Audio submission failing

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Audio submission tests are failing right now in master. Right now this looks like:

mediagoblin/tests/test_submission.py ................
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> traceback >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/cwebber/devel/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/tests/test_submission.py", line 377, in test_audio

    % self.status)
AssertionError: You can only follow redirect responses (not 200 OK)

However this error is misleading, looking at the response that is gotten back, the submission form has the error

<p class="form_field_error">Sorry, I don&#39;t support that file type :(</p>

The real problem is when submitting the procedurally generated audio, which fails to be sniffed for the audio type. In the discover() method in mediagoblin/media_types/tools.py when the last line runs, an exception is thrown:

> /home/cwebber/devel/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/media_types/tools.py(43)discover()
-> discoverer = GstPbutils.Discoverer.new(60 * Gst.SECOND)
(Pdb) n
> /home/cwebber/devel/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/media_types/tools.py(44)discover()
-> return discoverer.discover_uri(uri)
(Pdb) discoverer.discover_uri(uri)
*** Error: gst-stream-error-quark: No valid frames decoded before end of stream (7)
(Pdb) 

So that's where the error is occurring.

I wonder if maybe the procedurally generated audio is less than a second, and that's causing the error? Or it could be something else...

It looks like this one is probably not our doing, but a library issue:

• ​https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer1.0/+bug/1397597
• ​https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740422

As such, we can probably move forward with the release.

As of today, tests are passing on master. Whatever the problem was, it has been resolved.
