Ugh, so this means editing the canonical test repository for every status-changing update to every implementation? Yuck. This seems like a problem for implementation-specific harnesses and reporting tools.
this is what prompted me to start this thread. the problem is years of test suite design, which point to keeping todo() info with in the testfiles, with each subtest. moving todo() info out of these test files leads to fragile test harnesses, as adding a test to the middle of a file will change test numbers. if test descriptions are used, then unique descriptions for each test are required. et cetera. this is all hashed out in the link to the #perl6 conversation larry provided previously. the conclusion was to keep todo() info with the subtests and deal with the result (for now.) i *hope* there's a better way. i repost the link for ease of reference: http://colabti.de/irclogger/irclogger_log/perl6?date=2006-08-07,Mon&sel=110#l193 ~jerry
