Fellow fossilites;
I have been looking into various tools used for unit testing and regression
testing, thinking on how to approach the goal of having a regression test
framework for fossil.
I want to use something that is fairly cross-platform, running on all
environments that fossil runs, windows, linux, mac.
I want to have something that is mostly contained within itself, as few
external dependencies as possible.
I want to be able to edit and add tests without going through a development
process of re-compiling and building the test framework.
Anyone (on any system) should be able to work on the
framework without
requiring specialized tools/packages to be installed.
I am currently looking at using Python and its unittest capabilities.
The next step is to organize the types of tests.
I figure that it would break down into first usage categories, then functional
categories.
The uses are on the command-line interface (cli), 'http', and 'https'.
The functional categories would be typical fossil usage: creating a repository,
clone, check out/check in, push/pull, etc.
I am currently working on an outline and some example tests.
If you can think of things that will help with this task, please post;
I am open to discussion and suggestions.
-Rob
