Tests are first class participants of software (well some DO NOT WRITE TESTS). So modularity does not count. There are even class tests which map 1 to 1 to existing classes. How does modularity hold up here? My point is the following: Tests ARE functional documentation and thus should be shipped under any circumstance with the rest of the code. > I usually care a little about modularity when writing tests (they can > use anything from anything, > as long as test fulfills its purpose and covers the functionality i need).. > But in regular code i cannot afford that , because then Kernel will > start depending on Morphic etc.. wait what? that's a 2 level contradiction here :/

And loading > only required packages (without tests) works well. Why change it? I know that this scheme is in use, but why? why do I have to reduce the size of a production image? from how many to many megabytes? It might make sense for moose, but none of the other projects. Do you really care if the image is 35 instead of 25MB? To me this argument sounds invalid :/

File and Directory are things, delete is an action/verb and deleted is a state. To me the only one that makes sense is that you can ensure a state. To me ensureFile sounds odd, too.

Because we match by prefix you have to do -Core and not just ProjectName. In a decent amount of projects -Core and -Extras will grow and you will have tests for -Core and -Extras and you don't want to combine them into a single -Tests package. But what do you do? ProjectName-Core-Core ProjectName-Core-Tests ?? Surely not. From this perspective one can look the way seaside does it. It is ProjectName-Core ProjectName-Extras ProjectName-Tests-Core ProjectName-Tests-Extras So there are multiple possibilities how to achieve it. I always start my projects by keeping tests inside the same package as the rest of the code. Well, I have the habit to mostly create a -Core package at the beginning. Later of the module grows I put -Tests in an extra package. And in one big project I did the seaside approach by putting the -Tests after the ProjectName. This way you don't have too much problems until you introduce platform dependent packages. Norbert

Yes, I think this is good at this point. When the mapping will disappear, things will become simpler.

What we are building (and fighting for) is an ecosystem in which smart guys can also find a job and it is becoming to happen. Mariano is full of work and many others. Sean told me that he got several job offers. Pharo is not the end, it is the start. It is not like we would like it to be but everyday it gets closer to it. Stef
