Patrick Crews: Sphinx documentation for Drizzle’s test-runner now available
In case you missed it, Drizzle is now using Sphinx to produce our documentation. If you have sphinx installed (version 1+), you can generate them yourself with `make html`. It is easy to work with (it’s Python, after all) and creates some very nice looking docs.
For those of you familiar with MySQL, test-run is similar to mysql-test-run, but with some adjustments for Drizzle. It allows a user to run the test suite to ensure the system is performing correctly. You can view the code coverage we achieve here.
One of the most important things people can do to help us move Drizzle from beta to GA is to try it out. We do test very heavily, but extra sets of eyes are always helpful. Let us know if things are broken or if you have thoughts on how things could work better; we welcome the feedback.
In the future, I intend to expand on the testing documents to include writing test cases and documenting the language features that are available in test-run. Additionally, I will be writing up docs on how to use the randgen with Drizzle. Please let us know via the mailing list / IRC / whatever if you have any specific information you’d like to see documented.
Also, if you are interested in contributing, but don’t necessarily want to hack on the code, I encourage you to tinker with the documentation – we are more than happy to accept patches : ) You can find the source files in drizzle/docs.
