Hi Mark,

(1) The current status quo is that the 0.9.3 release will still rely on 
autotools as the primary build system, while the next release very likely will 
be based on CMake. There is already some work done, but I personally don’t have 
the full overview about the current status of the CMake support, so you may ask 
for the details on the mailing list if such becomes necessary. I’ll cross-post 
this to the dev-list.


(2) Moving entries to /.gitignore would be good. 

> avoid unintentional side-effects with other languages, by ignoring 
> `packages`, for instance

Should be possible by means of entries that exclude only files in a given 
subfolder, similar to 

    /lib/csharp/**/bin/
    /lib/delphi/test/*.dcu


(3) The ThriftTest integration test is a cornerstone of Thrift. If the Dart 
code is compatible with Dart, well that’s a good start. ;-) but not really 
sufficient. As always, the devil’s in the details. The ThriftTest is designed 
to validate cross-language and cross-platform compatibility in a standardized 
manner. And it gives us reviewers something to play with, besides the 
(comparingly simple) tutorial stuff. 

Some form of a self-test is usually included when “make check” is run, 
typically a server/client pair of that language (given you have a server, of 
course) using the ThriftTest integration test code. A question that frequently 
raises is the location of the tests. This has evolved over time, and the 
current consensus and rule-of-thumb is this:

    (a) the ThriftTest integration test should be placed under /test/<lang>
    (b) any other, especially language-specific tests, should be placed under 
/lib/<lang>/test 


> we don't plan to implement a full Dart Thrift server implementation yet.  
> [...] using Dart for a server is far less common.

I think that’s fine. 


(4) suggestions

Would it be possible to connect the tutorial to “make check” as well? That 
would be awesome.

Have fun,
JensG

bindings in Thrift

Hi Jens, 

1) I did not intentionally introduce a dependency on CMake.  My changes to 
build files resulted from looking for usages of `as3`, and adding Dart support 
where it seemed appropriate.  I may have missed something here?


2) I can move the .gitignore entries for Dart to the main file.  I added a 
local file to avoid unintentional side-effects with other languages, by 
ignoring `packages`, for instance.  But it looks like it should be fine to move 
it to the root file.

3) That's correct, we have not implemented the ThriftTest integration test yet. 
 We can work on this - it looks like the php implementation is pretty 
straightforward, so I might start from that.  Like the php test, the Dart would 
only test the client, since we don't plan to implement a full Dart Thrift 
server implementation yet.  Of course someone else could add this later, but 
using Dart for a server is far less common.

Thank you for looking at the Dart PR.  Please let us know if you have any other 
questions or suggestions.  Thanks,

Mark

  Hi Mark,

  a few comments, just trying to get it running on my machine.

  1) Looks as if I have to use CMake? Just asking ... no need to panic. :-)
  2) We usually don't use local .gitgnore files, only one in the root folder
  3) I found the tutorial, but the integration test (ThriftTest.thrift) is 
probably still work in progress?

  Thanks + keep up the good work,
  JensG
