Hi List, For anyone interested, I've created a little shell script who's purpose is to attempt to do some regression testing of vapi generation. It's filed in bugzilla here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624155 As it's quite handy for anyone doing any modifications to vapigen, I thought I'd post to this list too in case anyone is patching / has patched vapigen and would like to do some testing to see if their changes introduce any regressions or bugs. Copy of info from the bugzilla bug: For the moment I've placed it in vapi/packages (since it's only really useful with a gitclone). For usage: regressiontest.sh -h The tool has two modes - full pass or stop on error. Full Pass: ---------- regressiontest.sh -F Will attempt to pass over all libraries it finds and give a general report at the end regarding .vapi differences. When there is a difference or error during generation the relevant files are left in the directory for inspection. Example output from current HEAD vapigen and existing vapi files (12th July 2010): Report: Total libraries found: 74 Libraries not installed on current machine: 19 VAPIS skipped (due to .skipped file): 0 Generated VAPI matches existing version: 46 Generated VAPI differs from existing version: 9 atk gdu gdu-gtk gnome-keyring-1 gstreamer-cdda-0.10 gstreamer-controller-0.10 gstreamer-dataprotocol-0.10 libgda-4.0 libsoup-2.4 Errors encountered during generation: 1 gstreamer-0.10 Stop On Error: -------------- Will halt when the first difference in a .vapi is found or vapigen produced an error. This one is useful if you have introduced a bug or regression and wish to test again to see if you've fixed it. Will output a "diff" on stdout. Will not re-check individual libraries in subsequent launches (by using a [.skipped/.checked] file). If you've checked the diff and want to skip it next time you run the tool, a "touch {LIBNAME}.checked" will mark it to be skipped next time the "stop on error" mode is run. Cleanup: -------- The script will clean up any of it's files in the current directory by passing the [-C/--cleanup] flag. For more info, have a look in the script itself. _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
