Between the two options of -walnut-summarize and -walnut-run, my preference would be for -walnut-run, but honestly, I don't very much like either of them. I feel that we are moving in the wrong direction with this unit testing framework, and should reconsider its basic design. It currently has a mainly command-line UI, embedded in the existing Conkeror command-line UI. I think this is the fundamental flaw in its design. The more complexity we are tempted to add to Conkeror core, and the more abstraction barriers we are tempted to break, all for the sake of a testing framework UI which was overcomplex to begin with, and which we hardly use to test anything worthwhile, the more we should ask if the present command-line interface is the best possible UI. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
