-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone,
unit test code outputs it's result in .xml files. Those can later be parsed using XSLT to create report webpages. Now am wondering which of those 3 solutions is the best to create the report: 1st option: choose a xslt parser, (like gnome's libxslt) and use it's standalone command line utility to generate reports. pro: easy to integrate, no need for configure thingies against: additionnal dependency for crossfire code 2nd option: integrate a standalone xslt parser (like sablotron) in the crossfire code repository (crossfire/test/xslt ?), compile it and run it at unit testing time pro: no new dependency (assuming the parser has no dependency) against: have ot integrate this xslt parser configure code in crossfire one (should be quite easy), need to find a parser which has very little dependecy to be worth 3rd option: have configure check the presence of various known xslt parsers. As all XSLT1.0 compliant parsers are supposed to produce same output from given input, all configure has to do is to discover the command line to use pro: no fixed dependency (*any* xslt parser, could even provide a - --with-xslt='myparser -input $1 -output $2' configure option), no need for very complicated xslt job against: requires a xslt processor, might hit bugs in some processors note: in all cases, unit test should work even without existing processor installed (user will simply not have the nice html output) Personnaly, i like the 3rd, and of course i like the 1st as it can later be converted to the 3rd. Also, the 2nd one is very complicated and crazy, so i like it too. More seriously, i plan to opt for the option 3 comments?
