I was writing one in ppa-smoketest, and I got pretty tired of the high latency to test it against real Launchpad. However, the main thing I need to test here is that I'm correctly understanding (guessing) how Launchpad APIs work, so writing my own mocks would be unsatisfactory. There would be a lot of risk of skew. It would be amazingly cool if I could set service_root=IMAGINARY_LAUNCHPAD and have it answer everything in process without going across the network, but guaranteed to look realistic. -- Martin <http://launchpad.net/~mbp/> _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
