Yes, that would be very useful! Getting a test suite system setup will help us greatly, not only to verify that we don't regress too much but also to work on bug fixes easier when we can create test cases to repeat problems. > I have some sketchy ideas how it would work (using a TESTS_ENVIRONMENT > script that wraps the libssh2 self-tests), and could propose some patches if > I find time, so you can see more in detail what I mean. I would imagine that we have a separate dir in which we can write test applictions and then we have some file/description that describes what to feed to the test and what the expected output from the test is so that a "run-them-all" script can run all (or single) tests and verify that they did fine. (This is bascially what we have for (lib)curl and that works pretty good.) -- / daniel.haxx.se ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel mailing list libssh2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libssh2-devel
