As discussed today, April 17, on IRC, I am proposing the creation of a directory for tests based on short code samples from active RT tickets. Note that these tend to be a bit different from other spec tests in that they must often contend with the possibility that the code may throw a Null PMC type exception rather than returning the expected result. The tests may be useful in creating spec tests later as well as verifying when changes may close an active ticket. Based on the IRC discussion there will be one test file in the new ticket directory per ticket. The attached .tgz file has half a dozen sample test files based on currently active tickets. It also has a patch modifying Makefile.in to allow for "make tickettest" and "make tickettest_loud". I understand that tomorrow's hackathon may focus on active tickets and wonder if this work might assist that effort...
