Re: [racket-dev] [racket-bug] all/11586: Rackunit does not protect itself against errors that kill the thread
FWIW, there's actually no problems in the server. There were just broken tests.

I'm replying-all to a thread about an old problem report: http://bugs.racket-lang.org/query/?cmd=view&pr=11586 I've just discovered that the Web server test suite has been failing for a very long time. There was a test that killed the current thread. The text ui for Rackunit does not protect against this or show you it has happened, or even that there have been failing tests. Since I run my tests from the command line, I've never known, because it's a very late test and the suite runs for a long time. As an experiment, I tried in the GUI for Rackunit and it does protect itself. I found this "problem" in January just by thinking of funny test cases, without even realizing I had a test suite that actually exhibited this problem. I think this is very bad. I'm working on fixing the Web server now. Jay _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
