All, Over the past week+ we've been experiencing regressions of various severities as a result of refactoring. This has eaten up a lot of my time and I've also heard similar reports from others inside and out of the company where I work. Some of the regressions were in openflowplugin and a few as a result of the transition to blueprint. It is not my intention to blame storm at all, all the errors have been very understandable. However, the fact that I hit these problems by running automated tests THAT WE ALREADY HAVE (NetvirtIt) really underscores how beneficial it would be to buff up our automated testing and have the results gate the commits. I know that this is an ongoing effort we are currently working on but thought I would share this rather clear example of how it would help us.
One of the issues with the blueprint transition resulted in netvirt failing to initialize. Translate that back from inversion-of-control to the way things used to be and that's more or less comparable to compiling an executable, running it, and then it doing nothing! Again, not looking to blame anyone, EVERYONE involved has been very responsive and responsible, just to share some thoughts on an issue I'm pretty sure we all agree on anyway ;-) -J
