2009/10/8 Stuart Bishop <[email protected]>:jml asked for ideas, so I put one out there to kick start things :-) The advantages of a VM: - The environment is consistent between development setups, staging and production systems. We get pretty close as it is, but this approach gets closer. - We get a work around for the well known ports issue. PostgreSQL on port 5432, Apache on port 80 and 443, Librarian, mock services, soon memcached and rabbitmq - all are fundamentally the same problem and we need to solve them all if we ever want to run multiple instances of the test suite or parallelize it on the same box.Could they be configured to all run on 127.0.0.something?
They usually are (its even the default for Ubuntu packages like PostgreSQL). The well known ports are the problem - we don't have a way of starting services on random unused ports and communicating that information to tests. There is nothing on my list that can't be solved, its just a matter of actually doing the work of fixing the fixtures and updating the tests and setup documentation. -- Stuart Bishop <[email protected]> http://www.stuartbishop.net/
