Alan Conway commented on QPID-5307:
-----------------------------------
+1 on a single portable language. I prefer ruby but pragmatically python seems
the better choice since many/most of the existing tests are in python. I'm
assigned to this but won't be able to work on it for a while so if someone else
wants to take it please feel free.
> Change test scripts to cross-platform language

> The C++ tree's test suite drivers are primarily shell scripts. Many were
> duplicated as Windows PowerShell scripts along the way. However, not all
> scripts were PowerShell-ized, and the dual set of test scripts is not
> maintained in sync. Someone (Cliff?) suggested a while back that the test
> driver scripts be written in a common language across Linux and Windows, and
> for other platforms as well.
> Python, Perl, Ruby are all possible choices - python and ruby need to be on
> build systems anyway for code generation. What do people think about a) this
> idea in general, b) language to use?
