In the recipe? The recipe takes two arguments: - a list of regular expressions to describe packages that should be included - a list of regular expressions to describe packages that should be excluded There is currently a builtin list for each of them that gets appended to the ones you specify when using the recipe in your buildout. >> I think it would be useful to standardize on *one* compatibility >> testing >> method for the ZTK (and then document it). > > Yes. > >> My instinct would be to separate KGS handling from tarball creation >> from >> testing, that is, remove the test-business from zope.release and use >> the >> compattest recipe instead.

The compattest is intended to check the trunks of packages located in one repository like svn.zope.org against the development version of the package you're working on so you can see whether your changes will cause others that depend on you to break. I think it's one of the issues we need to solve in our process and it was actually very valuable when doing the large dependency refactoring at the sprint. If you have a multi-core machine, you can also ask it to run the various test runners in parallel. I was able to execute the 100+ package tests in less than 10 minutes on an 8-core machine.

Basically, It could easily be one step. The two steps stem from the fact that you have a KGS file from which you produce all sorts of interesting artifacts.

I think we should make that a rule. So, I wonder if there is a previous revision of the trunk for which the tests pass for some version of Python. I guess I'll try to discover that.

I added a compattest part: [compattest] recipe = z3c.recipe.compattest I didn't get bin/compattest, but I did get bin/test_compattest. When I run this, I get lots and lots of errors. :( I could attach them, but what's the point? >> I don't know how to supply the set of dependents to that recipe >> (something in the buildout config file, I guess). > > You can specify include and exclude options; the default is to > include a > list of zope.* packages that we pulled out of thin air at the sprint, > it'd probably be better to use the KGS as a default instead -- but > that > would duplicate even more zope.release functionality. > > I think it would be useful to standardize on *one* compatibility > testing > method for the ZTK (and then document it). > > My instinct would be to separate KGS handling from tarball creation > from > testing, that is, remove the test-business from zope.release and use > the > compattest recipe instead.

I'm kind of stuck at this point. The KGS approach seems most promising because it is based on the idea of a known working configuration. It is still baffling to me that people checked version numbers into the trunk of zope.release that don't pass tests. (Many of the packages there don't even run their tests.)

I agree we need one way to do this. I think the KGS concept is right. I think there should be a known good configuration of packages and a way to evolve it. The configuration should be changed only after testing changes. The configuration needs to include Python versions that it is tested with.

I think it would be good if someone actually would define what the ZTK includes in terms of packages ;) zope.release currently defines some megalomanic set of all zope, z3c and bunch of other things. Some of the z3c packages require lxml which has been seen as a bit tedious to deal with. I don't know when all tests for all packages in zope.release have passed last, but I suspect that has been quite a while for its current trunk. I can still offer http://svn.zope.org/Zope/trunk/versions.cfg?view=markup as a base for a technical definition. That list uses all the latest versions of all packages available on PyPi and I keep it updated for now, as there's no other place where I could get a current ZTK KGS definition from. It includes all packages that are required by Zope2 to both run it and run all of its tests including all tests for all transitive dependencies.

I haven't studied zope.release closely yet, but I think testing-wise it does quite a similar thing, namely running tests for a set of packages. The difference is that compattest uses either pinned version from buildout (but doesn't supply its own list of pins), or alternatively trunk checkouts. Also, it seems to be more lightweight than zope.release both in concept and in usage (mostly since it only does one thing, namely running tests, and not other release management stuff like creating tarballs and uploading them etc.), but I'm biased since I'm one of the compattest authors. For the record, the usage is 1. add it to your buildout, minimally like so: [compattest] recipe = z3c.recipe.compattest 2. run bin/compattest 3. there is no step three. ;-) > I don't know how to supply the set of dependents to that recipe > (something in the buildout config file, I guess). You can specify include and exclude options; the default is to include a list of zope.* packages that we pulled out of thin air at the sprint, it'd probably be better to use the KGS as a default instead -- but that would duplicate even more zope.release functionality. I think it would be useful to standardize on *one* compatibility testing method for the ZTK (and then document it). My instinct would be to separate KGS handling from tarball creation from testing, that is, remove the test-business from zope.release and use the compattest recipe instead.

IMO, Any ZTK package should be testable via plain 'python2.{5,6} setup.py test'. If that doesn't get the testing dependencies installed, then they should be added. There is a recipe for testing *other* packages which might be affected by changes to the package-under-development: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/z3c.recipe.compattest I don't know how to supply the set of dependents to that recipe (something in the buildout config file, I guess).

While I know that Mac people often report problems building lxml, I never have issues building lxml on Linux: the '--static-deps' option is a sufficient workaround for variants with too-old versions of libxml2 / libxslt.

Re: [Zope-dev] How to test changes to ZTK packages?
Can't use lxml on google app engine either. I use ElementTree. If only the lxml extensions to the etree API were available in ElementTree, especially the ability to pretty print the xml and do xpath queries, that would be great.

I have mainly run test under 2.5. I am fine if people run those tests after changes in any Python version. ;-) Of course, if you want to be super-diligent, I think both Python 2.5 and 2.6 should be tested. Regards.

Who is not > using lxml? I suspect the majority of people who use OSX as their main platform try to stay as far away from lxml as possible. Not because lxml is bad, but because unless you use special magic it will make your python randomly segfault. This is very sad, and it is not lxml's fault but I see no good solution at this moment. Using z3c.recipe.staticlxml recipe helps a bit for people using buildout, but that is not everyone and even then I have seen random segfaults.

The tests > hang when I try to build and run with Python 2.6. Yes, I think testing with zope.release is a good way of doing this right now. I tried to verify the steps: 1. Checkout zope.release 2. Run python bootstrap.py 3. Run ./bin/buildout -N 4. Run ./bin/generate-buildout 5. cd test 6. python ../bootstrap.py 7. ./bin/buildout -N 8. ./bin/test -vpc1 I am running the tests as I am writing this. So far I got one failure: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/zope/packages/eggs/z3c.macro-1.2.1-py2.5.egg/z3c/macro/tests.py", line 29, in import z3c.pt ImportError: No module named pt I'll report the full output when it is done. > BTW, zope.release wants lxml, which is a real pain on Mac OS X and > Centos 4. Does the ZTK really need to depend on lxml? It is needed for the "latest-versions" script as this parses XML. I consider lxml pretty much the standard tool to do XML in Python these days. Who is not using lxml? Having said that, "latest-versions" is not needed by everyone all the time. I could live with putting it into an extra and not build the latest-versions script by default.

Re: [Zope-dev] How to test changes to ZTK packages?
I have to chime in here too lxml is a real pain and seems to be problematic to get a straightforward build for packages other than ZTK as well. I have had varying success building lxml even under ubuntu - success seems to be dependant on the type of build defined.

[Zope-dev] How to test changes to ZTK packages?
I should know this, but I don't. What is the recommended way to test changes to core ZTK packages to mitigate the risk that changes affect other packages? Is there a page somewhere with instructions? I tried using using zope.release. Building the trunk of zope.release with Python 2.4 and running the tests gives lots of test import errors and test failures. (Lots of tests want to import z3c.pt.) The tests hang when I try to build and run with Python 2.6. BTW, zope.release wants lxml, which is a real pain on Mac OS X and Centos 4. Does the ZTK really need to depend on lxml?
