We've got this one: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-769 Let us know if this is close to what you have in mind. > This would allow people to use bigtops test framework along with their > own custom smokes, without having to create new maven submodules. Right, so that was the idea behind BIGTOP-769 -- be able to bridge into existing frameworks in a generic way. > I'm not sure it's a perfect idea but just want to see if anyone else wants > this , > if so it would be nice to add a miscellaneous test module into test artifacts > that runs all the shell scripts in resources/ and passes/fails accordingly. I think it would be really useful to have a simple bridge into shell-based tests. More complexity above that (e.g. bridging into, lets say, PySys) might just be a point of diminishing returns. Thanks, Roman.
