Overview Description

I followed the instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md to clone the Babel repository and set up a development environment, but when I ran "make test" as the final step, several thousand of the tests failed. It appeared that zoneinfo/pytz and tzdata were not installed in the virtual environment. After installing them manually I was able to run the tests successfully.

Reproducibility

Always.

Additional Information

This is using Python 3.11 on Windows 11. Modules installed by “pip install -e .[dev]” were:

  • six
  • pluggy
  • packaging
  • iniconfig
  • coverage
  • colorama
  • babel
  • python-dateutil
  • pytest
  • pytest-cov
  • freezegun

Interesting, quoting from https://docs.python.org/3/library/zoneinfo.html#data-sources

[...] Some systems, including notably Windows systems, do not have an IANA database available, and so for projects targeting cross-platform compatibility that require time zone data, it is recommended to declare a dependency on tzdata.

We actually already require tzdata in tests but not as a project dependency:

babel/tox.ini

Line 16 in 740ee3d

tzdata;sys_platform == 'win32'

I suppose we could add tzdata as a dependency for Windows? @akx thoughts?

Sure! It'd be better to have the test (dev) deps in one place only, IOW replace the deps in tox.ini with extras = dev and make sure the extras_require list in setup.py is in sync with that.
