Folks, there needs to be some visual testing with each pull request.
This is one of the places where automated testing is rather difficult.
Also, the cycle of reporting back such issues should be a lot faster.
In related news, I don't know how to rebuild documentation with dub. If
I run "make clean" followed by "make dpl-docs", it mentions something
about things being up to date and recommends using --force to rebuild.
How can things be up to date after "make clean"?
Anyhow I followed the advice and ran this by hand:
../dub-0.9.22/bin/dub build --force --root=dpl-docs
--compiler=/tmp/.stable_dmd-2.066.1/dmd2/osx/bin/dmd
This time the tool output some other messages and still did not build
the docs.
In switching to dub we're hoping there'd be improvement in the quality
of website and a better build process. Please assist me in making that
happen.
Thanks,
Andrei
It might be wise to start setting up some form or web site testing.
Like PhantomJS[0].
I personally haven't had the chance to use it yet. But it can create
images from web pages it views and more importantly it's headless (no
gui display required).
I don't know how doable, but set it up to so it would auto submit the
images to the github PR would be awesome. No excuse not to review the
changes.
