Bug ID: 47853 Summary: Allow testing in any locale on Wine VMs Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: fgouget@codeweavers.com Distribution: ---
Because Wine VMs run Unix, running a test in a locale is a simple matter of setting $LANG (*), creating a new WinePrefix for good measure, and running the test normally.
This does assume that the relevant locales have been configured before hand which is an easy one-time task when setting up the VM.
Wine VMs already have a list of missions they perform for wine-devel patches from which we can derive a list of locales to offer on the 'Submit job' page (see bug 47852). But we would not want to run every patch through every possible locale as this would take too much time (there are dozens of locales).
But extra locales could be included in the 'Submit job' page to allow debugging of these locales.
(*) And $LC_ALL too???
