Issue 114: Test against IronPython 2.0 Release Candidate
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=114
Comment #2 by janne.t.harkonen:
First of all, there is already a release candidate out for IronPython 2.0,
changed
the title of the issue to reflect this.
Steps to get Robot Framework running under IronPython
1. Copy expatbuilder.py from under Python\Lib\xml\dom to
IronPython\Lib\xml\dom
2. Copy expat from under Python\Lib\xml\parsers to
IronPython\Lib\xml\parsers
3. download
https://fepy.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fepy/trunk/lib/pyexpat.py and
put it in the IRONPYTHONPATH (IronPython\Lib is in IRONPYTHONPATH always)
Now there are a number of problems and issues that seem to pop up when some
larger
suite of tests is executed with IPy, and it would probably be wisest to open
separete issues for any problems that can be pinpointed acccurately.
Another concern is that executing Robot Framework acceptance tests with IPy
is
reeaaaallllly slow. The interpreter startup time is so huge that the current
acceptance test system does not seem to fit for running tests with IPy.
Once the
interpreter is running the tests are executed quite quickly though, so the
performance won't be as bad when Robot is started only once.
I think that there will be so many separate issues that trying to make
2.0.3 IPy
compatible canot be reasonably achieved.
