Ah, the renaming of the git repository from 'freetype2' to 'freetype' (and 'freetype2-demos' to 'freetype-demos') and thus the names of the associated directories happened after last year's GSoC, which means the scripts have to be adapted accordingly. > I need some help and i request someone to try this out locally on > your end, and tell me is it working because i have tried several > times it is not working for me... I hope it works for you now. In general, such broad messages like 'it doesn't work for me inspite of following the instructions to the letter' doesn't allow us to help you at all. It is necessary that you describe your setup and procedure as detailed as possible so that we can follow you closely. This includes build log files, environment settings (if necessary), directory names, setup etc., etc. In most cases, the cause of the problem is a typo or a tiny missing detail that is near to impossible to catch otherwise.

Hi Aman, Forget about Xvfb. Compile freetype-demos (ftview, and ftgrid) and run them directly. Try making screenshot by pressing [P] or using -kPq switch.

Hello Aman, > i wanna ask that can we run this framework in any other way than > running locally or not? The idea is to have this run remotely eventually, using the CI capabilities of the gitlab instance on freedesktop.org (or maybe something else in case this isn't sufficient for whatever reason) to automatically generate HTML pages with images. However, it doesn't make a big difference: The CI stuff has to be tested and prepared locally; to do debugging is probably a nightmare otherwise. So it boils down whether it is ok that extra prerequisites are required, and the answer is yes. Here is an example MR (merge request) for the LilyPond typesetter that I've already sent some months ago to the list: https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/589 and here are the artifacts of a successfully executed pipeline job for online viewing (doing `make test` for the MR and comparing it to a baseline's `make test`): https://lilypond.gitlab.io/-/lilypond/-/jobs/944871436/artifacts/test-results/index.html Whether you say `make test` on your computer or whether the CI engine does `make test`, there isn't a difference. In both cases HTML files are generated. > Please do share the process because i got nothing related to this > related on readme.. and is process of running locally is written > clearly in the documentation because there is difference between > instructions given in readme and report given to mailing list by > Greg Williamson. It is not clear what problems arise for you because of the local vs. remote thing. Please elaborate. Maybe I don't understand you correctly. Werner
Re: testing framework GSOC
Hi all, i wanna ask that can we run this framework in any other way than running locally or not? Please do share the process because i got nothing related to this related on readme..and is process of running locally is written clearly in the documentation because there is difference between instructions given in readme and report given to mailing list by Greg Williamson. And Alexei can you tell that what is the thing you want to improve in image generation and what is inside the demo programs? That can be useful Thanks Aman Kapoor > >> >> >>
