Hi, I have just subscribed to this list and saw this thread.
> satisfactory (see this: > http://blog.remysaissy.com/2012/11/setting-up-unit-tests-in-vala-project.html); > however, Vala's development environment is too complicated for me (a Vala I use similar setup and am using it heavily and it works perfectly. I reused some libgee-s AbstracTestCase and using cmake to build and run tests coexist /w the normal app and/or shared libs in the similar directory structure. The output likes this: /ValueHolderTest/null_value_test: OK /ValueHolderTest/string_value_test: OK /ValueHolderTest/enum_value_test: OK ... /AspectTriggerTest/test_trigger_discard: OK /BindingsTest/bind_aspect_adapter_test: OK The main test program: static int main (string[] args) { GLib.Test.init (ref args); TestSuite.get_root ().add_suite (new ValueHolderTest ().get_suite ()); .... TestSuite.get_root ().add_suite (new BindingsTest ().get_suite ()); return GLib.Test.run (); } And a simple test suite /w some unit tests: public class ModelPresenterTest : AbstractTestCase { ... public ModelPresenterTest () { base ("ModelPresenterTest"); add_test ("change_model_under_presenter_test", change_model_under_presenter_test); add_test ("base_test", base_test); } public override void set_up () { value_holder = new ValueHolder (); } public override void tear_down () { value_holder = null; } public void change_model_under_presenter_test () { .... } > My "vision" for this experiment is that someone can set up Noise (or some > other project) for testing, and then I (and/or other volunteers) can start > writing a few tests for it and sort of coach the developers in TDD for the > purpose of getting the developers to a self-sufficient state before > potentially moving onto another project and doing the same. I think it's a very good idea and I recommend the following post to all of those who have never heard about nor used TDD: http://blogs.agilefaqs.com/2011/11/01/importance-of-unit-testing-and-test-driven-development-tdd/ Also the libgee (Vala) guys are using tests heavily either. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community Post to : elementary-dev-community@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~elementary-dev-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
