Yes, thats the way to go.
Automation and scripting is key. You really need to add a language or cross-language combination at a time. Some TestClients and TestServers need some rework and do probably not cover all language features and thrift types. The goal is to automate reporting as well, I would love to have a test/status.md file at the end and integrate that on the web site. We can create a dedicated JIRA issue for this story and add subtasks for the individual topics as soon as we have that gsoc stuff up and running. -roger From: Chamila Wijayarathna [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Mittwoch, 5.

Can I assume all server-client-protocol-transport combinations I got by running test/test.sh[1] are completed or do I have to check those tests too? So for now, as I understood, we have following languages, protocols and transports. Languages - 1. C++ 2. Java 3. C 4. C# 5. Ruby 6. Objective-C 7. JavaScript 8. Node.js 9. Erlang 10. Perl 11. PHP 12. Python 13. OCaml 14. Haskell 15. Go 16. Cocoa 17. Smalltalk 18. Delphi Protocols - 1. binary 2. compact 3. json Transports - 1. buffered 2. framed 3. fast-framed 4. http Please add if I am missing something here. So I am planning to create a to-do list of project as in [2] for the 'cross language test suite'. I will add all server - client - protocol - transport combinations to this and fill each cell with current progress of each test. I am planning to keep cells corresponding to tests which are not currently in test suite and I have no idea if those combinations are compatible. I have share this with developer list, so others can see this and they can also give suggestions relating to each combination (Like these protocols not support these languages, etc.) This is the plan I have for now, please give your feedback on this. 1. https://gist.github.com/cdwijayarathna/9352126 2. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AolXxLs9J7hydEFMVmRmNl9RY3MwVFN tbnJSM2ZOSUE#gid=0 Thank You.

That's exactly the task, complete the cross language test suite and generate a feature and compatibility matrix that can be included easily by the Apache Thrift web site. => Generate reliable information on compatibility and features. + documentation Many languages and features are only covered by their unit tests usually located under lib/<lang>/test The cross language test suite uses the reference test data from test/ThriftTest.thrift It probably needs some alignments to cover all features. ... documenting the Apache Thrift features within the test suite would be another addon here. initial doc is at test/README.md: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/thrift/repo?p=thrift.git;a=blob;f=te <https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/thrift/repo?p=thrift.git;a=blob;f=t est/README.md;hb=HEAD> st/README.md;hb=HEAD things like doc, html or xml/json schema generation is also not covered by tests yet thanks! -roger -----Original Message----- From: Chamila Wijayarathna [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ] Sent: Dienstag, 4.

In [2], it says that ruby supports both binary and compact protocols. So why I am not getting rb-rb results with compact protocol in [1]? If [2] is not accurate, from where can I found a better language to protocol compatibility mapping details? Is there any resource for transport compatibility with languages ? 1.https://gist.github.com/cdwijayarathna/9352126 2. http://www.cerebiggum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Thrift-Protocol-Compati <http://www.cerebiggum.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Thrift-Protocol-Compat ibility.png> bility.png Thank you! -- *Chamila Dilshan Wijayarathna,* SMIEEE, SMIESL, Undergraduate, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa. -- Chamila Dilshan Wijayarathna, SMIEEE, SMIESL, Undergraduate, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa.
