What do I do if tests fail after building veracity from source?

I build veracity on my windows 7 machine strictly as described in the instructions given by Ian, code downloaded Nov 19th. Without having changed the code, I get several test failures after the build (links are to the logs):
40:st_json.js
117:st_ssjs_activity.js
158:st_web_18001_main.js
159:st_web_18002_main_no_wf.js
174:st_zing_records.js
178:u0003_errno (looks like a localization problem for me)
I can't estimate the severity of the first 5 failures. Have I done something wrong during the build (the thirdbarty-build could not be found at first)? Are those real bugs? Can I use the result anyway? I logged each step I took to build veracity here. How should I proceed?

I'd say they're all localization issues. In the activity stream test, for example, I'm guessing the "invalid initializer" in question is the non-US-style decimals, e.g. 1321776671617,000000

Not answering this yet, as without further research, I'm not sure how severe this actually is for you.

Let me know if I can somehow retrieve more info from the tests, e.g. what the initializer looks like on my machine. Meanwhile, I'll try to run the tests with locale set to en_us.

0	Solution: I turned the display language and formats to "English (USA)" and thus got rid of the failures. So yes, all the test failures are localization issues. Thanks for the hint, Paul. link answered Nov 20 '11 at 14:00 Arne Mertz 520●6●15●29
