             Summary: Improve the way the pytest --update_results flag works
                 Key: IMPALA-6421
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-6421
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Taras Bobrovytsky


Currently there are several problems with running py.test with the --update_results flag. It does not always output the test sections in a consistent order. For example sometimes TYPES is before RESULTS, and sometimes vice versa. We should come up a with a canonical order of the sections and update all the .test files so that this order is followed everywhere.

Another problem is that sometimes random spaces or newlines are inserted into random places in the new file with the updated results.

In general, we should make generating the expected results much more robust.
