Andrew Stitcher commented on QPID-5307:
---------------------------------------
I have certainly thought for a while that we should move to implementing all
the test scripts in python.
(I don't know if it was me that suggested it in your hearing though)
This indeed has been som of the rationale for centralising functionality in a
single script (even is it isn't python yet) so we get an idea of what we need
to implement.
> Change test scripts to cross-platform language

> The C++ tree's test suite drivers are primarily shell scripts. Many were
> duplicated as Windows PowerShell scripts along the way. However, not all
> scripts were PowerShell-ized, and the dual set of test scripts is not
> maintained in sync. Someone (Cliff?) suggested a while back that the test
> driver scripts be written in a common language across Linux and Windows, and
> for other platforms as well.
> Python, Perl, Ruby are all possible choices - python and ruby need to be on
> build systems anyway for code generation. What do people think about a) this
> idea in general, b) language to use?
