I think the information we need looks like http://speedy.cs.uiuc.edu/~johnson/testResults/3.10alpha.7105-none.html . Ralph Johnson wrote a tool to generate these reports but I don't know more than that. You can ask him.

Done.

I think the way to do it is to periodically download last dev image, run the tests, output the results to a file and upload it to a webserver. I think we can do this with a simple bash script and a cron task. Is it possible to run all the Squeak tests from the command line ?

Yes. First create a text file which contains the Smalltalk instructions to run the tests you want. You might want to look at classes TestCase and TestRunner to find what to write in this file.

Then, you have to pass the full path of that file as the last parameter to Squeak

There is a version of TestRunner in 'SUnit-improved' (however some needed code needs to be retrieved from the history) that takes parameters from the command line using Installer-Launcher (part of LPF) to invoke them.

TestRunner can be configured to report its results using TestReporter generating results to files, which when served by an appropriately configured web server (apache + some icons) give you both a progress status and red/green/yellow pass indication in your web browser and a script to load into a fileList and re-run tests via doIts.

TestReporter can be run standalone without TestRunner which runs the tests without an in image UI.

This will all be a standard part of Sake/Bob, an auto image build/ testing tool built upon Sake. (Bob version 1 was written in ruby, so the ideas have been tested, we just await the smalltalk version. There is also a server ready to be put to work on this)
