I mentioned in IRC yesterday that I wanted to change a few command-line
options; I've just checked in the changes.
First:
--nocatch causes us to run without an outermost exception handler, which
is good if you're debugging in Wing and want the debugger to stop on
unhandled exceptions (instead of putting up the feedback UI). I
discovered, though, that the new code that runs the functional test
suite is adding an exception handler of its own that I also want to turn
off to allow debugging of functional test failures; however, Bear
pointed out that the tinderboxes currently run the functional test suite
with --nocatch, and need to keep the current behavior.
So, I proposed to change --nocatch to --catch=(normal|tests|never),
where "normal" is the default and matches the current default behavior
(both exception handlers in place), "tests" just removes the outer one
(the current --nocatch behavior), and "never" removes both exception
handlers (for me and anyone else who debugs functional test failures).
This seemed OK with bear, especially when I promised to leave --nocatch
in place until he could switch the tinderboxes at his convenience, so
I've done it.
Second:
I whined that I'm constantly adding and removing "-f
tools/cats/functional/FunctionalTestSuite.py" in the debug options box
in Wing, so I've added "-T" (that's capital T) (as well as the long form
"--chandlerTestSuite") to do this. (I forgot to mention this in the
checkin notes - oops.).
Third:
I notice that --chandlerTests has no shorter option, so I'm planning on
moving "-t" (lower case t) from --testScripts to --chandlerTests (the
existing cats list-of-tests option, which didn't have a shortcut until
now) because I don't think it makes sense to run 'all the scripts'
anymore. (I haven't done this last one yet - I didn't want to hose
anyone who does still use the -t form of --testScripts; speak up if you
do -- hi, Donn!).
