Alex Budovski has done some work to debug why some tests (binlog tests in particular) are failing on Windows, and found that this is because mysql-test-run.pl set the TZ variable. This interacts poorly with the Windows Operating System.
It's actually only a few test cases that need to set TZ. Here is a quick patch that avoids the need to set TZ except for tests that specifically requests it (with the already existing --timezone=XXX mechanism in -master.opt).
Opinions?
Why we didn't have this problem with MySQL in pushbuild ?
Yeah, that's what I asked myself as well? I remember that for long we did not run replication tests on Windows (because they had tons of failures), maybe binlog tests also. But I kind of thought that was fixed some time ago, don't remember for sure though. Or maybe the Pushbuild Windows hosts were set to the +03:00 time zone. Can't think of any better reason atm. - Kristian.
