Stef is talking of http://www.squeaksource.com/TestServerSimple.html
Now this is a rather rudimentary adaptation from a tool made by Swiss
guys. It runs automatically when launching the image, loads packages
and runs tests for different projects.
Right now it is tailored for Moose projects
I guess that the area that need improvements are:
- configuration of projects to load, with prerequisites (using
Metacello perhaps?). Right now this is hard-coded, see TSProject
class>>run
- headless running (sometimes some interactive dialogs still pop up,
especially when there is a problem loading a package, and this ruins
the automatization)
- better handling of errors (problems such as above)

What is this "testServer" you are talking about? I searched this
forum a
little bit but didn't find any information on it.
I write web-apps in Django for Google App Engine, and my current
test suite
for a project takes 45 seconds to run. This frustrates me because
unit
testing is (or, at least, should be) an easily distributed task (as
good
unit tests do not depend on each other). If Python would even
simply use
both cores of my main work computer, my tests would only take 23
seconds,
and if it used all computers on my local network, it could take 5-10
seconds. This would be a huge saving for me.
All of this to say I have been thinking about a 'test server' that
would
take a queue of tests, set up the proper environments on as many
cores as it
had available, and send out the tests, collect the responses and
display
them.
Is this what you mean by 'testServer'?
I have wanted to help Pharo, but being an un-skilled Smalltalk
programmer,
and having other Python-based projects that were more urgent, I
haven't done
much about it. However, this 'testServer' caught my eye, because
I've been
thinking about creating such a thing for my own Python-based use.
Please
let me know if what I propose is what you intend. If so I may be
willing to
try and create something for Pharo to use.
Kind regards,
Robert
