Working with SCons' tests

All,

I have a bug, and a fix, and I’d like to write a test to demonstrate the bug and submit a patch.
(It occurs when a Jar builder is passed a File Node instead of a string)
I’ve pulled down the latest sources from github, and when I run the test suite on Windows 10 I get this output:

c:\Users\robb\Development\scons-git>

It seems to fail all the java tests because it can’t find any of the four versions of the JDK that are installed (and it fails 19 tests out of the box).
Can someone give me guidance on what I should expect here, and how to get it to find the JDK and use it?  Adding to the path didn’t seem to work, or I may have given it 32-bit when it expected 64.
I was quickly frustrated by reading the wiki on Github (many of the links from the top-level point back to the top-level), so I went back to bitbucket (which was a little better).
The key problem for me is that it’s skipping the JAR.py test, which is where I’m planning to add a test.

Any advice?

TIA
