non-world-readable and/or why it's not like that already. 4. Ignore unit tests for now, 'make BUILD_UT=0 install-dev'. Check README.adoc for details. This should probably be ok, unless your version of pep8 is too old/ too new/has different defaults than what we use in CI (which is the "common denominator"). Good luck, -- Didi
