Hi!
I've been told that Keith and maybe few others are working on a test server. In a 10 minutes seaside coding session I did a small application that displays a result of a SUnit test. Is there anything like this around?
Cheers, Alexandre
Yes... 'SUnit improved' has a TestReporter, since Jan/Feb 2007. It is designed to be invoked from the command line on any image, and to work headless if desired. It generates results to files, the idea being that the progress can be observed remotely via ftp or http. Failures and Errors are generated in a file form that can be viewed remotely, but selected failures/errors can be run by doiting the line of the output file. There is one file which has a byte written per test so that you can see progress remotely just by looking at the file size in a web /dir/ftp browser. There are also custom icons for apache to show pass/fail/errors etc though I am not sure where I have put them. === Please please please, you pharo guys, actually look at SUnit improved, before doing other things with SUnit, I put a lot of effort in to it, over the past 2 years. The latest suite defining and building architecture is really cool. It uses less code than the old system and is better factored to achieve more. For those of us that are interested in developing packages that everyone can use, we need a coherant story accross the board so that we can write tests and flag which images we expect them to work in. 'SUnit improved' has this in TestCaseVersioned. ClassClonerTestResource is another case in point, I wrote it so that we can test the class side of DateAndTime, etc, but still the wheel gets reinvented again and again. A really useful addition which I have been planning for ages, but you would be welcome to have a go at, would be excellent if SSpec specs could be run in the same ui. cheers Keith p.s.
