Is this a new test suite or additions to what is there? I've been wanting to rework it a bit. Portions require gnetlist to be installed first which is a bit backwards. Also I think there are some remaining issues around building outside the source tree. It should all be fixable though. I do think it would be good to move all the gnetlist tests into the same framework though. That makes maintaining it much easier. We probably should also make it so it runs all of the tests and then reports how many passed and how many failed. Currently the tests stop on the first failure which is a bit annoying. The framework in the spice-sdb area is based on what I did for latex-mk (yet another oss project of mine) and in latex-mk it worked fairly well. We used pretty much the same approach in gerbv and I think it is working there. We can probably add any needed extensions to make it work for all of the gnetlist tests. Basically the idea is you have a text file that defines each test. The test is given a name, some data like input files, extra command line arguments, and an expected exit code. Then there is a script which goes over each test and runs it. The script has hooks in there for easily regenerating "golden" files. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
