Research direction

Start by running make test in the Docker-on-Mac setup and compare the listed failures. Read the referenced tests in Lib/test/test_cmd_line_script.py, test_genericpath.py, test_unicode_file.py, test_os.py, test_posix.py, test_zipimport.py, test_socket.py, and test_import. Done means identifying the shared cause and resolving or appropriately handling the 15 Mac failures.

Description

Issue

A total of 15 tests fail when I run make test on the docker container running on a Mac

Hypothesis

Some of these tests seem to be failing due to encoding issues.
My guess is that the mismatch in the underlying filesystem (docker says linux, but I run Mac) could be the root cause.
I noticed that underlying the code for these tests does check for the system architecture, but I am out of my depth here to be 100% sure.
Ex: test_non_ascii -> https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder/blob/7ccf3d80e70dd1284868b4ce255a2527e22b84a9/Lib/test/test_cmd_line_script.py#L531-L542

Steps to reproduce
  • Get a Mac 💻
  • Checkout code and build using the instructions in the ReadME
  • Run make test
System information
  • MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
  • OS version: 11.2.3
  • Darwin Kernel Version 20.3.0
  • xnu-7195.81.3~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
