Bug 659226 – =dev-util/scons-3.0.1-r100: TryRun+CacheDir broken with Python 3

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Hector Martin 2018-06-26 10:47:42 UTC]

Minimal reproducer:

======
CacheDir('objects')

env = Environment()

def CompilerCheck(context):
    context.Message("Checking for a working C compiler ")
    ret = context.TryRun("int a;\n", '.c' )[0]
    context.Result(ret)
    if ret == 0:
        return False

conf = Configure(Environment(),
                 custom_tests = {"CompilerCheck" : CompilerCheck})

conf.CompilerCheck()
======

I've traced this down to mixing of bytes/str in Node.FS.File.get_cachedir_bsig and reported it upstream to scons-users. Opening this bug to track it on the Gentoo side.

Can no longer repro, presumably upstream fixed this at some point.
