Another thing I've noticed is occasional sluggishness in the UI.
It's hard to pinpoint, I often feel like my clicks are being lost.
I have not seen that one.
After some more usage I'll pinpoint where it's happening, since it
interrupts the train of thought otherwise.
The behaviour of the TestRunner was odd. Eventually I discovered
running tests via the Nautilus browser, but the UI feedback is
extremely confusing for "abstract" test cases. I still don't quite
understand the results I see there, so I do a final run of the
tests in the TestRunner.
Odd in which sense? related to the progress bar?
The TestRunner was sluggish when selecting test cases. This was the case
in Pharo-1.4 too, but a little worse in Pharo-2.0. I had some tests that
caused the UI to stop responding (had to kill the image, but the image's
cpu usage was normal). Once the test cases passed, I've not seen the
problem again.
The main problem is that if I see a test failure in the TestRunner. Then
when I try to browse that test case, the actual test code is in a
superclass. But, it's unclear how to invoke that test case for the
subclass through Nautilus, and it's not clear where the test result is
shown in Nautilus (i.e. where is the green icon when the actual test
method is in the superclass).
Another strange issue I had with test cases was to do with the
interaction of the deprecation warnings. In by build script, I
run: Deprecation raiseWarning: false. Deprecation showWarning:
false. so the build can run headless. It took me a few hours, and a
careful single stepping, to find that the deprecation exceptions
were being swallowed. I'm sure the TestRunner did not behave this
way before. If you ran a test, you would still see the deprecation
exceptions. It was really frustrating to see your test fail, but
have the stack cleared out before you could debug the exception
that caused the test failure.
Can you add a bug tracker entry for that one?
