np.random.uniform broken with units

See original GitHub issue

With numpy-1.12

In [12]: np.random.uniform(u.Quantity(10, u.deg), u.Quantity(11, u.deg))
Out[12]: -1.0

This used to work up to 1.11.3 and returned a number between 10 and 11.

I’m reporting this here first before deciding whether this should be reported upstream or fixed in astropy.

@mhvk - Thank you very much for all your work on the Astropy and Numpy internals to make life better for all of us!

I checked on numpy master and both examples now error instead of giving nonsense. Obviously, it would still be nicer if they returned the right thing, but at least this issue is solved, so I’ll close it.
