Bug ID: 7163
Summary: Parallel make test
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Building & Packaging
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Running "make test" takes a while, and it would be nice to make it support
parallel testing to make it go faster for easier rapid development.
The test suite is executed as a single job, so -j will not work to speed it up
as you would usually expect. Fortunately, Test::Harness looks for a few
environment variables and one of them lets us set jobs. Unfortunately, I get
the following error when trying to use it on the current trunk, among others:
Apr 3 08:23:42.600 [20246] warn: locker: error accessing
./log/user_state/auto-whitelist.lock: No such file or directory at
../blib/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Locker/UnixNFSSafe.pm line 106.
There are likely more issues, will include a full log in a bit. In addition to
being able to do faster testing, we can gain some extra opportunities for
concurrency and maybe make scanning faster as well.
