If you're into TDD, you're probably a bit annoyed about Librarian and Memcached taking quite a while to set up and tear down when running the tests, right? Well, these are things that we usually don't change, so there's not much point in keep starting and stopping them every time you run a test.
If you specify LP_PERSISTENT_TEST_SERVICES=1 in the environment (for example in .bashrc), the Librarian and Memcached daemons won't be shut down when the test run ends. And the next time you run a test, the test harness will see that those services are running, and won't try to start them again. If you need to kill them, you can use bin/kill-test-services. You can see that this work by making sure that it takes around 0 seconds to set up and tear down LibrarianLayer and MemcachedLayer when running bin/test -vv -t some-test. Another good tips is to always specify. -m to the test runner. If you run a test in lp.bugs for example, specifying -m lp.bugs will make the test discovery much faster. -- Björn Tillenius | https://launchpad.net/~bjornt _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
