            Bug ID: 24679
           Summary: Remove pexpect dependency from tests unless it's
                    absolutely necessary
           Product: lldb
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: All Bugs
          Assignee: lldb-dev at lists.llvm.org
          Reporter: zturner at google.com
                CC: llvm-bugs at lists.llvm.org
    Classification: Unclassified

pexpect should only be used in tests that require by definition the ability to
launch an lldb.exe from the command line in order to test argument parsing,
etc.  There are tests that use pexpect anyway even though this is not required.
 Those tests should be re-written using the SB API, or if that is not possible,
unit tests.

For starters, this includes the tests in TestCompletion.py, but new instances
of this occuring should be added to this bug for tracking.
