I think it leads to subtle questions such as "What happens when the <about> in a plugin specifies author and homepage, but not a license. Should the licence be 'inherited' from the .pluginmap?" I think this has some potential for confusion, esp., if we ever do add another attribute. For the use case of an identical <about> for several plugins and pluginmap, you can simply use <include> (and possibly <insert>). > i thought of something like "load all needed stuff for plugin testing, cd > to unpacked plugin directory (or a tests subdir in that), and run the > residing test suite". it might help to either demand a fixed > subdir/testsuite name scheme, or add a "plugintest" element to the <about> > section. Yes, sounds reasonable (though I'm not quite sure, exactly *when* the tests will be run). Demanding a fixed naming scheme should be good enough, and helps achieving some consistency. I'd propose to make the rule that "tests/all_test.R" will be run (if it exists). > you're talking about RKWard's testing framework in general, not an > individual test, right? that can surely be done. from a first glance it > should include all of tests/test_framework.R and a somehow generalized > form of > tests/all_tests.R -- do you agree? Right. Regards Thomas
