jhbuild | general | Ver: unspecified ------- Comment #14 from Frederic Peters 2007-04-05 06:47 UTC ------- There is already support for make check in jhbuild. Also, having tests in a different module is not mandatory, we could support LDTP/Dogtail tests integrated into application sources as well. There are comments from David Malcolm wrt this issue: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dogtail-devel-list/2006-August/msg00001.html I quote the relevant part: Whether tests should live with the software they test, or in a separate module is a much-debated area. I think we should allow modules to have tests live inside them, if possible: an example of a module with inline dogtail tests is Frysk ( http://sourceware.org/frysk/ ) where the tests for the java-gnome GUI are deeply embedded within the rest of the test suite: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/frysk-gui/frysk/gui/test/dogtail_scripts/?cvsroot=frysk The caveat is that such a module can't be within the dependency tree for dogtail, or you'll run into circular dependency problems (I think). With my "distribution" hat on I have a preference for out-of-module test suites since it makes packaging easier: I can run the tests on an installed package on a live distribution, without having to deal with a build system. Though obviously this is heading off-topic for a tinderbox-style setup. -- See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=email.html for more info about why you received this email, why you can't respond via email, how to stop receiving emails (or reduce the number you receive), and how to contact someone if you are having problems with the system.
