I personally have a strong preference for keeping tests, particularly unit tests, running fast. My workflow is to develop new code by testing it via unit tests so longer turn around times slow down my development workflow. Sadly we don't have a good a way with dealing with slow but efficient tests and they end up making it difficult to test locally. But this isn't a reason to reject a useful test so feel free to check it in. Perhaps we should consider introducing a concept of smoke tests for developers to run locally where we can aim to maintain a good trade off between code coverage and turn around times. But that's orthogonal to your request. I think splitting GTest into a separate test job should be a prerequisite to not slow down the build job significantly which AIUI reduces test turn around times by delaying all test jobs from starting.
Test jobs are kicked off before 'make check' starts. HTH Ms2ger _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
