Joan Touzet commented on COUCHDB-1963:
--------------------------------------
Let's keep this bug limited to etap -> eunit and discuss the JS tests in
another bug, there are other things to consider such as fauxton tests, possibly
sharing a test suite with PouchDB, etc. that make this a less straightforward
decision.
But I agree, our JS tests need love too :)
> Move from etap to eunit
> -----------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-1963
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1963
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Test Suite
> Reporter: Joan Touzet
> Assignee: Alexander Shorin
> Labels: etap, eunit, test
>
> Pursuant to an IRC/Twitter discussion, it seems that there is some
> support ([~pjdavis1970], [~janl]) to move off of etap. Motivations include
> etap being unmaintained for 2+ years, eunit shipping with Erlang, and least
> importantly etap tests being completely broken on the Windows build.
> There are only 63 .t files in the entire source tree; hopefully this is work
> that can be weekend-tackled by one person, or could be tag-teamed with little
> friction.
> There was a subsequent discussion about the current, existing JS tests; while
> there are issues with these and room for improvement, this bug is *strictly*
> about our white-box etap unit tests and larger multi-instance tests that may
> not best be accomplished by a JS framework.
