Re: [Mailman-Developers] GSOC 2014: CI tool for the Mailman suite and postorius improvements
Sorry for being out of touch for so long, i was having exams during community bonding period,so i couldn't spare time for discussions. But after doing 3 irc meetings with my mentors,i have now pretty clear understanding on how to proceed with my project but in order to get further suggestions from community, i am posting all the details of my project: 1. CI tool for Mailman Suite (name yet to decide): The first part that i will be doing for next 4 weeks is CI tool for Mailman Suite. I have already started work on that and created a launchpad repository at https://code.launchpad.net/~varun/mailman/ci_tool. I will try to adhere to my timeline, so by the end of this week i'll be finishing with all the unit tests of ci-tool. Right now i've written the rough implementation of pull and test commands using python's optparse module http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~varun/mailman/ci_tool/view/head:/ci-tool: ci-tool -p all (will pull all the projects which includes mailman, mailman.client, postorius, postorius_standalone, hyperkitty and kittystore) ci-tool -p hyperkitty (for pulling a particular project) ci-tool -t all (will run all the unit tests from all the projects) ci-tool -t postorius (run tests specifically) The tool is running fine but buildbot is unable to detect the failed tests in case of running them from ci-tool, i guess i need to write plugin for nose2 to fix this problem. Link to one of such build is http://buildbot.sharmalabs.com/builders/runtests/builds/116 The basic commands that i think it should have are 'pull', 'test' and 'try' but suggestions are welcomed for any new addition. I request all the creative (and non-creative) members of the community to suggest some cool names for the ci-tool :) 2. The UI Testing Framework for Postorius: I have also started working on UI framework and after discussing the possible testing frameworks that we can use in that, we decided to go with selenium. I wrote 5 basis tests for testing the ui of postorius with selenium webdriver ( http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~varun/mailman/ci_tool/view/head:/test_postorius.py) and the i am yet to expand it to hyperkitty. The idea is to include this framework into ci-tool as an optional feature. I will be very happy to hear the feedback from the community, so that i'll be able to make changes to my project accordingly and at right time. Many thanks to my mentors Florian, Steve and Sneha for helping me in making this project feasible. @abhilsh: Sorry, i was really busy during that time,so couldn't replay accordingly and i'll keep that in mind for future discussions. @barry: Thanks barry, I'll make sure the test suite works fine with all the major MTAs, DBMSs and *nix platforms.

Hi everyone, Thanks for giving me opportunity to work with mailman community this summer. I'm an undergraduate student from Manipal Institute Of Technology, India and i'll be working on project CI tool for the Mailman suite and postorius improvements. I would love to get feedback and suggestions from the community regarding my project which involves: 1. CI tool for Mailman Suite (mailman core, postorius, hyperkitty) 2.

The UI Testing Framework for Postorius I think you should give something more to comment on rather than just asking to give suggestions and feedback. I can't tell you each and every step of your project only based on above two points. Maybe you can be more specific on ideas that you want suggestions on? Also not everyone on this list has read your proposal, so if you want to discuss on whether your proposal is enough to go though the summer or you need more details lined out(which I am sure you do ;-), it would be best if you either blog about your proposal(which I guess PSF wants you to do before coding period starts) or post about your proposal here in mm-dev and then ask for suggestions or feedback based on that. thanks, Abhilash ___ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
