Hi,
Autotest is a live testing tool (similar too Ruby Autotest, but the Smalltalk way, more dynamic).
Hi Laurent. I have just test it and I really like it. I wasn't aware at all what a Autotest was (I don't know Ruby).
�
Autotest uses the following heuritics to find the tests to run:
- if the method is a test, runs it
- it the method is a test setUp or tearDown, run all the tests of the TestCase
- else find all senders which are tests in the same package and runs them (it detects different packages that are related, for example ProfStef-Core and ProfStef-Test)
maybe a new feature: when modifying a TestResource, run all the tests that references it ?
what happens with subclasses?� suppose I refactor/modify a subclass, do you also run the tests of the superclasses?
�
To activate the Autotest dashboard
�
- open the settings browser
- go under System
- check "Show Autotest Dashboard" option
Here I am confused. This setting, just enables de dashborad or the run of the tests?� I guess one thing is to run the tests and another one is to see them in the dashborad.
I would love to be able to enable/disable AutoTest completly.
In addition, I think we can add AutoTest to PharoDev 1.2 images. What you and others think?
�
To load it:
Gofer new
squeaksource: 'Autotest';
package: 'Autotest';
load
HelpSystem book included.
I would like to know what needs enhancements, what to add (and to remove :) and whether you would use it or not (and why).
Thanks for feedback.
Cheers,
