Wow ! What a tiny shortcut ! :P Well in that case I could take some time to make it simpler, but I'd not want to start from scratch specially knowing that maybe there's something out there being useful ;o) The fact is that some plugins I maintain are getting bigger and I really need to find a way to perform regression tests automatically on them. I prefer to spend some time writing something for that purpose instead of wasting the same time (or more :-/ ) testing every single feature and their interactions > and because I don't know if there is a testing framework When I said «I could start writing all that from scratch using any testing framework, » I was thinking about general-purpose testing framews (e.g. unittest, doctest, nose, py.test, dutest ; or maybe others like Mock or twill ) > and I haven't had time to write one myself :( Hence me revoicing your > concerns > Well probably it's time to code together and start doing it ;o) In the end that should be better for everybody : Better plugins for Trac :) -- Regards, Olemis.
