ust a minor bug-report for roundup:

i just try to install roundup 1.4.15. If i run the test scripts i got
some test failed messages, which seems to be only translation issues?
They look all like this:

testIntervalPretty (test.test_dates.DateTestCase) ... 

Failure in test testIntervalPretty (test.test_dates.DateTestCase)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/unittest.py", line 260, in run
    testMethod()
  File "/root/roundup-1.4.15/./test/test_dates.py", line 377, in
testIntervalPretty
    ae('2y', 'in 2 years')
  File "/root/roundup-1.4.15/./test/test_dates.py", line 376, in ae
    self.assertEqual(Interval(spec).pretty(), pretty)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/unittest.py", line 334, in failUnlessEqual
    (msg or '%r != %r' % (first, second))
AssertionError: 'in 2 Jahren' != 'in 2 years'

or like this:

testEncNonUTF8 (test.test_mailgw.MailgwTestCase) ...

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/unittest.py", line 260, in run

    ''')
  File "/root/roundup-1.4.15/./test/test_mailgw.py", line 87, in
compareMessages
    raise AssertionError, '\n'.join(res)
AssertionError: Generated message not correct (diff follows, expected
vs. actual):

- Contrary, Mary <mary@test.test> added the comment:
+ Contrary, Mary <mary@test.test> merkte an:
  
  A message with encoding (encoded oe =F6)
  
  ----------
  status: unread -> chatting

This could be iritate users who runs the test, so it should be fixed.

Thanks for the report. Which "locale" settings langugage did you use 
for the test? (Run "locale" to find out).

I can run all tests from the roundup source directory
without problems with locale LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8.

However I do not have roundup installed in the system
so in roundup/i18n.py find_locales() works and gets me 'de' among 
others, but get_translation() will not find ./locale/de.po in my case, 
because tracker_home is empty. 

My hypothesis is that Benni has an installed roundup in the system
files and uses a German locale, so i18n find his locale.
If I add tracker_home='.' to i18n.py or install roundup in the system
I can reproduce the problem.

Potential solution: Make the test explicitely disable translations.
Suggested in addition: somehow add the source code dir "locale" to the 
search directories for the tests, this would enable i18n tests
and would allow to test that running the non-i18n tests are actually 
independent from a system installed roundup.

Workaround: Disable all translations for running the tests, e.g.
by changing the following line at the bottom of roundup/i18n.py to
 translation = 
get_translation(translation_class=RoundupNullTranslations)

I've had relevant tests set the locale to "C".
