test suite doesn't pass under OS X

[stratoukos]

FocusAndPaneIndexTest and PaneOrderingTest in test_workspacebuilder.py fail to pass under OS X for 2 reasons:

1. /sys does not exist in OS X
2. /var is symlinked to /private/var and pane.get('pane_current_path') returns the resolved path, so assertEqual fails with AssertionError: u'/private/var' != '/var'. The same also stands for /tmp.

I tried to fix this, either by manually resolving the paths in the test case with os.path.realpath, or by changing the paths in the test case and the yaml configuration to /usr. In both cases there were some weird issues with running the tests.

When I run one of the failing tests alone, it works with either fix. If I run the whole suite, the test cases failed randomly (not always!) because pane.get('pane_current_path') returned either my cwd (the root of the repo) or my home directory.

@stratoukos Thank you for this. I don't have OS X, but I will follow up.

1.) There is no reason to be using /sys/, /var and etc. I will apply into not using those directories as examples and test cases.
2.) Tests failing. I experience similar behavior too, this is because the asynchronous nature of the test. I am going to look into increasing the time.

Are you using the git / development version? I will reference my fixes to this issue.

@stratoukos can you give the latest git a shot?

[stratoukos]

Yes I was working off master. I will give it another shot tomorrow morning.

There was still /tmp in there, but everything else worked ok
