Let me know if you come up with something - I'd be interested in
contributing to such a project.
I started working on a project I'm calling Testjour to solve this at
http://github.com/brynary/testjour/tree/master .
It's not at all usable for general consumption, but there's a base to
hack on. Here's what I have working:
* Using Bonjour autodiscovery of available test running slaves
* Sending feature files to be run and results back and forth over DRb
* Setting up and tearing down new MySQL databases for each test run to
avoid conflicts
There's plenty that needs to be done before it's really usable,
specifically:
* Adding RSync support to transfer code to worker servers
* Daemonizing/detaching the slave process
* Adding logging and PID tracking
* And more in the TODO.txt
If I can get this running well, we're going to purchase Mac Mini build
nodes for the office. My (ambitious) goal is to cut the story run time
on a developer machine from 12 minutes down to two.
Example from two Terminal windows:
$ testjour_slave
Broadcasting: Ready to run tests under name 'bhelmkamp' on port 51814...
Running tests from queue druby://Fozzie.local:51818 on PID 16482
----------------------
$ testjour_run features/authentication/authenticaton.feature
....F_...
1)
BOOM
/Users/bhelmkamp/p/weplay/features/steps/authentication.rb:10:in `When
"I login"'
/Users/bhelmkamp/p/weplay/features/authentication/authenticaton.feature:13:in
`When I login'
I'm resurrecting this thread. This is becoming a major issue for us, and
we have some allocated time coming into play soon to work on a solution.
What's the current state of the art for distributed test runs? Is
anybody doing it for real? As part of the build or before check-in?
Where would be the best place to contribute effort? Testjour looks the
most likely...
If you are thinking Selenium then there is the Selenium grid direction.
Any others out there?
cheers,
Matt
