Yes this is important. test written in Sunit should run on it and new features can be incompatible. On Oct 25, 2010, at 4:07 PM, Lukas Renggli wrote:

I am all in for improving SUnit, but there must be some compatibility mode that makes it easy not only to run, but also to write tests on the official SUnit. This is crucial for projects like Seaside, Magritte, Pier, PetitParser, ... that are supposed to work on various other Smalltalk platforms.

Yea, well, it depends on whether we want to be compatible with camp smalltalk's SUnit, as maintained by Niall Ross: http://sunit.sourceforge.net/devel.htm. Pharo already is using extensions, such as the possibility to mark tests as expected failures at all (that is impossible in standard SUnit).

My humble opinion is that we must control our testing environment, and we already have an excellent cleanup of SUnit, namely akuhn/SUnit, http://www.squeaksource.com/akuhn.html. And we have progress in the form of Phexample, which builds ontop of SUnit. http://smalltalkthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/11/phexample-because-examples-exp... . I'd be more than happy if Pharo took a new SUnit as its standard testing framework, and I'd even be thrilled if enough people found Phexample useful enough, so that it could become standard over time.

Hi all, I am working on pushing environments in SystemNavigation. SystemNavigationTest previously used ClassFactoryForTestCase from SUnit for generating classes. Now I need an environment-aware ClassFactoryForTestCase. Should I directly modify ClassFactoryForTestCase since a class generator should now be environment aware? Should I subclass ClassFactoryForTestCase and put it in SUnit? Should I never changed SUnit and put it elsewhere? ;-) #Luc _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
