We're working on aggressive parallelisation of tests; much of the test suite is already safe \o/. We might be able to do what you suggest, but I think running a clean queue up with [as complete as we can get] isolation is much more robust - we don't need to worry about someone running the tests on a prod server (!eep), whether rabbit is already running (devs don't like daemons always running that they aren't using), whether the local rabbit conf is sane (e.g. usercodes etc). -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
