Test test_key_too_short fails

[tkdchen]

When run tests from master branch within testenv py36-base, the expected error BadDigestError is not raised.

    @pytest.mark.parametrize("Backend,ExceptionType", _backend_exception_types())
    def test_key_too_short(self, Backend, ExceptionType):
        key = Backend(TOO_SHORT_PRIVATE_KEY, ALGORITHMS.ES512)
        with pytest.raises(ExceptionType):
>           key.sign(b'foo')
E           Failed: DID NOT RAISE <class 'ecdsa.keys.BadDigestError'>

tests/algorithms/test_EC.py:121: Failed

Steps to reproduce:

• create a virtual environment
• install tox
• tox -e py36-base

In NixOS/nixpkgs#89723, this was caused by upgrading ecdsa from 0.14.1 to 0.15 in NixOS/nixpkgs@81667ef.

I have opened a PR in the ecdsa project to resolve this. Once that PR is merged a new version of ecdsa is released, I will update python-jose to use the fixed version (or later) which should resolve this issue. Hang tight until then.

This is fixed in version 3.2.0, which is now available on PyPI and GitHub. It pins the ecdsa package to < 0.15 to avoid this breakage. I hope to have a better solution available in the next release of python-jose.

Closing. Thank you for reporting this.
